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.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, in the second intermediate obtained in step S3, the SiC whiskers grow from the slotted bottom in a direction away from the slotted bottom; the volume fraction of the SiC whiskers is 5-15% by volume based on the total volume of the deposited substance in the slot; wherein the angle between the length direction of the SiC whiskers and the depth direction of the slot is taken as the growth angle of the SiC whiskers, and the volume fraction of the SiC whiskers with a growth angle of 0°-15° is 3-10% by volume, preferably 5-10% by volume; the volume fraction of the SiC whiskers with a growth angle of 15°-30° is 1-3% by volume, preferably 2-3% by volume; the volume fraction of the SiC whiskers with a growth angle of 30°-90° is 1-2% by volume, preferably 1.5-2% by volume. When the volume fraction of the SiC whiskers in each growth angle range is within the range of this embodiment, especially within the preferred range, the friction layer obtained by the present disclosure is more concentrated in the heat conduction direction, and has a higher thermal conductivity in the thickness direction. The SiC whiskers with a growth angle of 15° are included in the range of 0°-15°, and the SiC whiskers with a growth angle of 30° are included in the range of 15°-30°. In the present disclosure, the growth angle and volume fraction of the SiC whiskers in the friction layer of the carbon-ceramic composite product prepared are substantially the same as the data of the growth angle and volume fraction of the SiC whiskers in the deposited substance obtained in the slot during the SiC vapor deposition process in the preparation process, and the growth angle and volume fraction of the SiC whiskers in the second intermediate in step S3 are taken as the growth angle and volume fraction of the SiC whiskers in the final product.

[0064] In one specific embodiment, the diameter of the single SiC whisker is 100-600 nm, and the length is 5-50 μm.

The volume fraction and structural performance of the SiC whisker with different growth angles provided by the embodiment can achieve a more optimal heat transfer effect, and improve the thermal conductivity of the carbon ceramic composite material in the thickness direction. The growth angle, volume fraction, length, and diameter of the SiC whisker are obtained according to the electron microscope photograph.

[0066] In one embodiment, step S4 comprises: In the second intermediate body, silicon powder is arranged on the upper surface and the lower surface, and is placed in a silicon infiltration furnace for silicon infiltration treatment. The present disclosure forms silicon carbide by melting and infiltrating silicon in the densification preform and the carbon in the second carbon fiber preform, to obtain a carbon ceramic composite material. After the silicon infiltration, each part (for example, between the preform and the second carbon fiber preform, and between the carbon fiber filaments and the SiC whiskers in the second carbon fiber preform, etc.) is combined to form an integral structure, thereby improving the bonding force between the matrix and the friction layer in the composite material.

According to the preferred conditions in the embodiment, a carbon ceramic composite material with better performance can be obtained.

[0068] In one specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The method for preparing the carbon ceramic composite material comprises the following steps: (1) Carbon fiber unidirectional cloth is alternately laid in the directions of 0° / 45° / 90° / 135° with a web tire, a green body is obtained by using a step pin, and a first carbon fiber preform is obtained by cutting with a mold knife.

[0071] (4) After the carbon fiber unidirectional cloth is laid in the same direction, it is then immersed in resin, taken out and cured under pressure.

[0072] (5) The cured carbon fiber unidirectional fabric laminate obtained in step (4) is cut along the fiber axis using a cutting machine. Then the cut laminate (i.e. the second carbon fiber preform) is placed vertically along the fiber axis and cut into corresponding annular sheets according to the size of the matrix disk. Then resin is applied to the bottom of the matrix disk groove and the annular sheets are embedded into the matrix disk groove for curing.

[0073] (6) Then it is placed in a vapor deposition furnace. During the heating process, the glue is removed first, and then the deposition gas source and dilution gas are continuously introduced to carry out the second chemical vapor deposition treatment to obtain a friction layer blank disk containing SiC whiskers.

[0074] (7) Then place the friction layer blank in a graphite crucible, spread silicon powder on the top and bottom of the blank, and put it into a silicon infiltration furnace for silicon infiltration treatment to finally obtain a carbon ceramic plate.

[0075] This disclosure provides a third aspect of a carbon-ceramic composite material as described in the second aspect of this disclosure.

[0076] This disclosure provides a fourth aspect of a brake disc, comprising the carbon-ceramic composite material described in the first or third aspect of this disclosure.

[0077] The fifth aspect of this disclosure provides a vehicle that includes the brake disc described in the fourth aspect of this disclosure.

