The invention discloses a high-wear-resistance
copper-based friction material for urban light rails and a preparation method of the high-wear-resistance
copper-based friction material, and belongs to the field of
metal-based friction materials. The basic composition of the friction material is Ni, Cu and V
metal elements, the atomic percent of Ni is 31%-48%, the atomic percent of Cu is 27%-63%, and the atomic percent of V is 6%-24%. The preparation method comprises the following steps: melting all the components into a whole through a vacuum
argon arc melting technology, uniformly annealing in a
vacuum annealing furnace at 1200 DEG C for 432 hours, and
quenching in water to obtain the required
copper-based friction material. Compared with the prior art, the prepared copper-based friction material has the following advantages that (1) the Ni-Cu
solid solution formed in the material can effectively improve the strength and
plasticity of the material; (2) the V element in
solid solution in the Ni-Cu matrix can refine material grains due to the existence of a pinning effect, so that the strength and the
toughness of the material are further improved; and the V element can form V2O5 under the conditions of high temperature generated by friction and
exposure to air, can be used as a wear-resistant phase, and can act together with a Ni-Cu matrix, so that the
adhesive wear is reduced, and the wear rate is remarkably reduced. And (3) raw materials are easy to obtain, preparation is convenient, and the copper-based friction material has good application potential in the field of copper-based friction materials for urban light rails.
