The invention discloses a
copper-based
powder metallurgy brake pad material as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The
copper-based
powder metallurgy brake pad material is prepared from the following raw materials in percentage by weight: 54 weight percent to 67 weight percent of
copper powder, 13 weight percent of
graphite, 4 weight percent to 17 weight percent of
iron powder, 8weight percent to 14 weight percent of a
ferrochrome alloy, 1 weight percent to 4 weight percent of
silicon carbide and 1 weight percent to 4 weight percent of
silicon dioxide; the preparation methodof the copper-based
powder metallurgy brake pad material comprises the following steps: 1) weighing the raw materials according to the ratio and putting the raw materials into a mixer and uniformly mixing; 2) filling the mixed raw materials into a mold; carrying out
hot pressing sintering or
spark plasma sintering under the protection of a vacuum
atmosphere or
nitrogen gas to obtain the brake padmaterial with excellent comprehensive performance. The prepared
brake pad material has
high density and rigidity, stable
friction coefficient, abrasion resistance and excellent comprehensive performance, and can meet the requirements on braking friction plates of high-speed rail trains. The copper-based
powder metallurgy brake pad material disclosed by the invention can be used for preparing a
brake pad; the preparation method comprises the following steps: taking Q235 as a base material, and compounding and
sintering the raw materials for preparing the copper-based
powder metallurgy brake pad material and the base material through a
hot pressing sintering technology, so as to obtain the brake pad.