[0078] The present disclosure is further described in detail below through examples. All raw materials used in the examples are commercially available.

[0079] Example 1 (1) T700-6K carbon fiber unidirectional fabric is alternately laid with the mesh in the directions of 0° / 45° / 90° / 135° (based on the mesh), and then a preform is obtained by step-by-step needle punching. The preform (first carbon fiber preform) is then cut with a die cutter. The overall density of the preform is 0.4 g / cm³. 3 .

Methane gas was introduced at a flow rate of 35 L / min, the deposition temperature was 1100℃, the deposition pressure was 3 kPa, and the deposition time was 400 h to densify the substrate. After 400 h of deposition, a carbon-carbon disk (densified preform) was obtained. The overall density of the carbon-carbon disk was 1.4 g / cm³. 3 The thickness is 32mm.

[0081] (3) The deposited densified body is machined. According to the hole size requirements of the brake disc, bolt holes and positioning holes are machined on the surface, and cooling channels are milled on the outer ring. Then, the disc surface is grooved (grooving is done on both surfaces). The groove width is 115mm and the groove depth is 2.5mm to obtain the base disc.

[0083] (5) The cured carbon fiber unidirectional fabric laminate obtained in step (4) is cut along the fiber axis using a cutting machine. The cutting length is 3mm. Then the cut laminate is laid flat, that is, placed vertically along the fiber axis. Then it is cut into corresponding circular sheet according to the size of the matrix disk. Then resin is applied to the bottom of the matrix disk groove. The circular sheet is embedded in the matrix disk groove and cured at 200℃ for 3h (first intermediate).

[0084] (6) The disk is placed in a chemical vapor deposition furnace. During the heating process, the adhesive is removed first, and then trichloromethylsilane and hydrogen are continuously introduced for the second chemical vapor deposition treatment. The flow rate of trichloromethylsilane is 600 mL / min, and the flow rate ratio of trichloromethylsilane to hydrogen is 1:1.3. The furnace pressure is controlled at 800 Pa. Chemical vapor deposition is carried out at 1000℃ for 6 h to obtain a friction layer blank disk containing SiC whiskers (second intermediate). Based on the total volume of the material deposited in the trench, the volume of silicon carbide whiskers in the trench is determined. The fraction is 10% by volume, based on the total volume of material deposited in the trench. The volume percentage of SiC whiskers with growth angles of 30-90° is 2% by volume, with a diameter of 200-250nm and a length of 6-8μm; the volume percentage of SiC whiskers with growth angles of 15°-30° is 3% by volume, with a diameter of 300-400nm and a length of 10-16μm; and the volume percentage of SiC whiskers with growth angles of 0°-15° is 5% by volume, with a diameter of 300-400nm and a length of 20-40μm.

The carbon ceramic disk composition and content were as follows: based on the total volume of the carbon ceramic disk, silicon carbide accounted for 62% by volume, carbon for 35% by volume, and silicon for 3% by volume. Furthermore, the growth angle and volume percentage of SiC whiskers in the friction layer of the carbon-ceramic composite material product prepared in this disclosure are approximately the same as those of SiC whiskers obtained in the trench during the SiC vapor deposition process. Specifically, in the friction layer of the carbon-ceramic composite material obtained in this embodiment, based on the total volume of the friction layer, the volume percentage of SiC whiskers with a growth angle of 0°-15° was 5% by volume, the volume percentage of SiC whiskers with a growth angle of 15°-30° was 3% by volume, and the volume percentage of SiC whiskers with a growth angle of 30°-90° was 2% by volume. In the carbon-ceramic composite material obtained in this embodiment, the thickness of the friction layer is 2.5 mm, and the ring width of the friction layer is 115 mm.

[0087] Example 2 This embodiment refers to the preparation method in Example 1, but differs from Example 1 in that: In step (4), 900 layers of T700-6K carbon fiber unidirectional cloth are laid in the same direction; in the friction layer blank disk (second intermediate) containing SiC whiskers obtained in step (6), based on the total volume of the friction layer (or based on the total volume of the material deposited in the groove), the volume fraction of silicon carbide whiskers in the friction layer (or the deposit in the groove) is 5% by volume. The volume fraction and whisker size of SiC whiskers in different growth angle ranges are listed in Table 1-1 and Table 1-2.

[0088] In step (7), the friction layer blank is placed in a graphite crucible, and 150-mesh silicon powder is selected. The weight ratio of silicon powder to blank is 5:1. The rest of the process is the same as in Example 1.

