Description

発明の技術分野
本発明は、非石綿系摩擦材に関し、さらに詳しくは、クラッチディスクにおけるフリクションワッシャあるいは洗濯機におけるブレーキシューなどに用いられ、飛散した摩耗粉をヒトが吸引してもヒトへの安全性に優れ、緩衝作用を有する非石綿系摩擦材に関する。
従来技術の問題点
自動車などのクラッチディスク、洗濯機のブレーキ機構などには、摩擦材が、フリクションワッシャあるいはブレーキシューとして用いられている。このような摩擦材は、製造容易であり、高摩擦係数を有するとともに耐摩耗性に優れ、かつクッション性を有し、しかも例えばブレーキホイールに沿って巻きつけても折れないというような柔軟性を有することが望ましい。このような摩擦材は、従来石綿を基材として製造されてきたが、現在は石綿の人体に対する悪影響もあり、石綿の使用は制限されている。
特に自動車などでは、エンジン性能の向上に伴い、過酷な条件下での使用に耐え得るような強度に優れたフリクションワッシャやブレーキシューなどの非石綿系摩擦材が強く求められている。また自動車などの小型化・軽量化に伴いエンジンやモーター周りの小スペース化が進められており、これに伴い摩擦材においても小型軽量で優れた摩擦性能(高摩擦係数)を有するものが求められている。
しかしながら緩衝作用を有する非石綿系摩擦材は、石綿系摩擦材に比べて強度が劣るという問題点がある。
そこで、上記問題点を解決すべく鋭意研究して、本願出願人は、先に、特開平6−287322号公報にて、非石綿系基材繊維、ゴム材、ゴム配合薬品、フェノール樹脂およびホワイトカーボンを含む非石綿系摩擦材を提案した。また、該公報の[0014]〜[0015]欄には、非石綿系基材繊維としては、ガラス繊維、カーボン繊維、スチール繊維、セラミックス繊維、セピオライト、ロックウールなどの無機繊維、芳香族ポリアミド繊維、ノボロイド繊維、レーヨンなどの有機繊維が挙げられ、特に、有機系の芳香族ポリアミド繊維と無機系のセピオライトとを組み合わせて用いると優れた補強効果が得られる旨記載されている。該公報に記載の非石綿系摩擦材は、従来のものに比して、強度、柔軟性、摩擦性能に優れているものであった。
しかしながら、最近、天然鉱物無機繊維の一種であるセピオライト(含水珪酸マグネシウム繊維)には、不純物として石綿の一種であるトレモライトが微量に混入していることが明らかになってきた。
摩擦材は、相手材と摩擦することにより、その機能を発揮するが、その際に摩耗粉が発生する。そのため、セピオライトのように、石綿の一種であるトレモライトが混入していると、その摩耗粉が空気中に飛散し、もしヒトがその摩耗粉を吸引すると健康を害することも僅かであるが考え得る。
発明の目的
本発明は上記のような従来技術に伴う問題点を解決しようとするものであって、飛散した摩耗粉をヒトが吸引してもヒトへの安全性に優れ、しかも従来の摩擦材とほぼ同様の強度、摩擦性能などを有する、非石綿系摩擦材を成形作業性良く形成し、提供することを目的としている。
発明の開示
本発明に係る非石綿系摩擦材は、非石綿系基材繊維として(i)塩基性硫酸マグネシウム繊維と、(ii)人造ガラス繊維および/またはワラストナイトとを含むことを特徴としている。
本発明においては、上記塩基性硫酸マグネシウム繊維(i)と、人造ガラス繊維および/またはワラストナイト(ii)との合計100重量%中に、塩基性硫酸マグネシウム繊維(i)が20〜90重量%の量で、人造ガラス繊維および/またはワラストナイト(ii)が80〜10重量%の量で含まれていることが好ましい。
また、本発明においては、上記非石綿系基材繊維100重量%中に、有機繊維が0.5〜30重量%の量で含まれていることが好ましい。
また、上記非石綿系基材繊維が、摩擦材100重量%中に、10〜60重量%の量で含まれていることが好ましい。

非石綿系基材繊維としては、上記塩基性硫酸マグネシウム繊維(i)と、人造ガラス繊維および/またはワラストナイト(ii)とを含み、これら繊維(i)と(ii)の合計100重量%中に、塩基性硫酸マグネシウム繊維(i)が20〜90重量%、好ましくは30〜80重量%、特に好ましくは40〜70重量%の量で、人造ガラス繊維および/またはワラストナイト(ii)が残部量、すなわち、80〜10重量%、好ましくは70〜20重量%、特に好ましくは60〜30重量%の量で含まれていることが望ましい。
