Description

摩擦部材、摩擦材組成物、下張り材用摩擦材組成物、下張り材及び車Friction member, friction material composition, friction material composition for underlining material, underlining material and vehicle
 本発明は、摩擦部材、摩擦材組成物、下張り材用摩擦材組成物、下張り材及び車に関する。 The present invention relates to a friction member, a friction material composition, a friction material composition for an underlining material, an underlining material, and a vehicle.
 一般に自動車等が搭載するブレーキとしては、主にディスクブレーキとドラムブレーキの2つに大きく分けられる。ディスクブレーキは、走行中に車輪と一体になって回転するディスクロータをブレーキパッドで挟み、その際に発生する摩擦力によって制動力を発生させるものである。また、ドラムブレーキは、例えば、車輪の内側に設置されたドラムの内部にブレーキライニング(ブレーキシューとも称される。)が装着され、それを内側から外側へ圧着させることで制動力を発揮するものである。
 ディスクブレーキのブレーキパッド及びドラムブレーキのブレーキライニングには摩擦材が設けられ、該摩擦材が、ディスクロータ、ドラム等の対面材と摩擦し、自動車等の運動エネルギーを熱エネルギーに変換することにより制動を行う。そのため、摩擦材には、良好な摩擦係数、耐摩耗性(摩擦材の寿命が長いこと)、強度、制振性(ブレーキ鳴きが発生しにくいこと)等が要求される。
Generally, brakes mounted on automobiles and the like are mainly divided into two main types, namely disc brakes and drum brakes. The disk brake is a device in which a disk rotor that rotates integrally with wheels during traveling is sandwiched between brake pads, and a braking force is generated by frictional force generated at that time. Drum brakes are, for example, those in which a brake lining (also called a brake shoe) is mounted inside a drum installed inside wheels, and exerts a braking force by pressing it from inside to outside. It is.
A friction material is provided on a brake pad of a disc brake and a brake lining of a drum brake, and the friction material rubs against a facing material such as a disc rotor and a drum to convert the kinetic energy of a vehicle or the like into thermal energy, thereby braking. I do. Therefore, the friction material is required to have a good friction coefficient, abrasion resistance (the life of the friction material is long), strength, vibration damping property (there is no occurrence of brake squeal), and the like.
 近年は、ブレーキに対する要求性能の向上から、摩擦係数、耐摩耗性等の摩擦性能を有する摩擦材を「上張り材」として摺動面側に配置し、裏板との接着強度及び耐クラック性を有する「下張り材」を裏板側に配置するという、2層で構成されたブレーキパッドが一般的となっている。なお、上張り材が全て摩耗した際に下張り材で制動することになるため、下張り材は前記性能に加えて、良好な摩擦性能も有していることが求められる。 In recent years, in order to improve the performance required for brakes, friction materials with friction performance such as coefficient of friction and abrasion resistance have been arranged on the sliding surface side as "overlaying materials", and the adhesive strength to the back plate and crack resistance In general, a brake pad composed of two layers, in which a "underlaying material" having the following structure is disposed on the back plate side, is used. In addition, since the lower lining material is braked when all the upper lining material is worn, the lower lining material is required to have good friction performance in addition to the above performance.
 そのような状況下、複数の凸部形状を有するチタン酸カリウムと、平均粒径が1~2.5μmの珪酸ジルコニウムを含有する摩擦材組成物が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 Under such circumstances, a friction material composition containing potassium titanate having a plurality of convex portions and zirconium silicate having an average particle diameter of 1 to 2.5 μm has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1). .