The weight ratio of silicon powder to blank is 1:1. The rest of the process is the same as in Example 1.

[0092] Example 5 (1) T700-6K carbon fiber unidirectional fabric is alternately laid with the mesh in the directions of 0° / 45° / 90° / 135° (based on the mesh), and then a blank is obtained by step-by-step needle punching. The preform is then cut with a die cutter. The overall density of the preform is 0.4 g / cm³. 3 .

[0093] (2) The preform was placed in a carbon-carbon deposition furnace for chemical vapor deposition. Methane gas was introduced at a flow rate of 50 L / min, the deposition temperature was 1300℃, the deposition pressure was 5 kPa, and the deposition time was 400 h to densify the substrate. After 400 h of deposition, a carbon-carbon disk was obtained with an overall density of 1.25 g / cm³. 3 .

[0094] (3) The deposited densified body is machined. According to the hole size requirements of the brake disc, bolt holes and positioning holes are machined on the surface, and cooling channels are milled on the outer ring. Then, grooves are made on the disc surface with a groove width of 115mm and a groove depth of 2.5mm to obtain the base disc.

[0095] (4) After laying 500 layers of T700-6K carbon fiber unidirectional fabric in the same direction, immerse it in phenolic resin for 180 min, remove it, apply 10 kg of pressure, and cure it at 150℃ for 2 h; the density of the laminate is 1.1 g / cm³. 3 The spacing is 9μm.

[0096] (5) Cut the cured carbon fiber unidirectional fabric laminate obtained in step (4) along the fiber axis using a cutting machine. The cutting length is 3mm. Then lay the cut laminate flat, that is, place it vertically along the fiber axis. Cut it into corresponding circular sheet according to the size of the matrix disk. Then apply resin to the bottom of the matrix disk groove and embed the circular sheet into the matrix disk groove and cure it at 200℃ for 3h.

[0097] (6) Place the disk in a chemical vapor deposition furnace. During the heating process, first remove the adhesive, then continuously introduce trichloromethylsilane and hydrogen. The flow rate of trichloromethylsilane is 250 mL / min, and the flow rate ratio of trichloromethylsilane to hydrogen is 1:2. Control the gas pressure in the furnace to 400 Pa. Perform chemical vapor deposition at 800℃ for 2 hours to obtain a friction layer blank disk containing SiC whiskers. Based on the total volume of the friction layer (or based on the total volume of the material deposited in the groove), the silicon carbide whiskers occupy the friction layer (or the groove) of the friction layer (or the groove). The volume fraction of SiC whiskers (with growth angles of 30-90°) is 8%, of which 2% are SiC whiskers with a diameter of 200-250 nm and a length of 6-8 μm, 2% are SiC whiskers with a growth angle of 15-30° with a diameter of 300-400 nm and a length of 10-16 μm, and 4% are SiC whiskers with a growth angle of 0-15° with a diameter of 300-400 nm and a length of 20-40 μm.

[0098] (7) Place the friction layer blank in a graphite crucible, select 150 mesh silicon powder, the weight ratio of silicon powder to blank is 3:1, spread the silicon powder evenly on the top and bottom of the blank, and put it into a silicon diffusion furnace for silicon diffusion treatment. The reaction temperature is 1900℃, the reaction time is 6h, and the reaction pressure is 2kPa.

[0099] Example 6 This embodiment prepares carbon-ceramic composite materials according to the process conditions in Example 1, but differs from Example 1 in that the preparation is carried out according to the following process conditions: (1) T700-6K carbon fiber unidirectional fabric is alternately laid with the mesh in the directions of 0° / 45° / 90° / 135° (based on the mesh), and then a blank is obtained by step-by-step needle punching. The preform is then cut with a die cutter. The overall density of the preform is 0.4 g / cm³. 3 .

[0100] (2) The preform was placed in a carbon-carbon deposition furnace for chemical vapor deposition. Methane gas was introduced at a flow rate of 9 L / min, the deposition temperature was 1000℃, the deposition pressure was 6 kPa, and the deposition time was 400 h to densify the substrate. After 400 h of deposition, a carbon-carbon disk was obtained with an overall density of 1.2 g / cm³. 3 .

[0101] (3) The deposited densified body is machined. According to the hole size requirements of the brake disc, bolt holes and positioning holes are machined on the surface, and cooling channels are milled on the outer ring. Then, grooves are made on the disc surface with a groove width of 115mm and a groove depth of 2.5mm to obtain the base disc.