特に、この塩基性硫酸マグネシウム繊維は、平均繊維長が7〜10μmであることが好ましい。また、人造ガラス繊維の繊維長は、100μm以上が好ましく、さらに好ましくは100〜650μmである。ワラストナイトの繊維長は、100μm以上が好ましく、さらに好ましくは100〜800μmである。
非石綿系基材繊維としては、さらに、芳香族ポリアミド繊維(アラミド繊維)、脂肪族ポリアミド繊維、ノボロイド繊維(フェノール樹脂を繊維化した後、架橋処理し、分子構造を3次元化したもの)、セルロース繊維、レーヨン(ビスコースレーヨン、銅−アンモニアレーヨンなど、セルロースからの再生繊維)などの有機繊維が、上記非石綿系基材繊維100重量%中に、好ましくは0.5〜30重量%、さらに好ましくは1.0〜25重量%、特に好ましくは3.0〜20重量%の量で含まれていることが望ましい。
また、上記非石綿系基材繊維が、摩擦材100重量%中に、10〜60重量%の量で含まれていることが好ましい。

無機充填材としては、例えば、酸化亜鉛、クレー、タルク、硫酸バリウム、炭酸カルシウム、水酸化カルシウム、雲母などが挙げられる。
その他の配合可能な成分としては、例えば、摩擦調整剤等が挙げられる。
摩擦調整剤としては、例えば、ホワイトカーボン、カーボンブラック、カシューダスト、炭酸カルシウム、硫酸バリウム、アルミナ、黒鉛(グラファイト)、二硫化モリブデンなどが挙げられる。
本発明に係る非石綿系摩擦材の製造方法は、基本的には石綿系摩擦材の製造方法と同様であって、従来石綿系摩擦材の製造に用いられていた原料の1つである基材繊維としての石綿を、(i)塩基性硫酸マグネシウム繊維と、(ii)人造ガラス繊維および/またはワラストナイトとを含む非石綿系基材繊維に代え、そしてゴム材等の結着材、ゴム配合薬品と共に、必要により、熱硬化性樹脂、摩擦調整剤、無機充填剤などを用いればよい。
例えば上記非石綿系基材繊維とホワイトカーボンなどの摩擦調整剤などとを混合し、得られた混合物を結着材、ゴム配合薬品と混練して非石綿系摩擦材用の材料を調製する。次いで、この材料を押出し機でシート状に押し出す。
次いで、このシート状物を、例えば40〜50℃の温度で10〜50時間程度予備乾燥し、次いで、例えば80〜100℃程度の温度で1〜5時間程度追加乾燥した後、例えば170〜190℃の温度および3〜6MPaの加熱・加圧条件下で成形する。
さらに、成形済みのシート状物の表裏面を研磨し、所定の形状寸法に打抜きまたは切断などして仕上げれば、本発明に係る非石綿系摩擦材が得られる。
本発明に係る非石綿系摩擦材には、このような重量比で上記塩基性硫酸マグネシウム繊維(i)と、(人造)ガラス繊維および/またはワラストナイト(ii)とが含まれていると、非石綿系摩擦材を成形作業性良く製造でき、しかも得られた非石綿系摩擦材は、強度、耐摩耗性等に特にバランス良く優れる傾向がある。
なお、塩基性硫酸マグネシウム繊維量が上記範囲より少ないと、シート状物への成形作業性が低下し、得られた非石綿系摩擦材の耐摩耗性が低下するなどの傾向があり、また、塩基性硫酸マグネシウム繊維量が上記範囲より多いと、成形作業性は良好であるが、機械的強度、耐摩耗性が従来の非石綿系摩擦材と比較して低下する傾向がある。

産業上の利用可能性
以上詳述したように、本発明に係る非石綿系摩擦材は、強度、摩擦係数が大きく、成形作業性に優れ、また、緩衝作用を有しており、その上、この摩擦材が磨耗し、飛散した摩耗粉をヒトが吸引してもヒトへの安全性に優れており、クラッチディスクにおけるフリクションワッシャあるいは洗濯機におけるブレーキシューなどとして好適に用いられる。TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a non-asbestos-based friction material, and more particularly to a friction washer in a clutch disc or a brake shoe in a washing machine, and is safe for humans even if scattered wear powder is sucked by a human. The present invention relates to a non-asbestos-based friction material having excellent cushioning properties.
