Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive braking materials technology, and in particular to a carbon ceramic disc brake pad and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon ceramic brake discs are widely used in braking systems of high-end automobiles, racing cars, and special vehicles due to their excellent properties such as light weight, high temperature resistance, and long wear life. However, carbon ceramic discs have high surface hardness and low surface energy, resulting in poor interfacial compatibility with traditional brake pad friction materials. This leads to a common problem of severe degradation of the friction coefficient in brake pads under low temperature (-20℃~50℃) and wet conditions.

[0003] CN116622186A discloses "an organic ceramic brake pad for carbon-ceramic brake discs of road vehicles and its preparation method." This ceramic brake pad is prepared using a mixture of 1%–4% phenolic resin, 1%–5% boron-modified phenolic resin, 1%–6% carbon fiber, 8%–15% steel fiber, 15%–20% reduced iron powder, 6%–12% copper powder, and 4%–6% molybdenum disulfide, employing a mixing, hot pressing, and curing process to produce a homogeneous organic ceramic brake pad. The brake pad formulation contains a large amount of steel fiber, reduced iron powder, and copper powder, resulting in a high metal content. At low temperatures, the rapid thermal conductivity of the metal makes it difficult to maintain the interface temperature. The insufficient low-temperature activity of molybdenum disulfide leads to a significant decrease in the friction coefficient under low-temperature conditions. Furthermore, the friction material layer has a homogeneous structure without functional layering, making it impossible to simultaneously meet the multiple requirements of inner layer adhesion and thermal conductivity, as well as outer layer low-temperature lubrication and wet hydrophobicity.

[0004] CN112483563A discloses "a copper-free resin-based friction material for matching carbon-ceramic brake discs and its preparation method." This material mainly consists of four parts: binder, reinforcing fibers, friction modifier, and other fillers and additives, and is prepared through mixing, molding, and heat treatment. This material adopts a homogeneous friction layer structure with no gradient functional layering design, making it impossible to achieve multiple performance divisions; it uses conventional lubrication systems such as graphite and molybdenum disulfide, making it difficult to fully utilize lubrication activity at low temperatures.

[0005] CN116255411A discloses "a carbon-ceramic brake pad for use with a carbon-ceramic brake disc and its preparation method," which consists of a carbon-ceramic liner and a carbon-ceramic friction surface connected by a tenon and mortise structure. The friction surface has grooves for heat dissipation and chip removal. This carbon-ceramic brake pad uses an integrated molding process for carbon-ceramic composite materials. The width and depth of the grooves are both 1mm to 5mm. Its main function is chip removal and heat dissipation, rather than a hydrophobic and water-guiding design for wet water films. During braking in rainy weather or on flooded roads, a water film easily forms at the friction interface, disrupting the contact and reducing braking safety.

[0006] CN120774659A discloses "a brake pad adapted to carbon ceramic brake discs and its preparation process," employing a formulation system of 25%–57% reinforcing fiber, 22%–49% lubricant, 7%–17% binder, 7.2%–28.1% friction modifier, and 3%–23% filler. The lubricant composition is as follows: 8%–18% graphene composite lubricating particles, 13%–23% composite graphite, and 1%–8% antimony sulfide. This material formulation has a high lubricant content, lacks functional layering and hydrophobic / water-conducting structures, and does not design a low-temperature activated lubrication system for low-temperature operating conditions.

[0007] In summary, existing carbon ceramic disc brake pads mainly have the following defects: In existing technologies, the friction material layers are all homogeneous structures without gradient functional layering, which cannot simultaneously achieve low-temperature lubrication and wet hydrophobicity; the friction material surface lacks a dedicated hydrophobic design, which easily forms a water film in wet conditions, damaging the interface, resulting in a large wet friction coefficient attenuation rate and low braking safety.

[0102] The preparation method was carried out in accordance with Example 5.

[0103] Comparative Example 3 The carbon ceramic disc brake pads provided in this comparative example differ from those in Example 5 in that: The inner layer contains the following raw materials in parts by weight: 16 parts carbon fiber, 14 parts basalt fiber, and 22 parts blended resin of cashew nut shell oil modified phenolic resin and polyimide resin.

[0104] The preparation method was carried out in accordance with Example 5.

[0105] The performance of the manufactured carbon ceramic disc brake pads was evaluated.