[0102] (4) After laying 500 layers of T700-6K carbon fiber unidirectional fabric in the same direction, immerse it in phenolic resin for 120 min, remove it, apply 5 kg of pressure, and cure it at 120℃ for 2 h; the density of the laminate is 1.0 g / cm³. 3 The spacing is 12μm.

[0103] (5) Cut the cured carbon fiber unidirectional fabric laminate obtained in step (4) along the fiber axis using a cutting machine. The cutting length is 3mm. Then lay the cut laminate flat, that is, place it vertically along the fiber axis. Cut it into corresponding circular sheet according to the size of the matrix disk. Then apply resin to the bottom of the matrix disk groove and embed the circular sheet into the matrix disk groove and cure it at 200℃ for 3h.

[0104] (6) Place the disk in a chemical vapor deposition furnace. During the heating process, first remove the adhesive, then continuously introduce trichloromethylsilane and hydrogen. The flow rate of trichloromethylsilane is 200 mL / min, and the flow ratio of trichloromethylsilane to hydrogen is 1:2. Control the gas pressure in the furnace to 400 Pa. Perform chemical vapor deposition at 800℃ for 2 hours to obtain a friction layer blank disk containing SiC whiskers. Based on the total volume of the friction layer (or based on the total volume of the material deposited in the groove), the silicon carbide whiskers occupy the friction layer (or the groove) of the friction layer (or the groove). The volume fraction of SiC whiskers (in the middle sediment) is 6% by volume, of which the volume fraction of SiC whiskers with growth angles of 30-90° is 1% by volume, with a diameter of 200-250nm and a length of 6-8μm; the volume fraction of SiC whiskers with growth angles of 15-30° is 3% by volume, with a diameter of 300-400nm and a length of 10-16μm; and the volume fraction of SiC whiskers with growth angles of 0-15° is 2% by volume, with a diameter of 300-400nm and a length of 20-40μm.

[0105] (7) Place the friction layer blank in a graphite crucible, select 150 mesh silicon powder, the weight ratio of silicon powder to blank is 3:1, spread the silicon powder evenly on the top and bottom of the blank, and put it into a silicon diffusion furnace for silicon diffusion treatment. The reaction temperature is 1600℃, the reaction time is 4h, and the reaction pressure is 1kPa.

[0106] Comparative Example 1 This comparative example prepares a carbon-ceramic composite material according to the process conditions in Example 1. The difference from Example 1 is that no carbon fiber cloth laminate is set, and no SiC whisker deposition is performed. Only the densified preform obtained in step (2) is subjected to silicon infiltration treatment in step (7): 150 mesh silicon powder is selected, the weight ratio of silicon powder to preform disk is 3:1, and the silicon infiltration process conditions are the same as in Example 1. Compared with Example 1, the carbon-ceramic material obtained in this comparative example does not include a friction layer or SiC whiskers, and is only a conventional carbon-ceramic composite material.

[0107] Comparative Example 2 This comparative example prepares carbon-ceramic composite material according to the process conditions in Example 1. The difference from Example 1 is that: after setting the carbon fiber unidirectional fabric laminate in the groove in step (5), SiC whisker deposition in step (6) is not performed. Only the first intermediate obtained in step (5) is subjected to silicon infiltration treatment in step (7). The conditions for silicon infiltration treatment are the same as in Example 1. The product after silicon infiltration includes a carbon-ceramic matrix and a friction layer in the groove. However, the friction layer is only obtained by silicon infiltration of carbon fiber monofilaments and does not include SiC whiskers.

[0108] Comparative Example 3 This comparative example prepares carbon-ceramic composite material according to the process conditions in Example 1. The difference from Example 1 is that steps (4)-(5) are not performed. That is, the matrix disk obtained in step (3) does not have a carbon fiber unidirectional fabric laminate in the groove. SiC whisker deposition in step (6) is performed only in the groove to introduce SiC whiskers into the groove. The silicon infiltration treatment in step (7) is the same as in Example 1. The resulting carbon-ceramic material does not include the friction layer and includes SiC whiskers in the groove.

[0109] The number of unidirectional carbon fiber layers, the volume fraction of SiC whiskers in the deposits obtained after SiC vapor deposition, and the proportion of silicon powder in the silicon infiltration treatment in the above examples and comparative examples are listed in Table 1-1 below.