Problems of the prior art Friction materials are used as friction washers or brake shoes in clutch disks of automobiles, brake mechanisms of washing machines, and the like. Such a friction material is easy to manufacture, has a high friction coefficient, is excellent in wear resistance, has a cushioning property, and has such flexibility that it does not break even when wound along a brake wheel, for example. It is desirable to have. Such a friction material has been conventionally produced using asbestos as a base material. However, there is an adverse effect on the human body of asbestos, and the use of asbestos is limited.
Particularly in automobiles, as engine performance improves, non-asbestos-based friction materials such as friction washers and brake shoes having excellent strength that can withstand use under severe conditions are strongly demanded. In addition, with the downsizing and weight reduction of automobiles, etc., the space around the engine and motor has been reduced. As a result, friction materials that are small and light and have excellent friction performance (high friction coefficient) are required. ing.
However, the non-asbestos-based friction material having a buffering action has a problem that the strength is inferior to that of the asbestos-based friction material.
In view of this, the inventors of the present invention have made extensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems. First, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-287322, the applicant of the present application disclosed a non-asbestos base fiber, rubber material, rubber compounding chemical, phenol resin, and white A non-asbestos-based friction material containing carbon was proposed. In the [0014] to [0015] columns of the publication, as non-asbestos-based substrate fibers, glass fibers, carbon fibers, steel fibers, ceramic fibers, sepiolite, rock wool and other inorganic fibers, aromatic polyamide fibers And organic fibers such as novoloid fibers and rayon. In particular, it is described that an excellent reinforcing effect can be obtained when organic aromatic polyamide fibers and inorganic sepiolite are used in combination. The non-asbestos-based friction material described in the publication is superior in strength, flexibility, and friction performance as compared with conventional ones.
However, recently, it has become clear that a small amount of tremolite, which is a type of asbestos, is mixed as an impurity in sepiolite (hydrous magnesium silicate fiber), which is a type of natural mineral inorganic fiber.
The friction material exerts its function by rubbing against the mating material, but wear powder is generated at that time. Therefore, if tremorite, which is a kind of asbestos, is mixed in like sepiolite, the wear powder is scattered in the air, and if humans suck the wear powder, it may be slightly harmful to health. .
The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems associated with the prior art as described above, and is excellent in safety to humans even if the human wears the scattered wear powder, and the conventional friction material. The purpose of the present invention is to form and provide a non-asbestos-based friction material having substantially the same strength, friction performance, and the like with good workability.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The non-asbestos-based friction material according to the present invention is characterized by containing (i) basic magnesium sulfate fiber and (ii) artificial glass fiber and / or wollastonite as non-asbestos-based base fiber. Yes.
In the present invention, the basic magnesium sulfate fiber (i) is 20 to 90% by weight in a total of 100% by weight of the basic magnesium sulfate fiber (i) and the artificial glass fiber and / or wollastonite (ii). It is preferable that artificial glass fiber and / or wollastonite (ii) is contained in an amount of 80 to 10% by weight.
Moreover, in this invention, it is preferable that the organic fiber is contained in the quantity of 0.5-30 weight% in 100 weight% of the said non-asbestos-type base material fibers.
Moreover, it is preferable that the said non-asbestos-type base fiber is contained in the quantity of 10 to 60 weight% in 100 weight% of friction materials.
According to the present invention, a non-asbestos-based friction material that has excellent safety to humans even when the scattered wear powder is sucked by humans and that has almost the same strength and friction performance as a conventional friction material is molded. It can be formed and provided with good properties.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the non-asbestos-based friction material according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described.
The non-asbestos-based friction material according to the present invention includes non-asbestos-based base fibers, rubber materials, and other necessary inorganic fillers, friction modifiers, thermosetting resins, etc. (I) Basic magnesium sulfate fiber and (ii) artificial glass fiber and / or wollastonite are contained as essential components.
The non-asbestos-based substrate fiber includes the basic magnesium sulfate fiber (i) and the artificial glass fiber and / or wollastonite (ii), and the total of these fibers (i) and (ii) is 100% by weight. In the amount of basic magnesium sulfate fiber (i) in the amount of 20 to 90% by weight, preferably 30 to 80% by weight, particularly preferably 40 to 70% by weight, artificial glass fiber and / or wollastonite (ii) Is preferably contained in an amount of 80 to 10% by weight, preferably 70 to 20% by weight, particularly preferably 60 to 30% by weight.
