Detailed Description
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, wear-resistant coatings for brake discs are described that do not suffer from the disadvantages of the known art. Specifically, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, methods are disclosed for simultaneously reducing wear of both a brake rotor and its associated brake pads. Further, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, disc brakes having wear-resistant coatings are disclosed that result in reduced wear of the brake pads as compared to uncoated brake discs.
Accordingly, the following disclosure relates to embodiments of wear-resistant coatings for brake discs, to methods for reducing wear of both brake discs and brake pads associated therewith, and to coated brake discs themselves.
During break-in, the coefficient of friction may vary significantly, thereby giving the vehicle operator an unsafe feel when braking. Embodiments of the present disclosure may be used to reduce or eliminate this break-in period.
Furthermore, reduced wear of the brake rotor may generally be accompanied by an undesirable increase in wear of the brake pads. Embodiments of the present disclosure may also reduce wear on brake pads.
The present disclosure also relates to embodiments of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating systems for brake discs, which can provide increased resistance to any kind of corrosion phenomena on the same disc.
The present disclosure further relates to embodiments of the coating system having: the tendency to form microcracks under tribomechanical stress conditions caused by high energy loads is reduced, so that the phenomenon of cumulative mechanical stress and the generation and propagation of surface cracks on the braking surface are reduced, if not totally eliminated.
Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to the use of such wear-and corrosion-resistant coatings which are plastic in such a way that the tendency to form micro-cracks under tribomechanical stress conditions is reduced, and to braking systems which may comprise elements to be braked, which may for example comprise discs or brake drums made of cast iron or steel, although the specific materials are not limiting, and which are at least partially coated with a wear-and corrosion-resistant coating having sufficient plasticity according to the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the system may further include at least one braking element, which may include a brake pad or brake shoe, adapted to cooperate with an element to be braked by means of friction, wherein the braking element has a friction layer or pad intended to cooperate with the element to be braked. The braking element can be made of any friction material free of asbestos and copper or alloys thereof, said friction material being collectively called "copper-free", in particular of the so-called Low Steel (LS) type or asbestos-free organic (NAO) type.
NAO materials are asbestos-free organic materials that are generally considered to be materials that are internally ferrous-free metals. Also LS is considered to be a material without asbestos inside but with iron based metals, such as metallic iron or iron powder or steel.
In some embodiments, the braking element may be copper-free. In some embodiments, the braking element may be asbestos-free. In some embodiments, the braking element may be copper-free and asbestos-free.
The components of the composition or original mixture of the friction material to be coupled with the wear-resistant coating according to the present disclosure may be those used in friction materials. For example, embodiments of the composition may include, for example, a fibrous material comprising inorganic and/or organic and/or metal fibers, a binder, filler or filler ("filler"), one or more lubricants or friction modifiers, and one or more abrasives. In some embodiments, one or more of the components may be removed as desired.
In particular, the fibers may comprise any organic or inorganic fibers other than asbestos, or any other metal fibers commonly used in friction materials. Illustrative, but non-exhaustive, examples include inorganic fibers such as glass fibers, rock wool, wollastonite, sepiolite, and attapulgite, and organic fibers such as carbon fibers, aramid fibers, polyimide fibers, polyamide fibers, phenolic fibers, cellulose and acrylic fibers, or Polyacrylonitrile (PAN). Metal fibers, such as steel fibers, stainless steel, aluminum fibers, zinc, metal alloys such as iron tin, and the like, may also be used.
The fibers may be used in the form of short or long fibers, and the specific length is not limiting.
To ensure sufficient mechanical strength, the amount of fibers may be between 1% and 50% by volume compared to the total volume of the friction material. In some embodiments, it may be between 8% and 30% by volume.
In accordance with the present disclosure, in some embodiments, organic or inorganic fillers or extenders may also be used as the original components.
Many materials can be used as organic or inorganic fillers. Illustrative, non-limiting examples include calcium carbonate precipitates, barium sulfate, magnesium oxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium fluoride, hydrated lime, talc, mica, and vermiculite.
These may be used alone, or two or more of these may be used in combination. The amount of such fillers may be between 1% and 60% by volume based on the total composition of the friction material.
