The invention discloses a preparation method of a
copper-based friction material with uniformly-distributed ferrum phase, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of
powder metallurgy copper-based friction materials. The preparation method comprises the following steps that, by
mass percentage, 70-80% of
copper-iron
alloy powder is taken as a matrix
raw material of the copper-based friction material, 5-10% of
tin powder, 1-5% of
nickel powder, 5-10% of scale-like
graphite powder, 1-10% of silica powder, 1-5% of
molybdenum disulfide and 5-15% of
mullite are added into the copper-iron
alloy powder, all the materials are uniformly mixed according to a certain ratio and are subjected to cold-pressing forming and hot-pressing
sintering to obtain the copper-based friction material with the ferrum phase uniformly distributed on phase interfaces between the matrix and the additive components, wherein the
sintering temperature is 850-950 DEG C, and the heat preservation time is 2-3 hours. The copper-iron
alloy powder is prepared by adopting an
argon atomization mode, and the
mass fraction of the iron element is 2-4%. The copper-iron alloy powder replaces pure copper powder to be taken as the matrix
raw material, the ferrum phase can be uniformly distributed on the phase interfaces, so that the interface strength is improved, and meanwhile the wettability between the copper and the
graphite is improved; and the prepared copper-based
powder metallurgy material for a
brake pad is small in
porosity, high in
matrix strength and has more excellent friction and abrasion performance compared with materials used in a traditional
brake pad.