In particular, the basic magnesium sulfate fiber preferably has an average fiber length of 7 to 10 μm. Further, the fiber length of the artificial glass fiber is preferably 100 μm or more, more preferably 100 to 650 μm. The fiber length of wollastonite is preferably 100 μm or more, more preferably 100 to 800 μm.
As non-asbestos-based substrate fibers, aromatic polyamide fibers (aramid fibers), aliphatic polyamide fibers, and novoloid fibers (phenolic resin is fiberized and then cross-linked to make the molecular structure three-dimensional), Organic fibers such as cellulose fibers and rayon (regenerated fibers from cellulose such as viscose rayon and copper-ammonia rayon) are preferably 0.5 to 30% by weight in 100% by weight of the non-asbestos base fiber. More preferably, it is contained in an amount of 1.0 to 25% by weight, particularly preferably 3.0 to 20% by weight.
Moreover, it is preferable that the said non-asbestos-type base fiber is contained in the quantity of 10 to 60 weight% in 100 weight% of friction materials.
Conventionally known rubber materials can be widely used. For example, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), butadiene rubber (BR), isoprene rubber (IR), acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (nitrile rubber, NBR) chloroprene rubber ( CR) and other diene rubbers, butyl rubber (IIR), ethylene-propylene rubber (EPDM), aquaryl rubber (ACM), olefin rubbers such as fluoro rubber (FKM), other silicone rubber (Q), urethane rubber (AU), etc. Can be mentioned.
Examples of the inorganic filler include zinc oxide, clay, talc, barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, and mica.
As another component which can be mix | blended, a friction modifier etc. are mentioned, for example.
Examples of the friction modifier include white carbon, carbon black, cashew dust, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, alumina, graphite (graphite), and molybdenum disulfide.
The method for producing a non-asbestos-based friction material according to the present invention is basically the same as the method for producing an asbestos-based friction material, and is a base material that has been one of the raw materials conventionally used for the production of asbestos-based friction materials. Asbestos as a material fiber is replaced with a non-asbestos-based substrate fiber containing (i) basic magnesium sulfate fiber and (ii) artificial glass fiber and / or wollastonite, and a binder such as a rubber material, Along with the rubber compounding chemical, if necessary, a thermosetting resin, a friction modifier, an inorganic filler or the like may be used.
For example, the non-asbestos base fiber and a friction modifier such as white carbon are mixed, and the resulting mixture is kneaded with a binder and a rubber compounding chemical to prepare a material for a non-asbestos friction material. The material is then extruded into a sheet with an extruder.
Next, the sheet is preliminarily dried at a temperature of, for example, 40 to 50 ° C. for about 10 to 50 hours, and then additionally dried at a temperature of, for example, about 80 to 100 ° C. for about 1 to 5 hours. Molding is performed at a temperature of ° C. and heating and pressurizing conditions of 3 to 6 MPa.
Further, the non-asbestos-based friction material according to the present invention can be obtained by polishing the front and back surfaces of the formed sheet-like material and finishing it by punching or cutting into a predetermined shape.
The non-asbestos-based friction material according to the present invention contains the basic magnesium sulfate fiber (i), (artificial) glass fiber and / or wollastonite (ii) in such a weight ratio. The non-asbestos-based friction material can be produced with good molding workability, and the obtained non-asbestos-based friction material tends to be particularly excellent in balance in strength, wear resistance and the like.
In addition, when the amount of basic magnesium sulfate fiber is less than the above range, there is a tendency that the workability of molding into a sheet-like product is reduced, and the wear resistance of the obtained non-asbestos-based friction material is reduced, When the amount of the basic magnesium sulfate fiber is larger than the above range, the molding workability is good, but the mechanical strength and wear resistance tend to be lower than those of conventional non-asbestos friction materials.
Effect of the Invention The non-asbestos-based friction material according to the present invention includes (i) basic magnesium sulfate fiber which is a specific non-asbestos-based base fiber, and (ii) “artificial glass fiber and / or wollastonite”. It is included and has high strength and coefficient of friction, and excellent molding workability.
Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a non-asbestos-based friction material that is excellent in safety to humans and has a buffering effect even if the human wears away scattered dust.
