dc.description.abstractBrake pads are the most important components of an automobile braking system majorly for deceleration of vehicles by transforming the kinetic energy of the vehicle to heat energy. The performance of a brake pad depends on the frictional material that is used in its formulation. Carcinogenic nature of asbestos fibers in brake pad which is dangerous to human health makes its use no longer acceptable, and this has led to development of new asbestos-free friction materials for brake pads. This study focused on the production of brake pads using kenaf fiber composite that are eco-friendly following the powder metallurgy methods. The properties of the produced brake pads, such as comprehensive strength, wear rate, water absorption and flame resistance were tested to ascertain its suitability. The results from the tests confirm that the produced brake pads compared favorably with commercial brake pads.
