Carbon friction materials are characterized by their outstanding thermal performance, high wear resistance, as well as noise, vibrations and harshness. Nitron MC, a type of carbon coating that provides low friction and good wear performance is one example.
The specimens with copper replaced in the AG, NG, and CF showed lower wear and COF than the NAO. SEM was used to study the morphologies and wear patterns of these carbonaceous components with copper replacement.
The carbon-coated components exhibited a 1200% improvement in wear resistance over those with nitrided coatings. This is mainly due to the formation of a tribochemical lm, consisting of zinc compounds.
The results of the optical microscope examination (Figs. 8, 9, and 10) reveal the tribological properties of carbon coatings. The worn surfaces of the AG, NG, and CF specimens exhibit large sized and quite adherent friction layers. They also show few cracks and sub-cracks and a smooth surface, which may be due to the soft lamellar structure of graphite.
In the case CF, a stable, well-established COF is observed. On the other hand, the NAO specimen has a stair shape and a low coefficient of friction. These results suggest a positive tribological effect of friction-induced physical or chemical interactions when there is a close synergistic relation between base oil additives. These characteristics are essential for municipal filter systems that require less backwash water and lower head loss than singular sand filters, resulting in reduced operational and capital costs.
To solve the problem of deep processing anthracite and to utilize high sulfur resources, a new frictional material was developed. The copperless friction materials have undergone a study of their mechanical, thermal, and tribological characteristics. The friction materials are mainly composed of raw coal with low sulfur, floated with ash below 6% and sulphur below 2%, as well as volatile matter under 13%. Other components include copper powders produced by electrolysis, with a 100 mm particle size, tin, and elemental graphite GE-1.
The copper-free copper base friction materials, with a resin-to-FRITMAG ratio of 0.25 to 0.5, showed stable COF curves in wear tests. Carbonaceous additives improved the lubrication properties of friction composites. The worn surfaces of the NG and EG specimens show large-sized, smooth and quite adherent friction layers, with few cracks and sub-cracks. The graphite's lamellar and softer structure contributes to the phenomenon. The copperless copper-base friction materials with a carbonaceous addition have better wear resistance than other copperless copper-based friction materials.
Except for three raw anthracites the thermal conductivity in the anthracite sample was correlated to the matrix density. In contrast to bituminous coal, rank was not a significant factor in the determination of the thermal conductivity of anthracite.
All anthracite samples showed a relatively high irreversible discharge capacity and a low coulombic efficiency. This behavior is attributed to the formation of a solid electrolyte interlayer (SEI) during the charging and discharging process.
The SEM and TEM morphology as well as the EDS maps of RAW athanthracite reveal that this material is composed primarily of crystalline structures with graphite-like properties. The morphology and EDS map of CHEM athracite are different (Fig. The 4b & c images show that the treatment process has effectively removed impurities. This is consistent with the TGA and XRD results shown above. It is therefore possible to conclude the anthracite's performance in Na-ion battery can be improved by chemical treatment. Moreover, the improvement in lubrication and wear resistance is maintained for a long time.
The friction materials possess good mechanical properties, and they can be applied in many different applications. Operating conditions influence the tribological behavior and thermal behavior. The effects of friction include temperature increase, degradation of polymers, and surface wear. These phenomena can be exacerbated by high operating temperatures and pressures.
The friction material is composed of copper powders and tin. It also contains elemental graphite GE-1. The copper powders have a mean particle size of about 100 mm. The tin has a melting point of 240degC, and the elemental graphite has a Young's modulus of about 107 GPa. These components are pressed together with an organic resin of the phenolic type, resorcinol-formaldehyde, or epoxy. This type of carbon-based friction material can be used to make brake and clutch linings, which must be able resist a high temperature range as well as load velocity over a long period of time. The invention discloses also a method of preparing such carbon-base friction materials from high sulfur anthracite.
