The invention discloses preparation for the
brake pad of a high-speed
train via a
powder metallurgy method and by taking dispersion-strengthened
copper as a matrix material. According to the
oxide dispersion-strengthened
copper, a
copper matrix is strengthened by
oxide dispersion particles, and the dispersion-strengthened copper chooses dispersion-strengthened copper
powder in which
nanometre Al2O3 is in a ratio of 0.03-5% by weight; and the formula of the
brake pad comprises 50-70wt% of dispersion-strengthened copper
powder, 5-20wt% of Fe powder, 4-15wt% of (flaky) C powder, 1-10wt% of SiO2 powder, 1-7wt% of Al2O3 powder, 1-7wt% of Sn powder, 1-3wt% of Pb powder, and 1-10wt% of MoS2 powder. The dispersion-strengthened copper-based
brake pad is obtained by uniformly mixing the powders in a ratio, moulding by cold-pressing, then performing pressure
sintering with a steel backing. Compared with the traditional copper-based
brake pad, the
brake pad taking the dispersion-strengthened copper as a matrix is enhanced in
matrix strength, high in
thermal conductivity, good in stability, good in fatigue performance and
wear resistance, and less in wear on dual discs.