[0106] (1) Friction coefficient test: The test was conducted in accordance with GB / T5763-2018 "Automotive Brake Liners". A 30mm×30mm×8mm sample was cut from the finished brake pad. The friction surface was sanded until smooth, cleaned with alcohol, and then dried. The carbon ceramic brake disc (diameter 280mm) was fixed on the turntable of a constant speed friction testing machine with an environmental chamber. The sample was installed under the pressure arm to ensure that the friction surfaces were completely in contact. The test parameters were set as follows: contact pressure 0.5MPa, sliding speed 4m / s, temperature range -20℃~50℃ (each 5℃ is a test point). Each temperature point was kept warm for 10min~15min, and then the testing machine was started to continuously rub for 5s. The real-time friction force was recorded. After the environmental chamber stabilized at the set temperature, the next temperature point was tested. Each temperature point was tested once. Calculate the coefficient of friction: μ = frictional force / (contact pressure × sample area). Take this test value as the coefficient of friction at that temperature point. Then, calculate the arithmetic mean of the coefficients of friction at all test temperature points to obtain the average coefficient of friction within the temperature range. Simultaneously, calculate the fluctuation value of the coefficient of friction within the temperature range of -20℃ to 50℃. The fluctuation value of the coefficient of friction is the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​of the coefficient of friction at all test temperature points.

[0107] (2) Wet friction coefficient attenuation rate: Simulate wet working conditions, continuously spray water on the friction surface (spray water volume 2L / min), conduct braking test at 25℃, measure wet friction coefficient, attenuation rate = (dry friction coefficient - wet friction coefficient) / dry friction coefficient × 100%, where the dry friction coefficient is the dry friction coefficient value measured at 25℃ in the above (1) friction coefficient test.

[0108] The evaluation results of each performance are shown in Table 1.

[0109] Table 1 Performance test results of carbon ceramic disc brake pads

[0110] As can be seen from Examples 1-7 in Table 1, within the range of raw materials and contents given in this invention, the prepared carbon ceramic disc brake pads can achieve an average friction coefficient of more than 0.40 in the low temperature range of -20℃ to 50℃ and under wet conditions, with the friction coefficient fluctuation value controlled below 0.06 and the wet friction coefficient attenuation rate ≤10%.

[0111] As can be seen from Table 1 and Example 1: Example 4 shows that graphene-modified molybdenum disulfide and carbon nanotube-modified tungsten disulfide are equivalent in low-temperature lubrication, and urea-formaldehyde resin-coated lubricating oil microcapsules and urea-formaldehyde resin-coated liquid paraffin microcapsules are equivalent in auxiliary lubrication.

[0112] Example 5 shows that the inner layer comprises 16 parts carbon fiber, 14 parts basalt fiber, and 22 parts a blend of cashew nut shell oil-modified phenolic resin and polyimide resin; the outer layer comprises 13 parts carbon fiber, 17 parts basalt fiber, 18 parts a blend of cashew nut shell oil-modified phenolic resin and polyimide resin, 10 parts graphene-modified molybdenum disulfide, and 3 parts methyltrimethoxysilane. This combination achieves an average friction coefficient ≥0.40 and a wet friction coefficient attenuation rate ≤10% in a low-temperature range of -20℃ to 50℃ and under wet conditions. Combined with Examples 1-4, it is evident that adding thermally conductive fillers to the inner layer can further reduce the inner layer temperature and abrasive wear; the additional addition of lubricating microcapsules and hexagonal boron nitride to the outer layer can further improve the average friction coefficient, reduce friction coefficient fluctuations, and improve wear resistance under wet conditions.

[0113] Example 6 shows that the synergy between the water-guiding microchannel and the hydrophobic material enables faster drainage.

[0114] Example 7 uses constant temperature curing, and the friction coefficient fluctuates more, indicating that curing after step temperature increase helps to release internal stress, improve density and thermal stability.

[0115] Comparative Example 1 uses molybdenum disulfide instead of graphene to modify molybdenum disulfide. The average friction coefficient decreases, the fluctuation value increases, and the low-temperature lubrication performance deteriorates, indicating that graphene modification can improve the dispersibility and low-temperature film-forming ability of molybdenum disulfide.

[0116] Comparative Example 2, which used tungsten disulfide instead of graphene to modify molybdenum disulfide, showed a decrease in the average friction coefficient, an increase in fluctuation, and a deterioration in low-temperature lubrication performance, indicating that unmodified tungsten disulfide has poor low-temperature performance. Combined with Example 4, it is shown that modifying tungsten disulfide with carbon nanotubes can effectively improve its low-temperature performance.

[0117] Comparative Example 3 demonstrates that methyltrimethoxysilane plays a crucial role in reducing the attenuation rate of the wet friction coefficient.

[0118] The carbon ceramic disc brake pads of this invention can be widely used in high-end passenger cars, racing cars, special vehicles, and other scenarios equipped with carbon ceramic braking systems. They are also suitable for braking systems of other vehicles with strict braking performance requirements. The preparation method of this invention is mature, the equipment is readily available, and the raw materials can be purchased commercially or prepared using conventional methods, enabling industrial-scale mass production and demonstrating good market application prospects and economic benefits.
