Abstract

The article describes the influence of the burnishing process on the disc brake friction characteristics. It shows the importance of brake burnish and how unburnished brake can affect vehicle safety. It shows the brake dynamometer test results obtained on six different brake pads compounds, their detailed analysis and comparison.