In some embodiments, an organic binder may be used. The organic binder may be any binder known and commonly used in friction materials, and in general, this is a thermosetting resin or mixture of thermosetting resins.
Illustrative, non-limiting examples of suitable binders include phenolic resins, melamine resins, epoxy resins; various modified phenolic resins, such as epoxy-modified phenolic resins, oil-modified phenolic resins, and alkylbenzene-modified phenolic resins.
Any one or combination of one or more of these complexes may be used. In order to ensure sufficient mechanical resistance and wear resistance, the binder may be included in an amount between 2% and 50% by volume, based on the total composition of the original composite or the final friction material obtained.
In some embodiments, friction modifiers may be used. Friction modifiers (which may include all or a portion of the filler or filler) may be: organic fillers such as cashew nut powder, rubber powder (ground tread rubber powder), various unvulcanized rubber particles, various vulcanized rubber particles, and the like; inorganic fillers such as barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, vermiculite, and/or mica; abrasives such as silicon carbide, alumina, zirconium silicate, and the like; lubricants such as molybdenum disulfide, tin sulfide, zinc sulfide, iron and non-iron sulfides; metal particles other than copper and copper alloys; and/or combinations of all of the foregoing.
The abrasives used in the present disclosure can be classified as follows (the following list is merely indicative, not necessarily exhaustive, and non-limiting):
mild abrasives (Mohs 1-3): talc, calcium hydroxide, potassium titanate, mica, vermiculite, kaolin;
medium abrasive (Mohs 4-6): barium sulfate, magnesium oxide, calcium fluoride, calcium carbonate, wollastonite, calcium silicate, iron oxide, silica, chromite, zirconium oxide, zinc oxide;
strong abrasives (Mohs 7-9): silicon carbide, zircon sand, zirconia, zirconium silicate, zirconium, corundum, alumina and mullite.
Depending on the desired friction characteristics, the friction modifier may be present in an amount between 10% and 80% by volume, as compared to the volume of the entire material.
In general, the friction material components used according to the present disclosure are as follows:
1. adhesive agent
2. Filler
3. Lubricant/friction modifier
4. Abrasive material (which may form part of the filler)
5. Fiber (inorganic/organic/metal)
6. Any metal powder
However, it is to be understood that one or more of any of the above ingredients may be removed as desired.
Brake pads made with the aforementioned friction materials may be coupled/operatively associated with wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coatings applied to at least one friction surface of a brake disc configured for use with the brake pad and comprising a single layer made using a selected combination of:
chromium carbide (Cr) dispersed in a metallic matrix consisting of an NiCr alloy 3 C 2 ) Particles; and/or

In some embodiments, the element to be braked has at least one friction surface configured to cooperate with the braking element, said friction surface being covered with a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating according to what has been described previously, while the braking element comprises at least one block of friction material configured to cooperate with the element to be braked, said friction material being of the copper-free family, in particular of the Low Steel (LS) or asbestos-free organic (NAO) type.
Examples and comparative examples are reported here by way of illustration and are not intended to limit the disclosure.
Example 1
Two different types of various friction material compositions were prepared as shown in table 1. For each of the two families of friction material compositions, known as LS and NAO (both known), friction materials were prepared according to the known compositions currently in use.
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0002898384900000101
In table 1, for mild, medium and strong abrasives, one or more materials are selected as follows:
mild abrasives (Mohs 1-3): talc, calcium hydroxide, potassium titanate, mica, kaolin;
medium abrasive (Mohs 4-6): barium sulfate, magnesium oxide, calcium fluoride, calcium carbonate, wollastonite, calcium silicate, iron oxide, silica, chromite, zirconium oxide, zinc oxide;
strong abrasive (Mohs 7-9): silicon carbide, zircon sand, zirconia, zirconium silicate, zirconium, corundum, alumina and mullite.
Example 2
The friction material compositions according to table 1 were molded onto the same metal substrate and cured in a conventional manner to form the same brake pad, but with different chemical compositions of the friction materials.
