Effect of Surface Modified Foamed Fe Powder on Tribological Properties of Semi-Metallic Friction Material

Abstract:

The silane coupling agent KH550 is used to modify foamed Fe powder(FFP) surface for obtain the hydrophobic surface, which is the very important component in semi-metallic friction material. It can improve high temperature bonding force between FFP and phenolic resin, further improve friction coefficient stableness of friction material and abrasion resistance. The modification effect of FFP is characterized by IR, and the tribological properties is characterized by XD-MSM constant speed friction test machine, the surface topography is characterized by SEM. The results indicate that FFP has been bonded to silane coupling agent, and formed hydrophobic surface what has the alkyl group. The changing of friction coefficient has reduced 23%, the average wear rate has declined 28.6%,and the wear rate has declined 32% at 350 °C after the friction material with modified FFP compare with the one with original FFP. And those changing are all because of the fact that the FFP modified by KH550 is difficult to peel off during the high temperature.