 しかしながら、本発明者等の検討により、特許文献1に記載の摩擦材組成物を参照して研削材を下張り材用摩擦材組成物に含有させて摩擦係数の向上を試みると、背反特性である耐摩耗性が大幅に悪化するという問題が生じ得ることが判明した。
 そこで、本発明の課題は、常温及び高温におけるせん断強度、耐クラック性及び耐摩耗性を良好なものとしながら、優れた摩擦性能を発現し得る摩擦材組成物(特に、下張り材用摩擦材組成物)を提供すること、並びに該摩擦材組成物を成形してなる下張り材、該下張り材を有する摩擦部材、及び該下張り材又は該摩擦部材を搭載した車を提供することにある。
However, according to the study of the present inventors, when the friction material is included in the friction material composition for a base material with reference to the friction material composition described in Patent Literature 1, an attempt is made to improve the coefficient of friction. It has been found that a problem that the wear resistance is significantly deteriorated may occur.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a friction material composition (particularly, a friction material composition for a subbing material) capable of exhibiting excellent friction performance while improving shear strength, crack resistance, and wear resistance at normal and high temperatures. Object), and a subbing material formed by molding the friction material composition, a friction member having the subbing material, and a vehicle equipped with the underlining material or the friction member.

 ところで、摩擦材の強度のためには銅又は銅合金を含有する摩擦材が有利であることが知られているが、銅又は銅合金を含有する摩擦材は制動により発生する摩耗粉に銅を多量に含むため、それが河川、湖及び海洋等の汚染の原因となることが示唆されており、米国、特にカリフォルニア、ワシントンを中心として、摩擦材(上張り材)における銅成分の使用量を制限する法律が施行されている。そのため、米国をはじめ、諸外国にて使用し得る摩擦材とするには、銅を含有しないか、又は銅の含有量を大幅に低減する必要があり、銅を含有する摩擦材は、現在では商業的価値が乏しくなっている。そのため、本発明の下張り材用摩擦材組成物においても銅を含有しないことが好ましいが、銅を含む場合には、下張り材用摩擦材組成物における銅の含有率を銅元素として0.5質量%未満とすることにより、環境中に摩耗粉として放出されても、河川等の汚染を引き起こさないものとすることができる。なお、銅の含有率は、繊維状及び粉末状等の銅、銅合金及び銅化合物に含まれる銅元素(Cu)の、下張り材用摩擦材組成物全体における含有率を示す。下張り材用摩擦材組成物における銅の含有率は、銅元素として0.2質量%以下であることがより好ましく、0.05質量%以下であることがさらに好ましい。
 本発明の下張り材用摩擦材組成物であれば、銅を含まないか、又は含んでいてもその含有率が、銅元素として0.5質量%未満であっても、常温及び高温におけるせん断強度と、耐クラック性とを共に満足させることができ、且つ耐摩耗性にも優れる。
By the way, it is known that a friction material containing copper or a copper alloy is advantageous for the strength of the friction material.However, a friction material containing copper or a copper alloy contains copper as wear powder generated by braking. It has been suggested that it causes pollution of rivers, lakes and oceans due to its large amount, and the use of copper components in friction materials (overlaying materials) has been reduced mainly in the United States, especially California and Washington. Restricting laws are in place. Therefore, in order to be a friction material that can be used in other countries including the United States, it is necessary to not contain copper or to significantly reduce the content of copper. Commercial value is poor. Therefore, it is preferable that the friction material composition for underlining material of the present invention does not contain copper, but when copper is contained, the content of copper in the friction material composition for underlining material is 0.5 mass% as a copper element. By setting it to less than%, even if it is released as abrasion powder into the environment, it is possible to prevent pollution of rivers and the like. The copper content indicates the content of copper element (Cu) contained in fibrous and powdery copper, copper alloys and copper compounds in the entire friction material composition for underlining materials. The content of copper in the friction material composition for underlaying material is more preferably 0.2% by mass or less as a copper element, and further preferably 0.05% by mass or less.
If the friction material composition for underlining material of the present invention does not contain copper, or even if the content is less than 0.5% by mass as a copper element, the shear strength at normal temperature and high temperature is obtained. And crack resistance can be satisfied, and the abrasion resistance is also excellent.
