DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention is suitable for automotive, rail transport, heavy machinery and industrial braking systems. especially for those operating under high contact pressure, temperature and friction conditions. It is a hybrid composite brake pad developed for use in braking systems. The subject is brake pads, a copper matrix, and graphene embedded within this matrix. AlCrCuFeNi is a high-entropy alloy composed of reinforcements. The expression refers to the elements aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and nickel (Ni). It refers to the resulting high-entropy alloy, and this alloy contains each element. It is obtained by mixing equal proportions by weight (20%). The main phase of the composite structure consists of a copper matrix. Graphene and AlCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy is used as reinforcement within the copper matrix. It is obtained by combining these components, unlike conventional brake pads. This results in a hybrid structure that exhibits higher wear resistance. The AlCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy used in the invention has multiple main components. It is formed by the combination of elements in approximately equal proportions. High This alloy, possessing configurational entropy, exhibits high hardness, wear resistance, and thermal properties. 2 It provides stability and mechanical strength. The brake phase of the high-entropy alloy. The inclusion of a stable and resistant microstructure on the friction surface into the brake pad structure This microstructure creates the microstructure that produces the braking fluid. Wear mechanisms are significantly suppressed. The invention concerns the production of hybrid composite brake pads using "Spark Plasma". The "sintering" method is used. The "Spark Plasma Sintering" method is used for composites. the structure is obtained in a short time with high density and low porosity This allows for the production of AlCrCuFeNi during the "Spark Plasma Sintering" process. homogeneous distribution of the high-entropy alloy phase within the copper matrix This is ensured. Thus, the formation that occurs between different regions of the composite structure Potential structural irregularities are reduced. At the same time, traditional Grain growth and phase distortions that can occur in sintering methods are minimized. It is being downloaded. High bond between composite components as a result of the sintering process. This creates a durable, dense, and structurally stable brake pad. This results in a low-porosity structure that improves the mechanical strength of the brake pad. and contributes to wear resistance. The use of a high-entropy alloy within a composite structure results in "Spark". The combined application of the "Plasma Sintering" method improves the mechanical and thermal properties of the brake pad. It creates a synergistic effect on their tribological properties. AlCrCuFeNi high Entropy alloy improves the hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability of the friction surface. While increasing the intensity, the "Spark Plasma Sintering" method homogenizes this phase within the copper matrix. This ensures that the components are positioned correctly and that a strong connection is established between them.
