The invention discloses a
copper-based
powder metallurgy friction material containing composite
iron powder and a preparation method of the
copper-based
powder metallurgy friction material. The friction material is prepared from, by weight, 45%-60% of electrolytic
copper powder, 10%-20% of the composite
iron powder, 10%-15% of granular
graphite, 1%-5% of barite, 3%-6% of
tungsten oxide, 2%-4% of high-carbon
ferrochrome, 2%-4% of
silicon dioxide and 1%-2% of porous
zirconium carbide ceramic. Compared with the prior art, the friction material has the positive effects that the
iron powder prepared by two different processes is added into the friction material, and optimal
granularity matching is carried out, so that the strength and the
hardness of the material are improved, and meanwhile, the
noise generated in the braking process is effectively reduced. According to the invention, the porous
zirconium carbide ceramic is added into the friction material, so that the
heat resistance of a
brake pad can be improved, the stability of a
friction coefficient is ensured, and vibration and
noise during braking are reduced.
