Brake wear particle emissions: a review (2014, unknown): “A detailed explanatory model of the complex contact situation between an organic brake pad and a cast iron disc has been developed and published by some researchers (Eriksson et al. 2002; Österle et al. 2001; Ostermeyer 2001).”
Frictional performance evaluation of newly designed brake pad materials (2013, background): “The rotor disc materials of a disc brake system are normally made from gray cast iron due to its excellent heat conductivity, good damping capacity and high strength [1–3].”
Wear mechanism in automotive brake materials, wear debris and its potential environmental impact (2009, unknown): “It is necessary to note that the friction layer is called “friction film” by several authors [17, 18, 19], and it was also described as “transfer layer” [20, 21], “transfer film” [22], “third body” layer [17, 23], “tribo-layer” [2], “tribofilm” [24], “mechanically mixed layer” (MML) [25], and as “fi”
On the dynamics of the friction coefficient (2003, background): “The optical characterizing of these tribological surfaces on a microscopic level just starts [1,2].”
Contact surface topography and system dynamics of brake squeal (2008, background): “[25] showed that the real contact between brake pads and disc consists of a number of small contact plateaus.”
