Brake Pads: Effect Of Galvanic Current On The Corrodibility Of Friction Materials And Backplates

Brake Pads: Effect Of Galvanic Current On The Corrodibility Of Friction Materials And Backplates
Available for download

The brake system is a core component of cars, motorbikes, bikes, airplanes etc.. Its main task is to modulate the speed of moving vehicles by converting the kinetic energy into heat.1,2 In the case of modern cars or motorbikes, the speed modulation can be performed by using the so-called disc-brake system.1,2,3,4,5,6 This generates the braking torque by forcing two brake pads against a disc by the means of a caliper.2,3,5,6 In the case of cars, the disc and the caliper are enclosed within each wheel and, as a consequence, can be exposed to corrosion phenomena, mostly related with atmospheric or environmental conditions.1,3,7,8

The work reports for the first time galvanic current measurements for the friction material – backplate couple. In particular, two configurations including different friction materials and a steel-based backplate are considered. Measurements are performed using Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) and Zero Resistance Ammeter (ZRA) –based techniques and allow to: 1) investigate the interplay between galvanic currents and localized corrosion events at the interface between each investigated friction material and the corresponding backplate; 2) correlate the corrosion potential of stand-alone materials with that of multilayered specimens; and 3) identify friction materials which show a sacrificial anode behavior with respect to the backplate.

Biocide Storage Tank Internal Corrosion And A Mitigation Strategy – A Case Study

Variability of operation and practices can lead to mechanical integrity issues of equipment. A similar case was observed when an external UT survey was conducted on a biocide storage tank that showed localized areas of metal loss in the tank wall. The tank was opened for inspection and extensive internal corrosion damage was observed mainly in the form of large isolated pits. Three potential corrosion mitigation options were evaluated: upgrading the tank material from coated carbon steel to 316 stainless steel, installing a non-metallic lining, or keeping using the coated carbon steel and changing the operation practices. Each mitigation option was evaluated based integrity, feasibility, and economic factors. It was found that keeping the coated carbon steel and adjusting the operation practices can ensure the integrity of the tank while lowering the required economical investment. As such, a new operation manual was issued for the biocide storage tanks that ensured that the corrosion inducing environments are avoided.

When it comes to a bridge structure with a serviceable Organic Zinc / Epoxy / Urethane (OZ/E/U) coating system, there is no golden answer on the most cost-effective maintenance painting strategy. Depending on the severity and amount of corrosion and coating breakdown on the structure, planned maintenance surface preparations range from spot power tool cleaning and spot painting to a full SSPC-SP 10 media blast and full recoating operation.
