Abstract

Brake system is one of the necessary components of the vehicle. The braking system is used to stop the vehicle within a smallest distance possible. A Review will be helpful in understanding the improvement of the performance of the brake system, to reduce the fuel consumption and weight in automobiles. This article discusses the use of MMC material instead of conventional material. An improvement in MMCs is observed during the last three decades in a big way, primarily because of their superior mechanical and tribological properties compared to monolithic materials. The principal advantage of MMCs over other materials lies in the improved strength and hardness on weight basis. The discussion is concentrated on selection of matrix and reinforcement material and variables considered during the performance test on disc brake system.
