The invention discloses a friction material which comprises a
metal material, a bonding material, an
abrasive material, a
fiber reinforced material, a friction increasing material, a
friction reducing material, a function reinforced material and other fillers. According to the invention, the
powder metallurgy technology is utilized to combine the advantages of the iron-based friction material and the
copper-based friction material, then the combination material, the
abrasive material, the friction increasing material, the
friction reducing material, the function reinforcing material, the
fiber reinforcing material and other fillers are reasonably matched, and all the components are kept in the material in a mechanical combination manner, so that the whole friction material with certain mechanical properties is formed. The
heat resistance of the friction material is improved, the components of low-melting-point
metal are reduced, the content of
metal with
high heat conductivity is increased, the
friction coefficient stability of the friction material can be improved, the heat
fading phenomenon caused by sharp temperature rise of the friction material due to emergency braking or continuous downhill is improved, and the service life of the friction material is prolonged. Under the condition that the moderate and stable
friction coefficient is ensured, the excellent characteristics of
noise reduction,
heat resistance and small dual damage are also realized.
