The invention discloses a vanadium-contained semimetallic brake block. The vanadium-contained semimetallic brake block includes, by weight, 5-7 parts of red copper fibers, 3-6 parts of potassium hexatitanate whiskers, 4-5 parts of barium sulfate, 15-25 parts of ferrovanadium powder, 4-6 parts of frictional powder, 13-15 parts of short stainless steel fibers, 6-10 parts of graphite, 2-4 parts of cellulosic fibers, 7-9 parts of coke blacking, 1-5 parts of modified resin nitrile fibers, 3-7 parts of chromite ore fine, 1-5 parts of nitrile rubber, 5-9 parts of ceramic adhesive agents and 8-10 parts of spray-bounded aluminum silicate fibers. The brake block obtained by material mixing, steel backing treatment, press molding, heat treatment, packaging and storage is low in wear rate, not prone to being dusty, high in density, good in heat dissipation, small in vibration, low in noise and high in corrosion resistance. The whole manufacturing process is simple, stability is good, cost is low and the cost-performance ratio is high.
