dc.description.abstractMany experimental studies on the different compositions of brake pads have been carried out with the goal of providing sufficient wear resistance, stable friction and acceptable environmental conditions. However, the variation of the coefficient of friction and performance properties depends on it materials. The presence of different types of brake pads in the Nigerian market today makes it imperative to make a clear distinctions with regards to quality and performance. This study investigate the quality characteristics of commercially obtained brake pad for light weight vehicles with respect to their physical and mechanical properties. The vehicles considered for this study were those with gross weight of between 1500 – 3500 Kg in Ilorin. The brake pads of three different vehicle brands were procured and labelled A, B and C respectively. The properties examined were Brinell hardness, tensile strength, compressive strength, impact strength and coefficient of friction by following standard test in each case. The results obtained showed that at 3000 Kgf, sample A, B and C has Brinell hardness values of 117.15, 106.68 and 103.22 respectively. Sample C has the highest yield force under tensile at 815.03 N followed by sample A at 520.87 N and sample B at 426.51 N. Under compression, sample B has the highest yield force of 32.46 KN while sample A has 17.68 KN and sample C recorded 14.59 KN. The three test samples showed impact strengths of between 69 – 69.17 J with sample B having the highest impact strengths of 69.17 J. The coefficient of friction obtained ranges between 0.32 – 0.34. The results indicate non-uniformity in brake pads composition in the study area and the local authority involved with standardization needs to enforce strict adherence to standardsen_US
