The Friction and Wear Influence of Laser Processing Bionic Brake Drum Unit on the Brake Pad

Abstract

This article starts with the analysis of the contact between the laser processing bionic brake drum unit body and the brake pad and performs the analysis of the force between the unit body and the brake pad based on elastic mechanics and contact mechanics. By using the Preston equation, the wear of the brake pad caused by the unit body is obtained, as well as the relevant factors and influence rule which affects the wear of the brake pad are found. During laser processing on the bionic brake drum unit body, in order to reduce wear of brake pad, the height of the unit body should be minimized. Besides, the light intensity at the centre of the laser spot should be reduced, and the laser intensity distribution should be more uniform, which can effectively improve the environmental friendliness of the brake drum.
