These brake discs offer excellent wear resistance, high-temperature resistance, and braking performance, effectively enhancing vehicle safety and reliability. Prior art manufacturing processes for powder metallurgy brake discs typically involve cold-pressing metal powders, followed by high-temperature firing, and finally surface treatment. However, the resulting discs are semi-finished products that require subsequent assembly with heat dissipation components or cutting and drilling to create heat dissipation slots or holes. This makes subsequent processing complex and difficult.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to clearly and completely describe the objectives and technical solutions of the present invention and make its advantages more clearly understood, the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them, and are only used to explain the embodiments of the present invention, not to limit the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] For example 1, please refer to Figures 1 to 14The present invention provides a technical solution: a powder metallurgy brake disc, comprising a powder metallurgy brake disc 1, the powder metallurgy brake disc 1 comprising a disc body 11, a disc body 2 12 and an assembly seat 13, a heat dissipation ring groove 2 is provided between the disc body 11 and the assembly seat 13, heat discharge grooves 21 and heat dissipation columns 22 are evenly distributed between the disc body 11 and the disc body 2 12, the heat discharge grooves 21 and the heat dissipation columns 22 are spaced apart, a reinforcement ring 3 is provided on the side of the assembly seat 13 close to the disc body 11, and arc grooves 221 are provided on both sides of the heat dissipation columns 22; in this embodiment, the disc body 11, the disc body 2 12 and the assembly seat 13 are an integrated brake disc, compared with the traditional brake disc, the disc body 11 and the disc body 2 12 are connected by bolts, and the integrated design reduces the disc body 11, the disc body 2 1 2, reduces the risk caused by loose bolts or connection failure, makes the overall structure stronger, can better withstand high loads and impact forces, and improves the stability and safety of the vehicle during driving. The design of the heat dissipation ring groove 2 increases the heat dissipation area, so that more heat can be dissipated through surface conduction and radiation. The ring groove structure can guide the air to flow along a specific path, accelerating the dissipation of heat, especially when driving at high speeds. The airflow through the ring groove can take away more heat, and the heat is dissipated in time when the brake disc rubs to avoid local heat accumulation. The heat dissipation column 22 not only serves to tightly connect the disc body 11 and the disc body 2 12 into one, but is also evenly distributed between the disc body 11 and the disc body 2 12. The heat dissipation column 22 separates the heat discharge groove 21. Further expanding the heat dissipation area ensures unimpeded air circulation and improves heat dissipation efficiency. The heat discharge groove 21 not only provides an additional heat dissipation path, but also optimizes the air exchange between the inside and outside of the brake disc, promotes the rapid dissipation of heat so that the heat can be more evenly distributed in the entire structure, avoiding local overheating. The arc groove 221 not only increases and optimizes the thermal conductivity of the heat dissipation column 22, but also facilitates demoulding. The cross-section of the assembly seat 13 is trapezoidal.

[0035] For example 2, please refer to Figures 1 to 14On the basis of Example 1, this embodiment further proposes a powder metallurgy brake disc production process, comprising the following steps: Step 1: uniformly mixing various metal powders and additives in proportion, granulating the mixed powders by a spray drying method to prepare a granular material, wherein the granular material has a size between 50 microns and 100 microns; the specific proportions of the various powders are: 4% graphite, 6% copper powder, 3% nickel powder, 3% molybdenum powder, 2% tungsten powder, 0.5% zinc stearate, 0.3% polyvinyl alcohol, 0.2% phenolic resin, 1% sintering aid, and the remainder is iron; Step 2: designing a special brake disc mold according to the required size and shape of the brake disc, loading the prepared mixed particles into the mold, and cold pressing under high pressure to obtain a preliminary shape of the brake disc blank, the pressure being 800 MPa, pressing time is 20 seconds; Step 3: Sintering treatment, pre-sintering the cold pressed green body at a relatively low temperature to remove residual organic matter and achieve preliminary densification, the pre-sintering temperature is set between 300 ° C and 600 ° C, the pre-sintering time is 3 hours, the pre-sintered green body should be naturally cooled to below 100 ° C at room temperature, and then the pre-sintered green body is finally sintered in a high-temperature furnace to allow diffusion bonding between the powder particles to form a dense metal matrix, the final sintering temperature is usually between 1100 ° C and 1300 ° C, and the sintering time is 1.5 hours, and finally take out the metal matrix and naturally cool it to 850°C to 950°C at room temperature; Step 4: Post-treatment, first quenching and then tempering heat treatment process, the quenching temperature is 1200°C to 1300°C, after quenching for 5 minutes, quickly immerse in oil medium and quickly cool to room temperature, then temper, the tempering temperature is 350°C to 500°C, keep warm for 1 hour and naturally cool to room temperature; finally, according to production requirements, the brake disc is cleaned and finely ground to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface finish; in this embodiment, compared with the traditional raw material ratio for the preparation of powder brake discs, the powder brake disc production process proposed in this embodiment firstly mixes the powder evenly to prepare it into particles with a size of 5 Particles between 0 microns and 100 microns are then pressed, which not only improves the powder fluidity, formability and sintering properties, but also adds auxiliary ingredients such as lubricants, binders and sintering aids. Particles between 50 microns and 100 microns are in a relatively ideal range. They are neither too fine to agglomerate nor too large to cause uneven filling. Within this particle size range, the friction between particles is moderate, reducing the possibility of mutual adhesion, allowing the powder to flow more smoothly. The particle distribution can be controlled for uniform filling, which helps to achieve more uniform mold filling, reduce local density differences, thereby improving the dimensional accuracy and shape integrity of the final product and facilitating cold pressing. Adding lubricants can reduce the coefficient of friction. Graphite and zinc stearate, for example, can form a thin protective film on the particle surface, reducing the inter-particle friction coefficient and further improving powder fluidity. They can also effectively prevent powder from adhering to the mold's inner wall, ensuring smooth demolding. Binders can improve inter-particle bonding. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and phenolic resins, for example, can provide temporary adhesion between powder particles, enhancing the powder's integrity during the pressing process, preventing loosening or delamination and increasing green body strength. After pressing, the binder-containing green body has higher mechanical strength, facilitating subsequent handling and minimizing the risk of damage. Sintering aids, such as magnesium oxide and aluminum oxide, can lower sintering temperatures by promoting liquid phase formation or altering grain boundary behavior, reducing energy consumption and shortening production cycles. They can also promote densification. Glass powder and boric acid, for example, can promote contact and bonding between powder particles, increasing the material's density and, in turn, enhancing the mechanical properties of the finished product.
