Summary
The mechanical properties, frictional performances, and friction film evolution of
Al2O3 enhanced copper-based braking materials was investigated. The samples of
copper-based composites reinforced with Al2O3 or not were fabricated by powder
metallurgy procedures. The density, porosity, hardness and compression strength
were examined. The friction performances of samples were conducted under braking
speeds of 160-320 Km/h in dry air environment using an MM1000-II inertial friction
test machine. For pure copper-based sample (CU), the coefficient of friction (CF)
decreased from 0.302 to 0.226 as braking speed increased, while the CF of
Al2O3/Cu-based sample (AC) stabilized about 0.301. Microstructure observations
were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for cross-section and
surface of friction layer. It can be concluded that the key distinction between the
stable friction and fading friction appears to lie in the friction film evolution which
is affected by the strengthening of Al2O3 particles.
