Development Of Polymer Resin-based Wet Friction Sheet Materials And Understanding Their Interactions With Automatic Transmission Fluids
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: As a very important component of automatic transmissions, torque converters are one of the most complicated parts in vehicles.Wet friction materials which are present in torque converter clutches attract attention because improvements made on these composite materials lead to better fuel efficiency and driving comfort.It is important to understand the possible interactions between wet friction materials and automatic transmission fluid (ATF) as the efficiency of the system highly depends on them.In the first part of this study, we report a novel method to measure the adsorption energy between a liquid adsorbate, ATF, and a solid adsorbent, wet friction material, using differential scanning calorimetry.Studies involving different adsorbents i.e. a wet friction material and its individual ingredients and different adsorbates i.e. a commercial
