Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of brake materials, for example, to a melt siliconizing tool for producing carbon ceramic brake discs. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] Carbon ceramic brake disc manufacturing processes include chemical vapor infiltration (CVI), precursor impregnation-pyrolysis (PIP), and melt siliconization (LSI). The melt siliconization process offers advantages such as low cost and short manufacturing cycle.

[0004] The existing technology is to use a flow-guiding structure to guide silicon into the brake disc to achieve silicon-enhanced ceramicization of the brake disc. Utility model patent CN206553412, a carbon-carbon tooling suitable for the production of carbon-ceramic composite materials by melt siliconizing, uses a C / C composite material pad under the brake disc to achieve flow guidance. Invention patent CN118108519, a carbon / carbon-silicon carbide tooling and its preparation method and application in liquid-phase siliconizing of carbon-ceramic brake discs also use pads to achieve flow guidance. The siliconizing tooling invented by invention patent CN109176832 supports the brake disc and also plays a guiding role. The flow-guiding structure can prevent a large amount of molten silicon from accumulating on the brake disc surface, but the flow-guiding structure is ceramicized and adheres to the brake disc, which is difficult to remove. After the melt siliconizing is completed, additional processing is required to remove the flow-guiding structure, which affects production efficiency and increases costs. Utility Model Content

[0032] Combine Figure 1-3 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a melt siliconizing tool for producing carbon ceramic brake discs, comprising:

[0034] A plurality of guide teeth 7 are provided on the lower barrel 4. The guide teeth are rectangular in structure and are evenly distributed at the lower opening of the lower barrel 4. The specific number is determined by the inner diameter of the brake disc. According to different inner diameters, the corresponding size of tooling can be used.

[0035] The flow groove 6 is located between adjacent teeth and is used to guide the molten silicon to flow into the brake disc. Specifically, the position of the flow groove corresponds to the inner diameter of the brake disc, so that the entire inner diameter of the brake disc can contact the molten silicon.

[0036] The melt siliconizing tool 1 can be made of graphite material, and the tool is integrally formed.

[0037] In actual application, the diameter of the lower edge of the lower barrel 5 is slightly smaller than the inner ring diameter of the brake disc 2. After the molten siliconizing tool 1 is placed in the graphite crucible 3, the upper edge of the upper barrel 4 does not exceed the upper edge of the graphite crucible 3.

[0038] The specific operation steps of melt siliconizing a brake disc using the melt siliconizing tool 1 are as follows:

[0039] (1) A brake disc 2 with an outer ring diameter of 400 mm, an inner ring diameter of 100 mm, and a thickness of 34 mm is placed in a graphite crucible 3, wherein the brake disc 2 has a mass of 3500 g and a density of 1.35 g / cm 3 ;

[0041] (3) Pour 3322 g of silicon into the molten siliconizing tool 1. The flow groove 6 guides the molten silicon to flow to the brake disc 2 to ensure uniform molten siliconizing.

[0042] The tooling designed by the utility model avoids excess silicon on the surface of the brake disc and avoids tooling removal processing after molten siliconization.

[0043] The above description and the accompanying drawings sufficiently illustrate the embodiments of the present disclosure to enable those skilled in the art to practice them.
