Description

[0001] The present application is a divisional application, the original application number is 202410978839.6, the original application date is July 19, 2024, and the entire contents of the original application are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

However, the existing brake disc has poor thermal stability, low friction coefficient, and poor thermal decay resistance. In particular, during the braking process of the automobile, the surface temperature of the brake disc will rise sharply, and the carbon fibers or matrix carbon exposed on the surface of the carbon ceramic matrix are prone to oxidation under high temperature conditions, and if the heat dissipation is poor, thermal decay is prone to occur, which prolongs the braking distance and reduces the safety factor.

At present, the friction layer of the carbon ceramic disc is prepared by slurry method, and silicon carbide ceramic layer is generated by pyrolysis or silicon infiltration. The ceramic layer generated by this method is a block, and the heat dissipation direction is relatively dispersed, which causes the heat generated by the disc surface braking to be unable to be conducted to the matrix direction, thereby causing thermal decay.

[0161] Example Loss on ignition (%) Example 1 1.0 Example 2 1.5 Example 3 3.0 Example 4 6.0 Example 5 5.0 Example 6 7.0 Comparative Example 1 10.0 Comparative Example 2 3.0 Comparative Example 3 8.0

[0162] From the data in Table 4 above, it can be seen that:

[0163] The carbon ceramic composite material obtained in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 has a higher weight loss rate because the oxygen in the air enters the interior of the carbon ceramic disc matrix without the protection of the friction layer, causing the carbon fibers or matrix carbon to be oxidized.

[0164] Comparing Example 1-3 with Example 4, Example 4 has a high weight loss rate because the silicon infiltration reaction is not sufficient, and part of the carbon fibers in the friction layer are not completely reacted, causing oxidation at 700℃ in air. In Example 1-3, the amount of silicon powder added is larger, and the silicon infiltration is sufficient, so the composite material is not easily oxidized, and the weight loss rate is lower.

[0165] Comparing Example 5 with Example 6, Example 5 is prepared according to the optimized process conditions provided by the present disclosure, and the carbon ceramic composite material obtained in Example 5 has a lower weight loss rate and better oxidation resistance. Comparing Example 1 with Example 5, Example 1 is prepared according to more preferred process conditions, and the carbon ceramic composite material obtained in Example 1 has a lower weight loss rate and better oxidation resistance.

[0167] This test example is used to illustrate the thermal conductivity of the composite material.

[0168] A thermal constant tester was used to test the thermal conductivity of the carbon ceramic brake disc in the thickness direction of the carbon ceramic disc according to standard GJB1201.1, and the test temperature was 800℃. The test results are shown in Table 5 below.

[0171] From the data in Table 5 above, and in combination with the data in Tables 1-1-1-2 and 2, it can be seen that:

[0172] Comparing the examples 1-6 with the comparative examples 1 and 3, the carbon ceramic composite materials obtained from the comparative examples 1 and 3 do not have a friction layer or whiskers, and have a lower thermal conductivity and a poorer thermal conductivity performance; the carbon ceramic composite materials in the examples 1-6 introduce a friction layer, and the carbon ceramic composite materials in the examples 1-6 have a thermal conductivity performance obviously superior to the carbon ceramic discs of the comparative examples 1 and 3, and the SiC whiskers in the friction layer of the carbon ceramic composite materials in the examples 1-6 can form vertical heat conduction channels, and the carbon ceramic composite materials in the examples 1-6 also have a thermal conductivity performance obviously superior to the traditional carbon ceramic discs.

[0173] Comparing the examples 1 and 4 with the examples 2-3, the volume fractions of the SiC whiskers in the ranges of 0-15°, 15-30° and 30-90° in the carbon ceramic composite materials obtained from the examples 1 and 4 are within the optimized content range provided in the present disclosure, while the volume fractions of the SiC whiskers in the different growth angle ranges in the carbon ceramic composite materials obtained from the examples 2-3 are not within the optimized range, and compared with the carbon ceramic composite materials obtained from the examples 2-3, the carbon ceramic composite materials in the examples 1 and 4 have a higher thermal conductivity and a better thermal conductivity performance.

[0174] Comparing the example 5 with the example 6, the example 5 prepares the carbon ceramic composite material according to the optimized process conditions provided in the present disclosure, the volume fractions of the SiC whiskers in the ranges of 0-15°, 15-30° and 30-90° in the carbon ceramic composite material obtained from the example 5 are within the optimized content range provided in the present disclosure, while the volume fractions of the SiC whiskers in the different growth angle ranges in the carbon ceramic composite material obtained from the example 6 are not within the optimized range, and the carbon ceramic composite material obtained from the example 5 has a higher thermal conductivity and a better thermal conductivity performance; further comparing the example 1 with the example 5, the example 1 prepares the carbon ceramic composite material according to the more preferred process conditions, the volume fractions of the SiC whiskers in the ranges of 0-15°, 15-30° and 30-90° in the carbon ceramic composite material obtained from the example 1 are within the further preferred content range provided in the present disclosure, and the carbon ceramic composite material obtained from the example 1 has a better thermal conductivity performance.
