Abstract
The function of clutch is to transmit power from one point to another and the brakes has to decelerate the speeding counter-surface. In both the cases, the interface between clutch/brake surface and the counter-surface undergoes intense frictional action that results in higher instant flash temperature that in turns causes loss of frictional response hence affects the performance. Therefore, material designing of such parts needs paramount attention for the best running performance.
