Summary:

The effects of particle size and composition of platelet titanates, including potassium titanate and potassium-magnesium titanate, were investigated to determine their friction stability, wear resistance, and transfer film formation. The composition and properties of titanates were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and particle size analysis. Tribological properties were evaluated using a tribometer (MFT-5000), while the worn surfaces were analyzed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).Results indicate that the transfer film characteristics are significantly influenced by the particle size and composition of platelet titanates. Brake pads containing potassium-magnesium titanates formed a more uniform transfer film, leading to improved friction stability and reduced wear rates. In contrast, potassium titanates increased friction levels but also resulted in higher wear on the brake friction materials.These findings demonstrate the importance of carefully controlling titanate composition and particle size to enhance brake pad performance. This research provides valuable insights for designing more durable and stable brake materials
