Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of friction materials, and particularly relates to a long-service-life composite friction material with three matrix synergistic optimization and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of railway heavy-haul transportation, the performance requirements of friction materials in the braking system are increasingly improved. Railway heavy-haul freight cars need to maintain stable braking performance under high load and frequent braking conditions. However, most existing friction materials adopt a double-matrix structure formed by thermosetting resin and rubber. Although this material combines the high strength of thermosetting resin and the elasticity of rubber to some extent, it still has obvious deficiencies in high-temperature resistance. Under high-temperature, high-load and frequent braking conditions, the double-matrix material is prone to thermal degradation, with unstable friction coefficient, accelerated wear and shortened service life. These problems not only seriously affect the safety and reliability of the braking system, but also lead to a high wear rate. High wear rate requires frequent replacement of brake shoes, which not only increases maintenance costs, but also brings many inconveniences to railway operation. Frequent replacement of brake shoes requires a large amount of manpower, material resources and time, and may also lead to an increase in train downtime, affecting the efficiency and economic benefits of railway transportation. Therefore, developing a new type of friction material that can maintain stable performance and has a low wear rate under high-temperature and high-load conditions is of great significance to improving the overall performance of the braking system of railway heavy-haul freight cars and reducing operating costs.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN114957867A discloses "A friction body composition for synthetic brake shoe of heavy truck and a synthetic brake shoe of heavy truck prepared by the composition", which uses ternary ethylene-propylene rubber copolymer blend as the matrix, zinc oxide, stearic acid, 4,4'-dithiodimorpholine (DTDM), hollow ceramic microspheres, dipentaerythritol and hydrotalcite as inorganic fillers and reinforcing bodies of friction material, and adopts mixing, banburying, vulcanization and other processes to prepare the brake shoe material. Although the friction coefficient of the brake shoe material prepared by the invention is reduced at high and low braking speeds, the friction stability at high and low braking speeds is improved, but the service life of the brake shoe is 16.9-18.2 million kilometers, corresponding to 5-7 months of use time, which is still lower than the industry leading level. Chinese patent application CN102191015A discloses a "hybrid fiber reinforced friction material for train braking and a preparation method thereof", which provides a friction material for train braking with excellent quality and can avoid heat recession and thermal cracking, and a preparation method thereof. The friction material is prepared by mixing, molding and heat treatment, etc. by using modified phenolic resin and rubber as the matrix, hybrid fiber as the reinforcing body, and graphite, mica, carbon black, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, cuprous oxide, barium oxide, wollastonite, silicon dioxide, etc. as the friction modifier. Although the invention overcomes the heat recession problem of traditional phenolic resin matrix friction material, the wear rate is 0.57-0.69 cm 3 / MJ, which is difficult to meet the long-life application requirements of train brake shoes.

[0004] At present, most of the existing brake shoe friction materials on the market are prepared by different raw materials and proportions, and their performance can only meet the use requirements of ordinary railway freight cars. However, under high temperature conditions, the friction coefficient of these materials is generally low and fluctuates greatly, the wear rate increases significantly, and the compressive strength is also not ideal. These defects make it difficult for existing brake shoe friction materials to adapt to the higher requirements of high-speed heavy-load railway freight cars on braking performance. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of brake shoe friction material with high strength and excellent high-temperature friction and wear performance, and to explore a corresponding efficient preparation method to meet the braking requirements of high-speed heavy-load railway freight cars and ensure the safety and efficiency of railway transportation.

[0014] The application further discloses a long-service-life composite friction material with three matrixes synergistically optimized, which is prepared by the preparation method of the long-service-life composite friction material with three matrixes synergistically optimized. 3 / MJ.