[0110] Table 1-1

[0111] In Table 1-1, the volume fraction of SiC whiskers is based on the total volume of the material deposited in the trench. A represents the volume percentage of SiC whiskers with a growth angle of 30-90°, B represents the volume percentage of SiC whiskers with a growth angle of 15-30°, and C represents the volume percentage of SiC whiskers with a growth angle of 0-15°.

[0112] The sizes of SiC whiskers with different growth angles in the deposits obtained from the above embodiments are listed in Table 1-2 below.

[0113] Table 1-2

[0114] The volume composition of the composite materials and the volume composition of the friction layer obtained in the above embodiments and comparative examples are listed in Table 2 below.

[0115] Table 2

[0116] In this disclosure, the growth angles and volume percentages of SiC whiskers with growth angles of 0°-15°, 15°-30°, and 30°-90° in the friction layer of the prepared carbon-ceramic composite material are roughly the same as the data on the growth angles and volume percentages of SiC whiskers in the deposits obtained in the trench during the SiC vapor deposition process listed in Tables 1-1 and 1-2 above, so they will not be repeated here.

[0117] Test Example 1 This test example illustrates the bonding force between the friction layer and the matrix in a composite material.

[0118] Based on the AK-Master bench performance testing standard, the brake disc was heated to 700°C by friction, then rapidly cooled to room temperature by compressed air. This performance test was repeated until the friction layer on the surface of the carbon-ceramic brake disc showed signs of peeling, at which point the test was stopped. The number of cycles that could be repeated under the high-temperature rapid cooling condition was used to evaluate the bonding strength between the Si / SiC composite ceramic layer and the carbon-ceramic substrate on the surface of the carbon-ceramic brake disc. The test results are listed in Table 3 below.

[0119] Table 3

[0120] Based on the above embodiments and comparative examples, and in conjunction with the data in Tables 1-1-1-2 and 2-3, it can be seen that: Comparing Examples 1-6 with Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 2 lacked SiC whiskers; the friction layer and matrix were bonded together solely by resin carbon in the carbon fiber unidirectional fabric laminate through molten silicon infiltration. The bonding force between the friction layer and matrix was weak, resulting in only 75 test cycles. In contrast, the carbon-ceramic disks prepared according to the method provided in Examples 1-6 contained SiC whiskers in the friction layer, leading to a higher number of test cycles for the carbon-ceramic disks in Examples 1-6. This indicates that the bonding force between the friction layer and matrix in the carbon-ceramic disks obtained in Examples 1-6 was significantly better than that in Comparative Example 2. The carbon-ceramic composite materials in Comparative Examples 1 and 3 did not include a friction layer, therefore the bonding force between the friction layer and matrix could not be tested.

[0121] Comparing Examples 1 and 2-3, in Example 1, a carbon-ceramic composite material was prepared according to the preferred number of fiber cloth layers, the preferred volume fraction of silicon carbide whiskers in the friction layer, and the preferred proportion of silicon powder. Based on the data in Table 1-1, it can be seen that the volume fractions of SiC whiskers at 0-15°, 15-30°, and 30-90° in the carbon-ceramic composite material prepared in Example 1 are within the optimized range provided in this application. In contrast, the volume fractions of SiC whiskers in the carbon-ceramic composite materials prepared in Examples 2-3 are not within the optimized range for different growth angles. Compared to the carbon-ceramic discs prepared in Examples 2-4, the carbon-ceramic disc in Example 1 has a higher number of test cycles, indicating that the friction layer of the carbon-ceramic disc in Example 1 has a higher bonding force with the matrix.

[0122] Comparing Example 5 with Example 6, Example 5 was prepared according to the optimized process conditions provided in this disclosure. The volume fractions of SiC whiskers at 0-15°, 15-30°, and 30-90° in the carbon-ceramic composite material obtained in Example 5 are within the optimized content range provided in this application. However, the volume fractions of SiC whiskers at different growth angles in the carbon-ceramic composite material obtained in Example 6 are not within the optimized range. The carbon-ceramic composite material obtained in Example 5 has a higher number of test cycles, that is, the bonding force between the friction layer of the carbon-ceramic disk and the matrix is ​​higher. Further comparing Example 1 with Example 5, Example 1 was prepared according to more preferred process conditions. The volume fractions of SiC whiskers at 0-15°, 15-30°, and 30-90° in the carbon-ceramic composite material obtained in Example 1 are within the further preferred content range provided in this application. The carbon-ceramic composite material obtained in Example 1 has a higher number of test cycles, that is, the bonding force between the friction layer of the carbon-ceramic disk and the matrix is ​​higher.

