1.1.2. Bedding (burnishing) procedure

1.1.2.1. General conditions

Brake lining assemblies submitted for test shall be fitted to the relevant brakes. In the case of replacement brake lining assemblies, new brake linings must be used. Drum brake linings may be machined to achieve the best possible initial contact between the linings and drum(s). The test vehicle shall be fully laden.

Original brake lining assemblies used for comparison test and already fitted to the test vehicle may be used provided they are in a good condition and have not been worn out by more than 20 per cent of the initial thickness. They must not show damages, cracks, excessive corrosion or signs of overheating. They shall be bedded to the procedure described below.

1.1.2.2. Procedure

Perform a minimum 50 km driving distance and at least 100 brake applications at varying decelerations (at least between 1 m/s

and 5 m/s

) with initial speeds between 50 km/h and 120 km/h. A temperature range between 250 °C and 500 °C for pad assemblies or between 150 °C and 250 °C for drum brake lining assemblies (measured at the rubbing surface of the disc or drum) must be achieved at least three times during the bedding procedure. Temperatures must not exceed 500 °C for pad assemblies and 250 °C for drum brake lining assemblies.

1.1.2.3. Performance check

By braking only one axle at a time perform five brake applications from 70 km/h to 0 km/h (front axle) and 45 km/h to 0 km/h (rear axle) at a line pressure of 4 Mpa(1) and with an initial temperature of 100 °C for each stop. The five consecutive non-monotonic results must remain within the tolerance of 0,6 m/s

Where brake lining assembly approval is required for front axle brakes the rear axle brakes shall remain inoperative throughout the test.

Where brake lining assembly approval is required for rear axle brakes the front axle brakes shall remain inoperative throughout the test.

2.1.1. Cold performance equivalence test

A comparison of the cold performance of the replacement brake lining assembly and the original brake lining assembly shall be made by comparing the results of testing to the following method:

2.1.1.1.

Make a minimum of six brake applications at spaced increments of pedal effort or line pressure up to wheel lock or, alternatively, up to a mean fully developed deceleration of 6 m/s

or up to the allowed maximum pedal force for the category of vehicle in question from an initial speed as given in the table below:

Vehicle category	Test speed in km/h

M2	50	40
N1	65	50

The initial brake temperature at the start of each application shall be ≤ 100 °C.

2.1.1.2.

Note and plot pedal force or line pressure and mean fully developed deceleration for each application, and determine the pedal force or line pressure required to achieve (if possible) a mean fully developed deceleration of 5 m/s

The test is regarded as having been passed if 150 or more cycles are completed without damage or failure.

If less than 150 cycles but more than 100 cycles are completed without damage or failure then the test must be repeated on a new replacement part. Under these circumstances both tests must complete more than 100 cycles without damage or failure for the part to have passed the test.

If less than 100 cycles are completed before damage or failure then a test should be conducted on the original part and the results compared. If the damage or failure point is no worse than the number of cycles of the original part – 10 per cent then the test is regarded as having been passed.

Damage in this context means:

(a) radial cracks on the friction surface which are longer than 2/3 of the radial height of the friction surface;

(b) cracks on the friction surface which reach the inner or outer diameter of the friction surface;

4.2.1.1.3. Test result (brake drum thermal fatigue test)

The test is regarded as having been passed if 450 or more brake applications are completed without damage or failure.

If less than 450 brake applications but more than 300 brake applications are completed without damage or failure then the technical service must repeat the test on a new replacement part. Under these circumstances both tests must complete more than 300 brake applications without damage or failure for the part to have passed the test.

If less than 300 brake applications are completed before damage or failure then a test should be conducted on the original part and the results compared — if the damage or failure point is no worse than the original part then the test is regarded as having been passed.

Damage in this context means:

(a) cracks on the friction surface which are longer than 2/3 of the axial width of the friction surface;

(b) cracks on the friction surface which reach the axial outer end of the drum;

(d) any type of structural damage or cracks in any area outside the friction surface.