[0015] The application further discloses an application of the long-service-life composite friction material with three matrixes synergistically optimized in a railway heavy-load freight car.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects: The application discloses a preparation method of a long-service-life composite friction material with three matrixes synergistically optimized, which is prepared from a ternary system of a matrix, inorganic fillers and a fiber reinforced phase through mixing, heat-pressing curing and two-stage heat treatment. The matrix provides adhesion, the inorganic fillers adjust the friction coefficient, and the fiber reinforced phase improves the mechanical strength, so that the three matrixes synergistically improve the comprehensive performance of the material. The low-temperature stage promotes the preliminary curing of the resin, the high-temperature stage eliminates internal stress, optimizes the microstructure, and improves the thermal stability and durability of the material. In brake shoe friction materials, although the addition of a proper amount of thermosetting resin and rubber as the matrix can make the adhesion strength of the material reach a moderate level, the thermosetting resin and rubber are prone to decomposition under high-temperature conditions, which leads to a significant decrease in the performance of the material, such as weakened adhesion strength and reduced wear resistance, and even harmful gases may be generated, thereby affecting the braking effect and safety. To solve this problem, the introduction of inorganic adhesives as the matrix material is an effective improvement measure. The inorganic adhesives have a unique secondary adhesion effect under high-temperature environments, which can effectively compensate for the problem of a significant increase in the wear rate caused by the softening and decomposition of the thermosetting resin and rubber under high temperatures, thereby significantly prolonging the service life of the brake shoe and improving the overall performance of the brake shoe friction material, including the strength, thermal stability and friction stability. The optimized long-service-life friction material with three matrixes synergistically enhanced has a volume wear rate of 0.015-0.072 cm 3The compression strength is 135-202 MPa, increased by 42%-260%, and the compression modulus is 2307-3151 MPa, increased by 68%-289%. The friction coefficient at 200-350℃ is 0.40-0.62. The problems of high wear rate, low compression strength, and low and unstable friction coefficient at high temperature of the existing brake shoe are significantly improved, and the safety and service life of the braking system are improved to adapt to the harsh working environment of high-speed and heavy-load railway freight cars. By introducing inorganic binder as the matrix, the high-temperature bonding performance of the brake shoe friction material is enhanced, and by reasonably adjusting the types and proportions of raw materials, the problems of high wear rate, low compression strength, and low and unstable friction coefficient at high temperature of the existing brake shoe are improved. The brake shoe friction material has the advantages of high and stable friction coefficient at high temperature, good compression resistance, and low wear rate at high temperature, and meets the harsh requirements of long service life of railway freight cars.

[0017] Further, the long-life composite friction material optimized by the synergistic effect of the three matrices includes, in mass percentage, 15%-30% of the matrix, 40%-60% of the inorganic filler, and 10%-30% of the fiber reinforced phase. The high proportion of inorganic filler provides a stable friction coefficient and reduces wear at high temperature; the fiber reinforced phase forms a skeleton structure to prevent material cracking and improve impact resistance.

[0018] Further, the matrix includes, in mass percentage, 11%-26% of thermosetting resin, 2%-8% of rubber, and 2%-8% of inorganic binder. By accurately adjusting the composition ratio of thermosetting resin, rubber, and inorganic binder, the synergistic effect among the three can be achieved. The thermosetting resin provides high-temperature bonding force to ensure that the material does not fall off; the rubber improves the toughness of the material and reduces crack propagation during friction; the inorganic binder improves the thermal stability of the material above 350℃ to prevent decomposition of the matrix.

[0019] Further, the thermosetting resin includes one or more of cashew shell oil modified phenolic resin, boron modified phenolic resin, bisphenol A type epoxy resin, polyimide resin, benzoxazine resin, unsaturated polyester resin, bismaleimide resin, cyanate ester resin, phenolic epoxy resin, and melamine formaldehyde resin. By selecting these different types of thermosetting resins, the performance of the brake shoe friction material can be adjusted according to specific application requirements, such as wear resistance, heat resistance, and mechanical strength.

[0020] Further, the rubber includes one or more of silicone rubber, nitrile rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, butadiene rubber, fluororubber, black rubber powder, natural rubber, chloroprene rubber, ethylene propylene diene rubber, cis-butadiene rubber, and butyl rubber. By selecting these different types of rubber, the elasticity, wear resistance, and friction performance of the brake shoe friction material can be optimized to adapt to different working conditions.

[0021] Further, the inorganic binder includes one or more of alumina-based high-temperature binder, phosphate high-temperature binder, borate high-temperature binder, silicate high-temperature binder, aluminum hydroxide-based high-temperature binder, and zirconia-based high-temperature binder; by selecting different types of inorganic binders, the high-temperature wear resistance, friction coefficient stability, and high-temperature mechanical properties of the brake shoe can be optimized to adapt to the use of the brake shoe under high-temperature conditions.

