The aim of this paper is to apply material selection methods for selecting the most appropriate material for piston application. Initial candidate materials such as, grey cast iron, Ti and Al alloys, 20% SiC reinforced Al and Al-Cu alloy matrix composites and WC-TiC reinforced Ti matrix composite were analysed based on their performance requirement

The aim of this paper is to develop new natural fibre reinforced aluminium composite for automotive brake pad application. Four different laboratory formulations were prepared with varying coconut fibre contents from 0, 5, 10 and 15 volume fraction along with binder, friction modifiers, abrasive material and solid lubricant using powder metallurgy

High temperature prediction on the brake rotor-pad interface of automotive brake rotor system was investigated using infrared (IR) thermograph camera and finite element method. Solid brake rotors made from aluminium matrix composite (AMC) and the conventional cast iron were employed in this investigation. The high speed IR camera was connected to a
