Kaji Pembuatan Kanvas Rem Sepeda Motor Bahan Komposit Dengan Filler Palm Slag

Abstract

Brake  pads have a very important role to become a major factor in driving safety.  Brake
quality depends on the constituent materials. Palm slag is one that has potential as a filler
material for composite brake. Manufacture of brake pads in this study using the palm slag as a
filler, phenolic resin as a binder, steel powder as reinforcing, graphite as a lubricant, alumina
as an abrasive. In the manufacture of brake pads remains composition of materials used to
variation the compacting and sintering temperature. This study will examine the wear rate and
hardness in the brake pads against the brake commercial reference. Brake pads are made with
palm slag initial compacting varied  is 190 Bar and 380 bar and then proceed with the final
compacting of 450 bar ± 2 minutes. Brake pads that have been heated to a temperature of
1500
C using the heater. Brake  pads  that have been  sintered variations to 1500
C and 1700
C.
Brake pads that have sintered be tested for wear and hardness. Brinell hardness testing to get
the highest hardness in the brake B is 15.35 BHN (kgf/mm2
) commercial brake approaching
violence. In dry conditions the wear testing found the smallest wear is approaching
commercial brake brake B is equal to 4777 x 10-6 g/mm2
.seconds with a  braking  time of
15.33 seconds and shortest braking distance is 63 meters.