[0022] Further, the inorganic filler includes one or more of corundum, barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, zinc oxide, graphite, carbon black, chromite, fluorite, and sublimed sulfur; wherein the mass fraction of SiO2 in the fluorite is 10% to 15%. The graphite provides self-lubricity to reduce the low-temperature friction coefficient; the corundum and zinc oxide improve wear resistance and inhibit high-temperature wear.

[0023] Further, the fiber reinforced phase includes one or more of polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber, pitch-based carbon fiber, aramid fiber, calcium sulfate whisker, mineral fiber, basalt fiber, glass fiber, and steel fiber. The carbon fiber can improve strength and electrical conductivity to prevent static electricity accumulation; the steel fiber enhances impact resistance to adapt to high load impact of heavy-duty trucks.

[0024] Further, the high-speed shearing force uniformly disperses the filler and the fiber to avoid agglomeration and improve material homogeneity; short-time mixing reduces mechanical shear damage to the fiber, and the premixing process ensures that the fiber forms a uniform network structure in the matrix.

[0025] Further, the medium-temperature high-pressure condition promotes complete crosslinking of the resin to form a dense network structure and improve compressive strength; the interval degassing eliminates air introduced during the mixing process and small molecules generated during resin curing, reduces internal pores of the material, and improves shear strength.

[0026] Further, slow curing at a low temperature reduces internal stress, further crosslinking at a high temperature improves heat resistance, high-temperature treatment promotes interfacial reaction between the inorganic binder and the resin to form an interpenetrating network structure and reduce volume wear rate. The three-matrix synergistically optimized long-life friction material can maintain a stable friction coefficient of 0.40 to 0.62 in the temperature range of 200 to 350°C, which can ensure sufficient braking force, thereby effectively shortening the braking distance and enhancing the response capability of the train in an emergency braking situation, significantly improving the driving safety and reliability. At the same time, the stable friction coefficient helps to reduce the instability of braking caused by insufficient or fluctuating braking force, further ensuring the smooth operation of the braking system, especially under complex working conditions such as high temperature and heavy load, which can better demonstrate its advantages.

[0027] The application also discloses a three-matrix synergistically optimized long-life friction material prepared by the preparation method, which has a volume wear rate of 0.015 to 0.072 cm3 / g in the temperature range of 200 to 350°C.3 The lower wear rate indicates that the material has excellent wear resistance, can maintain a long service life under high temperature working conditions, and significantly reduces the replacement frequency and maintenance cost of the brake shoe. At the same time, the lower wear rate also means that the material has better dimensional stability during use, can maintain stable braking performance, and further guarantees the reliability and safety of the braking system.

[0028] The application also discloses application of the three-matrix synergistically optimized long-life composite friction material prepared by the preparation method in a heavy load freight train, the high compression strength (135-202 MPa) and the shear strength (12.4-18.7 MPa) can withstand the high braking pressure and impact force of the heavy load freight train; the replacement frequency of the friction plate is reduced, the dust emission is reduced, and the environmental protection and cost control requirements of railway transportation are met.

[0096] In order to verify the effect of the present application, the compression performance, shear performance and friction and wear performance tests are carried out to compare the performance of the three-matrix synergistically enhanced long-life friction material prepared in the examples with the double-matrix friction material prepared in the comparative examples.

[0097] Figure 1 The room temperature mechanical properties of the three-matrix synergistically optimized long-life composite friction materials prepared in Examples 1-9 and the double-matrix friction materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-2 are shown in (a) and (b). (a) is a graph of compression strength and compression modulus, and (b) is a graph of shear strength. The compression strength and compression modulus of the examples and the comparative examples are shown in the (a) graph. The compression strength of the comparative examples is 56-95 MPa, while the compression strength of the examples is significantly improved to 135-202 MPa, with an improvement of 42%-260%. This shows that the examples significantly improve the compression resistance of the friction material at room temperature. In addition, the compression modulus of the comparative examples is 810-1372 MPa, while the compression modulus of the examples is 2307-3151 MPa, with an improvement of 68%-289%. This shows that the examples also perform well in improving the rigidity of the material, further optimizing the mechanical properties of the friction material. The significant improvement in strength and rigidity of the examples shows that they can better withstand complex mechanical environments in practical applications, reducing deformation and damage caused by external forces and greatly extending the service life of the friction material. The shear strength of the examples and the comparative examples is shown in the (b) graph. The shear strength of the examples is 12.4-18.7 MPa, and the shear strength of the comparative examples is 5.4-11.5 MPa. It can be seen that the shear strength of the examples is higher than that of the comparative examples, with an improvement of 8%-346%. This shows that the material of the examples has significantly improved shear performance, which can better resist shear force and thus improve the structural stability and service life of the brake shoe.

