Automobile braking system is one of the most important mechanical devices. It is used for slowing or stopping the rotation of the wheel. The main aim of the braking system is to control the speed of the vehicle for which there is need of maximum coefficient of friction which can be obtained by studying the tribological study of automobile brake and brake pad material. So for braking action coefficient of friction & frictional force should be optimum. But there is limitation because inordinate braking causes hot spot formation and wear of the brake pad material. Composite strong lightweight materials are used for the industrial application because of their good mechanical properties compared with the conventional alloys and materials. According to ASTM G99 standard pin on disc apparatus is used to determine the relative wear. Taguchi approach with the L9 array is employed to conduct experimentations and extraneous array, signal to noise ratio and ANOVA for investigating wear behavior of composite brake pad.
