Abstract: The primary means of mobility today are vehicles. For a better braking system, better materials are provided for tribo pairs. To reduce the cost of tribo pairs, composite materials are being increasingly used. This topic concerns the combination of the brake disc and brake pad, commonly referred to as a tribo pair. Due to its distinctive qualities, including high fatigue strength, high hardness, high strength, high specific modulus, light weight, and low density, the use of Al-SiC Metal Matrix Composites for brake discs and pads has been steadily increasing in recent years. The properties of the metal matrix composite, such as tensile and compression strength, as well as hardness, are investigated to identify the optimal carbide per cent. For brake pads, different material compositions are mixed, and in the powder metallurgy method, brake pad fabrication is developed. Previously, asbestos was commonly employed as a material for brake pads in automobiles. Brake pads are subjected to a great deal of friction, which generates a great deal of heat. Asbestos is a better heat absorber and dissipater than other materials. The main downside of asbestos is that it is incredibly harmful to human health. That’s why other materials can replace asbestos. This paper primarily covers the recent advancements in composite brake friction materials, along with a comparison of each component and proper validation.