(a) is the volume wear rate at 200°C; (b) is the volume wear rate at 250°C; (c) is the volume wear rate at 300°C; (d) is the volume wear rate at 350°C. It can be seen from the graph that the volume wear rate of the examples does not change significantly with temperature, while the volume wear rate of the comparative examples increases significantly with temperature. The volume wear of the examples at 200-350°C is 0.015-0.072 cm3 The compression strength of the comparative example is 0.245-0.469 cm 3 The wear rate is much lower than that of the comparative example, reduced by 71%-186%. The high-temperature wear resistance of the friction material is significantly enhanced, the problem of high wear rate of the brake shoe at high temperature is improved, and the service life of the brake shoe is improved.

[0100] Table 2 Comparison of the friction coefficient of the three-matrix synergistically optimized long-life composite friction material prepared in Examples 1-9 and the double-matrix friction material prepared in Comparative Examples 1-2 at 200-350°C

[0101] Table 1 is a comparison of the mass percentage of each component of the 30% matrix selected in Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-2. It can be seen that under the condition that the matrix components account for 30% of the total composition of the friction material, the matrix used in Examples 1-9 is added with an inorganic binder as a matrix synergistic phase, which is expected to effectively enhance the high-temperature bonding performance of the friction material. Table 2 is a comparison of the friction coefficient of the three-matrix synergistically optimized long-life composite friction material prepared in Examples 1-9 and the double-matrix friction material prepared in Comparative Examples 1-2 at 200-350°C. The average friction coefficient of the three-matrix synergistically optimized long-life composite friction material prepared in Examples 1-9 at 200-350°C is 0.40-0.62, and the average friction coefficient of the comparative example at 200-350°C is 0.36-0.48. It can be seen that the average friction coefficient of the example is higher than that of the comparative example, increased by 2%-61%. The larger friction coefficient can significantly improve the braking effect and braking force of the brake shoe, thereby improving the braking performance and safety of the vehicle. In practical application, this means that the vehicle can complete braking in a shorter distance, especially when driving at high speed or emergency braking, which can effectively reduce the braking distance and reduce the risk of accidents. At the same time, the higher friction coefficient can also ensure the stable braking performance of the brake shoe in high-temperature environment, avoiding the decrease of friction coefficient due to temperature rise, thereby further enhancing the braking reliability of the vehicle under complex working conditions. This is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of the vehicle.

[0102] In summary, the long-life composite friction material with three matrix synergistic optimization, preparation method and application of the application, by using thermosetting resin, rubber and inorganic adhesive composition of three matrix and inorganic filler, fiber reinforced phase synergistic system, combined with specific mixing, hot pressing curing and two stage heat treatment process, the three matrix synergistic optimization of long-life composite friction material has excellent mechanical properties and friction stability, its shear strength is 12.4~18.7 MPa, the compression strength is 135~202 MPa, the friction coefficient is stable at 0.40~0.62 at 200~350℃, the volume wear rate is as low as 0.015~0.072 cm 3 / MJ, not only through the synergistic effect of multiple components to enhance the impact resistance and high temperature resistance of the material, but also to optimize the microstructure by means of gradient process, effectively improve the durability of the material in high frequency braking scene of railway heavy haul vehicle, reduce the wear and tear and maintenance cost, realize the synergistic optimization of mechanical properties, friction performance and long life. By increasing the inorganic adhesive as the matrix of the composite friction material, the thermal decomposition of thermosetting resin and rubber matrix at high temperature is effectively slowed down, and the performance advantages of thermosetting resin and rubber matrix are synergized, which significantly improves the friction coefficient and enhances the mechanical properties. This makes the brake performance of the brake shoe more stable in high temperature environment, greatly prolongs the service life, significantly improves the reliability and durability of the brake shoe, and provides a strong guarantee for the safe operation of the vehicle.
