This experimental investigation analysis the performance of different brake shoe materials by evaluating their wear resistance and hardness. Brake shoes are critical components in ensuring vehicle safety, and selecting the right material is essential for optimal braking performance. The study compares materials such as cast iron, carbon composites, and ceramics under controlled wear tests and hardness measurements. Wear tests were performed using a friction testing machine to simulate real-world braking conditions, where materials were subjected to varying loads, speeds, and temperatures to assess their wear rates and frictional behaviour. Hardness was measured using Rockwell and Vickers scales to determine the resistance of each material to deformation under high stress. Results showed that cast iron brake shoes, though cost-effective, had higher wear rates and lower hardness compared to carbon composites and ceramic materials. The latter exhibited superior wear resistance, higher hardness, and better stability under thermal and mechanical stresses. These findings suggest that advanced materials like carbon composites and ceramics offer better performance, especially in high-performance or heavy-duty applications, providing improved durability and reduced maintenance. This study highlights the critical role of material selection in brake shoe design and offers valuable insights for future automotive applications.