In particular at a temperature between 60 and 200 ℃ and between 150 and 1800kg/cm 2 Under pressure of (2) for 2 to 10 minutes, or by pre-forming the mixture in a mould and then at a temperature of 130 to 180 ℃ at 150 to 500kg/cm 2 The extrusion was continued for 2 to 10 minutes under a pressure of (14.7-49 MPa).
The resulting extruded articles are usually post-cured by means of a heat treatment at 150 to 400 ℃ for a duration of between 5 minutes and 15 hours, and then spray-coated or powder-coated, kiln-baked or, if necessary, mechanically processed to produce the final product. The effective braking area per single pad is 52.6cm 2
Example 3
A series of commercial 18 inch laminated cast iron brake discs were purchased, all of which were identical and had the following characteristics: the diameter is 356 mm; thickness (width along the axis of rotation) 28 mm; one disc remains bare; the two opposite faces of the other brake disc, defined by the friction surfaces intended to cooperate with the brake pads, are coated with a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating having sufficient plasticity to reduce the tendency to form microcracks, designated disc a and disc B, having the composition and characteristics shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
Figure BDA0002898384900000111
The chromium carbide containing coating contains a Ni-Cr alloy of up to 75% by weight chromium carbide with the remainder being 20% or 25% chromium. In this example, a 75% chromium carbide and 25% NiCr alloy coating was used. The austenitic steel coating has the following composition (in weight percent): 28% Cr-16% Ni-4.5% Mo-1.5% Si-1.75% C-the remainder Fe.
The coatings of table 2 were applied by thermal spraying by means of HVOF technique (high velocity oxygen fuel spraying): feeding a mixture of gaseous or liquid fuel and oxygen into the combustion chamber for continuous combustion therein; the resulting hot gas is emitted through a converging-diverging nozzle at a pressure close to 1MPa and travels through a straight section; the fuel may be a gas (hydrogen, methane, propane, propylene, acetylene, natural gas, etc.) or a liquid (kerosene, etc.); the velocity of the jet at the outlet of the pipe (> 1000m/s) exceeds the speed of sound. The powder material is injected into the gas stream in sequence, which accelerates the powder up to 800m/s, and the hot gas and powder stream are directed towards the surface to be coated; the powder is partially melted in the gas stream and deposited onto the substrate by providing a coating with low porosity and high bond strength.
After coating by thermal spraying and subsequent grinding, the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating, which has sufficient plasticity so as to reduce the tendency to form microcracks, has a certain surface roughness, which can vary from point to point but is anyway between 0.05 and 2 microns. The average thickness of the coating may be between 20 and 400 microns, and in this example, is about 90 microns.
Example 4
Several fade and AK Master tests were performed using different combinations of disc/pads, using the brake disc of example 3 and the brake pad of example 2. The results obtained are shown in figures 1 to 5 and 7 to 9, in which the combinations used are as follows:
·bare cast iron: an uncoated brake disc coupled to a brake pad made of LS or NAO friction material;
·dish A0: brake discs coated with WC material deposited on nickel layers currently commercially available and for comparative purposes, coupled to brake pads made of LS or NAO friction material;
·dish A: coated with chromium carbide (Cr) dispersed in a metallic matrix of NiCr alloy having sufficient plasticity to reduce the tendency to form microcracks according to the invention 3 C 2 ) A brake disc of wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant material of particulate construction coupled to a brake pad made of LS or NAO friction material;
·dish B: coated with a coating in the form of a FeNiCrMoSiC (iron-nickel-chromium-molybdenum-silicon-carbon) alloyObtained from powders of individual metal component materials so as to yield a steel product consisting of a material known as chromium-nickel austenitic steel

Discussion of results
As is apparent from what has been described so far, the materials used for the coating are novel in the field of wear-resistant coatings for brake discs. In fact, said material is based on chromium carbide dispersed in a metal matrix of nichrome or on chromium-nickel austenitic steel, and is preferably included in an alloy obtained from a combination of several metallic materials, so as to produce a material known by the trade name nichrome in the example shown
Figure BDA0002898384900000131
A FeNiCrMoSiC (iron-nickel-chromium-molybdenum-silicon-carbon) alloy.
