Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a powder metallurgy copper-based friction material for large-displacement motorcycles and its preparation method, belonging to the technical field of powder metallurgy copper-based friction material preparation. Background Technology
[0002] Powder metallurgy friction materials are sintered using powder metallurgy methods and possess excellent friction and wear properties. Among powder metallurgy friction materials, copper-based friction materials are widely used in machining, transportation, and aerospace industries due to their superior product characteristics.
[0003] Existing powder metallurgy copper-based friction materials, mainly composed of copper, iron, tin, nickel, silicon carbide, and aluminum oxide, still suffer from problems such as low hardness and high wear rate, especially exhibiting significant fluctuations in the coefficient of friction during high-speed braking. Large-displacement motorcycles bear heavy loads and travel at high speeds, generating substantial heat. During braking, temperatures can reach or exceed 600 degrees Celsius. Therefore, friction pads need to maintain a stable coefficient of friction under high temperatures to prevent a decrease in friction due to temperature increases. Typically, friction materials are required to have a dynamic coefficient of friction of at least 0.5 and high temperature resistance, which traditional resin-based friction pads struggle to meet. The current mainstream solution is to use powder metallurgy copper-based friction materials. However, traditional powder metallurgy copper-based friction materials have a dynamic coefficient of friction below 0.4 and employ a bell-jar pressure sintering method, resulting in poor product stability and inefficient continuous production.
[0004] Rare earth elements, often referred to as "industrial MSG," play a vital role in various fields, including industry, science and technology, and modern life. Due to their unique electronic structure and chemical properties, they have wide applications in many areas. For example, the addition of heavy metals such as terbium and dysprosium can significantly improve the performance of magnetic materials, enhancing the coercivity and high-temperature resistance of neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnets; ytterbium can improve the stability and corrosion resistance of glass, while erbium can impart special optical properties to glass; the addition of rare earth elements to alloy materials can significantly improve material properties, mainly through refining grain structure, purifying melts, forming thermally stable phases, and improving corrosion resistance. Therefore, rare earth elements have a significant role in the industrial field. CN102516942B discloses an environmentally friendly friction material modified with rare earth oxides and its preparation method. By combining rare earth oxide-modified titanium-iron compounds with inorganic flame-retardant compounds, it solves the problems of unstable friction coefficients and harmful substances in existing friction materials at high temperatures, achieving an environmentally friendly brake pad material with stable friction performance and low wear rate at high temperatures. CN106051006A discloses a rare earth oxide-modified resin-based automotive brake friction material and its preparation method. By using rare earth oxides to replace metal fillers in the resin-based automotive brake friction material, combined with phenolic resin and fibers, and employing a hot-pressing process, the insufficient high-temperature performance and pollution problems of resin-based materials are solved. This results in a high-performance, metal-free rare earth oxide-modified resin-based friction material, improving the overall performance and cost-effectiveness of the friction material. These examples fully demonstrate that rare earths can improve the physical properties of resin-based friction materials, but their application in powder metallurgy copper-based friction materials has not been reported. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the above technical problems, this invention provides a powder metallurgy copper-based friction material with added rare earth elements, specifically a powder metallurgy copper-based friction material for large-displacement motorcycles. Its surface Rockwell hardness (HR15N) is 50-70, its dynamic friction coefficient can reach above 0.7, its static friction coefficient is above 0.8, and its wear rate is less than 1×10⁻⁶. -7 The coefficient of kinetic friction is less than 0.02 cm / (Nm). This invention is achieved through the following technical solution.
[0006] A powder metallurgy copper-based friction material for large-displacement motorcycles comprises the following components: 53-57 wt% electrolytic copper powder, 7-9 wt% reduced iron powder, 6-8 wt% atomized spherical tin powder, 3-5 wt% nickel powder, 3-5 wt% silicon carbide micro powder, 4-6 wt% graphite powder, 4-8 wt% alumina powder, 3-5 wt% fluorite powder, and 1-3 wt% rare earth oxides.
