Investigation on the Fabrication and Properties of the Cu Base Friction Composites

Abstract:

Cu-based friction materials were prepared by powder metallurgy technology. The effect of Fe content on friction and wear properties of Cu-based friction materials has been investigated. The results indicate that Fe content has great effects on the wear ability of Cu-based friction materials. Fe works as frictional component in copper-based friction materials, influening the mechanical and frictional property of materials. With increasing Fe content, the hardness and friction coefficient of Cu-based friction materials stability increase, the wear rate of the friction materials decreases. When Fe content is 6%, the materials posses stably high friction factors, as well as good wear ability.