[0123] Test Example 2 This test example illustrates the antioxidant properties of composite materials in air.

[0124] A static air oxidation test was conducted on the carbon ceramic disc (placed in air at 700℃ for 12 hours). The weight change of the material before and after the test was measured, and the weight loss rate of the carbon ceramic disc was tested. The test results are listed in Table 4 below.

[0125] Table 4

[0126] The data in Table 4 above shows that: The carbon-ceramic composite materials obtained in Comparative Examples 1 and 3, due to the lack of a friction layer for protection, allow oxygen from the air to enter the interior of the carbon-ceramic disk matrix, leading to the oxidation of carbon fibers or matrix carbon and resulting in a high weight loss rate.

[0127] Comparing Examples 1-3 with Example 4, Example 4 had a high weight loss rate because the silicon infiltration reaction was insufficient and some carbon fibers in the friction layer did not react completely, resulting in oxidation in air at 700°C. In Examples 1-3, the amount of silicon powder added was greater, the silicon infiltration was sufficient, the composite material was not easily oxidized, and the weight loss rate was lower.

[0128] Comparing Example 5 with Example 6, Example 5 was prepared according to the optimized process conditions provided in this disclosure, and the carbon-ceramic composite material obtained in Example 5 had a lower weight loss rate and better oxidation resistance. Comparing Example 1 with Example 5, Example 1 was prepared according to more preferred process conditions, and the carbon-ceramic composite material obtained in Example 1 had a lower weight loss rate and better oxidation resistance.

[0129] Test Example 3 This test example illustrates the thermal conductivity of composite materials.

[0130] The thermal conductivity of the carbon ceramic brake disc in the thickness direction was tested using a thermal constant measuring instrument according to standard GJB1201.1 at a temperature of 800℃. The test results are listed in Table 5 below.

[0131] Table 5

[0132] Based on the data in Table 5 above, and combined with the data in Tables 1-1-1-2 and 2, it can be seen that: Comparing Examples 1-6 with Comparative Examples 1 and 3, the carbon-ceramic composite materials obtained in Comparative Examples 1 and 3 do not have a friction layer or whiskers, and their thermal conductivity is low and their thermal conductivity is poor. The carbon-ceramic composite materials in Examples 1-6 introduce a friction layer, and the thermal conductivity of the carbon-ceramic composite materials in Examples 1-6 is significantly better than that of the carbon-ceramic disks in Comparative Examples 1 and 3. Furthermore, SiC whiskers are also introduced into the friction layer of the carbon-ceramic composite materials in Examples 1-6. The SiC whiskers can form vertical heat conduction pathways, and the thermal conductivity of the carbon-ceramic composite materials in Examples 1-6 is also significantly higher than that of traditional carbon-ceramic disks.

[0133] Comparing Examples 1 and 4 with Examples 2-3, the volume fractions of SiC whiskers at 0-15°, 15-30°, and 30-90° in the carbon-ceramic composites obtained in Examples 1 and 4 are within the optimized content range provided in this application. However, the volume fractions of SiC whiskers in the carbon-ceramic composites prepared in Examples 2-3 are not within the optimized range for different growth angles. Compared with the carbon-ceramic composites prepared in Examples 2-3, the carbon-ceramic composites in Examples 1 and 4 have higher thermal conductivity and better thermal conductivity.

[0134] Comparing Example 5 with Example 6, Example 5 prepared a carbon-ceramic composite material according to the optimized process conditions provided in this disclosure. The volume fractions of SiC whiskers at 0-15°, 15-30°, and 30-90° in the carbon-ceramic composite material obtained in Example 5 were within the optimized content range provided in this application, while the volume fractions of SiC whiskers at different growth angles in the carbon-ceramic composite material obtained in Example 6 were not within the optimized range. The carbon-ceramic composite material obtained in Example 5 had a higher thermal conductivity and better thermal conductivity. Further comparing Example 1 with Example 5, Example 1 prepared a carbon-ceramic composite material according to more preferred process conditions. The volume fractions of SiC whiskers at 0-15°, 15-30°, and 30-90° in the carbon-ceramic composite material obtained in Example 1 were within the further preferred content range provided in this application. The carbon-ceramic composite material obtained in Example 1 had better thermal conductivity.