[0007] The rare earth element is at least one of the rare earth elements selected from lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, ytterbium, erbium, and yttrium. The rare earth oxide has an oxide content (REO) ≥ 95%, a relative purity (REO / TREO) ≥ 99%, and a D50 of 3-10 μm. Rare earth oxides are usually represented by "REO," and are a general term for compounds formed by the combination of rare earth elements and oxygen elements, with content expressed as REO. The relative purity of rare earth elements is explained according to term 2.16 in the national standard GB / T 15676-2015, expressed as REO / TREO. The addition of appropriate amounts of rare earth elements can significantly improve the compatibility of the components in powder metallurgy copper-based friction materials, enhance the synergistic effect of the components, and thus improve the overall performance of the friction material. The electrolytic copper powder has a Cu content ≥ 99.9% and a sieve particle size of 200-300 mesh. Copper powder serves as the base material for copper-based friction materials, exhibiting excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. This effectively reduces heat accumulation during friction, preventing material softening or hot spot formation, making it suitable for high-load braking applications. The atomized spherical tin powder contains ≥99% Sn and has a sieve particle size of 200-300 mesh. Tin powder primarily improves the friction and wear resistance of friction materials. It increases the coefficient of friction, enhances wear resistance and durability, and improves thermal stability, maintaining good friction performance even at high temperatures. The high tin content ensures sufficient porosity while maintaining high material strength, resulting in minimal wear during friction braking. The reduced iron powder contains ≥99% Fe and has a D50 of 10-20 μm. Adding iron powder adjusts the hardness of the friction material, increases the coefficient of friction, and reduces wear. The nickel powder contains ≥99.9% Ni and has a D50 of 1-3 μm. Nickel powder can effectively improve the strength and hardness of friction materials. With increasing nickel content, the wear rate decreases and the stability of the friction coefficient increases. The silicon carbide micropowder has a SiC content ≥ 98.5% and a D50 of 5-10 μm. Silicon carbide materials are characterized by high strength, high stiffness, and high elastic modulus. They are not easily deformed under high pressure and have high compressive strength, capable of withstanding high-end stress. They also have good heat resistance and thermal conductivity. SiC, as friction-enhancing particles, is beneficial for the tribological furrowing effect, increasing the dynamic / static friction coefficient. The graphite powder is flake-shaped, with a carbon content C ≥ 99.99% and a sieve particle size of 80-100 mesh. Graphite powder is one of the most heat-resistant materials known, with a melting point of approximately 3900℃. It exhibits extremely low loss rate at ultra-high temperatures, high wear resistance, and good thermal conductivity, effectively transferring heat. This not only improves the lubricity and wear resistance of the material but also enhances its heat resistance and thermal conductivity, while reducing noise and vibration. The alumina powder has an α-Al₂O₃ content of ≥99.99%, a D50 of 30-50 nm, and a specific surface area BET = 10-20 m². 2 / g. Alumina powder can improve hardness and wear resistance, high-temperature stability, coefficient of friction and thermal conductivity in friction materials, thus extending the service life of the material. The fluorite powder contains CaF2 ≥ 98% and has a sieve particle size of 100-200 mesh. Fluorite powder can improve the coefficient of friction, wear resistance and thermal stability of friction materials, enhance the corrosion resistance of the material, and reduce friction noise.
[0008] This invention relates to a powder metallurgy copper-based friction material for large-displacement motorcycles, with a Rockwell hardness of HR15N of 50-70, a dynamic friction coefficient ≥0.7, a static friction coefficient ≥0.8, and a wear rate of less than 1×10⁻⁶. -7 With a coefficient of dynamic friction of cm / (Nm) and a fluctuation of less than 0.02, it can be applied to brakes for large-displacement motorcycles.
[0009] This invention also provides a method for preparing a powder metallurgy copper-based friction material for large-displacement motorcycles. The method employs a pressureless continuous sintering process, first mixing the raw materials according to the formula for 1-6 hours, then pressing them into a blank, sintering at high temperature under a reducing atmosphere, and finally processing and shaping to obtain the powder metallurgy copper-based friction material for large-displacement motorcycles. The formula includes 53-57 wt% electrolytic copper powder, 7-9 wt% reduced iron powder, 6-8 wt% atomized spherical tin powder, 3-5 wt% nickel powder, 3-5 wt% silicon carbide micro powder, 4-6 wt% graphite powder, 4-8 wt% alumina powder, 3-5 wt% fluorite powder, and 1-3 wt% rare earth oxides.
[0010] To ensure more uniform mixing, a gradient mixing method is employed. First, silicon carbide micropowder, graphite powder, alumina powder, fluorite powder, and rare earth oxides are mixed for 1-2 hours. Then, reduced iron powder, atomized spherical tin powder, and nickel powder are added, and the mixture is stirred again for 1-2 hours. Finally, electrolytic copper powder is added and mixed for 1-4 hours to achieve uniform mixing of all components. During mixing, atomizing an appropriate amount of anhydrous ethanol increases the wettability of the materials, which is beneficial to the mixing effect. The optimal mass ratio of anhydrous ethanol to powder is (0.1-0.5):10. After mixing, the mixture needs to be dried at 85-95℃ for 1-4 hours to remove the ethanol. Low-density pressing is used, and the density of the pressed blank is controlled at 3.5-4.0 g / cm³. 3 The material has a low elastic modulus, resulting in good fit and a high coefficient of friction during product braking. The reducing atmosphere refers to a hydrogen-nitrogen mixed atmosphere with a hydrogen content of 25-30%. The high-temperature sintering temperature is 850-950℃, the holding time is 2-5 hours, and the porosity of the sintered product is controlled at 8-10%.
[0011] The preparation method of this invention adopts a pressureless continuous sintering process, which is simple to control and operates continuously, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.