From a comparison of the figures that can be derived by means of the fade test, it is evident that there is a better braking performance, reflected in a greater friction stability, whereas the brake disc coated with the first material comprised by the present disclosure, constituted by chromium carbide particles and coated according to the method described in the present disclosure (disc a), in which both known friction materials have been tested, belongs to the two friction material families that are most commonly used, ensures a greater friction stability compared to bare cast iron.
With further comparison of the AKM patterns, it is evident that the inclusion of the present disclosure is seen with both bare cast iron and the current commercial coating material (disc A0)
Figure BDA0002898384900000132
The friction material of the second coating layer (disc B) made of the alloy has the same or better performance.
Furthermore, with the coating of the present disclosure, the coefficient of friction is well maintained during braking. It is therefore apparent that the undesirable extended "break-in" period disadvantage of brake pad/brake disc couplings coated with conventional wear resistant layers is eliminated or at least greatly reduced.
Looking then at the wear data reported in table 3, it can be seen that the wear value when coupled together is 5.14mm compared to the wear value (measured as pad loss in millimeters after the Porsche decay test compared to the new material) of a brake pad made with a NAO type friction composite coupled to a disc coated with WC deposited on a nickel layer currently commercially available and used for comparative purposes, whereas the materials of the present disclosure indicate that the wear value of the NAO material is very similar to that obtained using a bare cast iron disc (uncoated).
Fig. 6 highlights the thermal conductivity ensured by the coating of the present disclosure based on chromium carbide particles deposited using the method described in the present disclosure, the conductivity of the coating according to the present disclosure being close to the value obtained from bare cast iron disks compared to the coating containing WC deposited on the nickel layer currently marketed and used for comparison purposes.
The micrograph of fig. 11 makes it possible to characterize the wear-resistant coating according to the present disclosure. It is evident that by means of the HVOF spraying technique, the chromium carbide particles (disc a) or FeNiCrMoSiC particles (disc B) contained in the metal matrix ensure good homogeneity and make the coating free of pores.
The micrograph of FIG. 15 highlights the coating (A0) respectively covered with the inclusion of WC, the inclusion of Cr, subjected to the decay test 3 C 2 Coating (A) and the content of
Figure BDA0002898384900000133
The state of the braking surface of the coating layer (B) of an austenitic alloy of (a). The other two coatings showed a reduced tendency to develop surface cracks compared to the WC containing coatings used for comparative purposes. FIGS. 12-13-14 illustrate the reduced tendency to crack, wherein the WC-containing coating has a higher elastic modulus (EIT) value than the Cr-containing coating 3 C 2 The elastic modulus value of the coating layer of (2) and
Figure BDA0002898384900000141
modulus of elasticity value of type (VI).
Etching of
To evaluate the improvement compared to bare cast iron, a corrosion resistance test was performed. The different discs selected were as follows:
i) bare gray cast iron
ii) disc a 0: WC-containing coating for comparison
iii) disc A: containing Cr 3 C 2 Coating of
iv) plate B: diamalloy-containing coating
The disc is first subjected to a decay test as described previously. After the test station test, the disk was entered into the brine chamber, wherein the cycle comprised: salt spraying with 5% NaCl was performed 20% of the time, drying was performed 10% of the time, and the remaining 70% of the time was exposed to at least 90% humidity. The discs were left for 1 week and then visually inspected. Bare gray cast iron discs exhibited a significant amount of rust on the braking surface, whereas the other three discs with different types of coatings revealed clean surfaces. This therefore indicates good corrosion resistance, as fully depicted in fig. 16.
Conclusion
Both types of coating based on anti-wear materials according to the present disclosure, tested on the same brake disc, make it possible not only to substantially reduce the wear of the brake disc (in a sense of the expected performance), but also in particular to unexpectedly reduce the wear of the brake pad, on the one hand, for both families of friction materials tested (considering the overall composition of the friction material tested, and therefore, it can be considered, for any family of friction material compositions currently in use), on the other hand, to obtain simultaneously and quite unexpectedly good uniformity in the friction coefficient.
Finally, it is also unexpected that some wear resistant materials, and in particular some specific wear resistant/friction material coupling pairs, can provide significantly superior performance.
