Definitions

  • This invention relates to friction materials, and more particularly to friction materials of the kind used for brake pads, brake linings, clutch facings and similar uses.
  • Friction materials of this kind are generally composed of a thermoset binder, and asbestos fibre reinforcement and various fillers and other additives and are used against cast iron brake discs, drums etc.
  • French Patent Specification No. 1,575,746 describes a friction material containing steel wool, but this material is for use against steel counter members, as in railway brake blocks, and is formulated from materials those function includes embrittlement of the steel so that it will break up at the surface of the brake block.
  • Proposals have also been made of compositions containing non-asbestos inorganic fibrous reinforcement for brake pads and linings of automotive types but such materials have so far had limited commercial acceptance.
  • a friction material suitable for moulded brake pads or linings comprises a thermoset binder a steel fibre reinforcement, and other fillers and additives and is characterised in that the composition consists of, in combination,
  • the inert mineral filler is present in an amount between 10 and 35 per cent by volume, and is most important from a cost point of view when comparing these materials, since asbestos is a cheap raw material being replaced by relatively expensive man-made fibre. Hence it is necessary to find a friction material having satisfactory properties but able to carry a loading of cheap filler material.
  • the fibrous reinforcement consists of fine steel fibres having a length of the order of 1 to 5mm, preferably having a diameter of the order of 0.125mm.
  • the steel may be a mild steel.
  • the fibrous reinforcement preferably constitutes at least 9% by volume of the friction material.
  • the thermoset binder includes a thermoset resin based on a phenol-formaldehyde material but may also include a heat and chemical resistant vulcanized rubber, such as a nitrile rubber.
  • a mixture of such materials is used in which the phenol-formaldehyde resin material is preferably the major constituent i.e. more than 50% of said mixture.
  • a rubber When a rubber is used it may be incorporated into the friction material in the form of a solution in an organic solvent such as trichloroethylene, or in the form of a powder, and a vulcanizing agent such as sulphur can be also used.
  • friction materials It is usual in the manufacture of friction materials to include various other material as friction and wear modifiers the proportions of which can be varied to adjust to the friction and other properties of the materials.
  • friction and wear modifiers are carbon, graphite, antimony trisulphide and molybdenum disulphide and metals in a finely divided form.
  • suitable metals are copper, brass and tin. A mixture of such materials may be used, and the total amount of such materials may be up to 40 per cent by volume.
  • the invention provides friction materials which contain no asbestos and yet which have friction properties comparable to conventional asbestos-reinforced materials.
  • Sample disc brake pads were made using the formulation given below in Table I. The ingredients were compounded together the nitrile rubber being introduced as a powder and the resulting dry mix was disintegrated and press-moulded in a die into the shape of disc-brake pads. The mouldings so produced were baked in an oven to cure the binder.
  • sample disc-brake pads were tested and their friction properties found to be comparable to materials containing asbestos as the fibre reinforcement.
  • This example illustrates a formulation with a higher loading of steel fibres.
  • Disc brake pads were manufactured to the formulation given below in Table II by the same method as used in Example 1 except that the nitrile rubber in the present example was introduced as a 16% (by weight) solution in trichloroethylene.
  • This example illustrates the use of lower binder content and higher loading of inert filler (Barytes).
  • the assembly shear strengths measured were 15237 and 13031 kN/m 2.