 また、下張り材から鉄繊維等の鉄系金属を除くと、裏金との接着界面での発錆による耐久性低下等の問題が生じなくなる傾向にある。そのため、金属繊維を用いず、その代わりに無機繊維を用いる試みもなされたが、その場合、金属繊維のような靭性が得られず、常温又は高温でのせん断強度が低下するという問題、及び耐クラック性が低下する等の問題が新たに発生し得ることが判明した。ここで、鉄系金属とは、鉄を主成分とする金属であって、一般的な鉄鋼を指し、鉄の含有率は、鉄、鉄合金及び鉄化合物に含まれる鉄元素(Fe)の、下張り材用摩擦材組成物全体における含有率を示す。
 そこで、発錆による耐久性低下等を避ける観点から、本発明の下張り材用摩擦材組成物においては鉄系金属を含有しないことが好ましいが、鉄系金属を含む場合であっても、下張り材用摩擦材組成物における鉄系金属の含有率を鉄元素として0.5質量%未満とすることにより、耐錆性を良好なものとすることができ、裏金との接着界面での発錆による耐久性低下を抑制できる。本発明においては、鉄系金属の含有率を前記範囲に抑えても十分な靭性を有し、常温又は高温でのせん断強度も高く、耐クラック性も良好であり、且つ耐摩耗性も良好である。下張り材用摩擦材組成物における鉄系金属の含有率は、鉄元素として0.2質量%以下であることがより好ましく、0.05質量%以下であることがさらに好ましい。
In addition, when iron-based metals such as iron fibers are removed from the underlay material, there is a tendency that problems such as deterioration of durability due to rust at the bonding interface with the back metal do not occur. For this reason, attempts have been made to use inorganic fibers instead of metal fibers.However, in such a case, the toughness of metal fibers cannot be obtained, and the problem that the shear strength at room temperature or high temperature is reduced, and the problem of resistance It has been found that problems such as a decrease in cracking properties can newly occur. Here, the iron-based metal is a metal containing iron as a main component and refers to general iron and steel. The iron content is determined based on the iron element (Fe) contained in iron, iron alloys, and iron compounds. It shows the content in the entire friction material composition for underlining materials.
Therefore, from the viewpoint of avoiding a decrease in durability due to rust, it is preferable that the friction material composition for an underlining material of the present invention does not contain an iron-based metal. By making the content of the iron-based metal in the friction material composition for iron less than 0.5% by mass as an iron element, rust resistance can be improved, and rusting occurs at the bonding interface with the back metal. A decrease in durability can be suppressed. In the present invention, even if the content of the iron-based metal is suppressed to the above range, it has sufficient toughness, high shear strength at room temperature or high temperature, good crack resistance, and good wear resistance. is there. The content of the iron-based metal in the friction material composition for underlaying material is more preferably 0.2% by mass or less as an iron element, and further preferably 0.05% by mass or less.

Even when the friction material composition is used, the asbestos content is a very small amount. In the friction material composition for underlining material of the present invention, the content of asbestos is preferably 0.2% by mass or less, more preferably substantially 0% by mass.

A grinding material having a Mohs hardness of 6.5 or more has sufficient grinding performance on facing materials such as a disk rotor and a brake drum, so that the friction coefficient can be improved. Therefore, the friction material composition for underlining material of the present invention expresses excellent friction performance while improving shear strength, crack resistance and wear resistance at ordinary temperature and high temperature. The Mohs hardness of the abrasive is preferably 6.7 or more, more preferably 7.0 or more. The upper limit of the Mohs hardness of the abrasive is not particularly limited, but is usually 10 or less, may be 9.5 or less, or may be 8.0 or less.

Cashew particles are generally classified into brown, brown-black, black, and the like, depending on the type of curing agent used in the curing reaction. By adjusting the molecular weight and the like of the cashew particles, it is possible to easily control the heat resistance, the sound and vibration properties, and the film forming property on the rotor as the mating material.
The average particle size of the cashew particles is preferably 850 μm or less, more preferably 750 μm or less, and even more preferably 600 μm or less, from the viewpoint of dispersibility.
