The Effects of Micro-Hardness of Cu Based Friction Materials to Wear Rates and the Wear Rates Ratio of the Pair and the Friction Materials

Abstract:

The four kinds of Cu based friction materials with different micro-hardness were fabricated by sintering method, the Ti content of four kinds of Cu based friction material is 8%, 12%, 16% and 20%, respectively. The tribological properties were carried out on ring-to-block tester. The results show that the wear rates and the wear rates ratio of the pair and the friction material with lower micro-hardness were lower than that of friction material with higher micro-hardness, and lower wear rates ratio of pair and friction materials (WRRPF) is very helpful for protecting pair of friction materials.
