BRAKE PAD FOR BRAKING SYSTEMS, IN PARTICULAR FOR DISC BRAKES

摘要

Method for making a ceramic matrix material for brake friction components, in particular disc brakes, including the following operational phases: a) prepare a mixture of at least one siliconic type ceramic precursor, particles of hard materials suitable as abrasives, particles of substances suitable as lubricants and particles of metal materials; b) hot-press the mixture to obtain a green body; c) submit the green body to a process of pyrolysis in order to achieve ceramisation of the preceramic binder, thus obtaining a ceramic matrix material. The mixture includes a catalyst suitable for favoring reticulation of the ceramic precursor during the hot-pressing phase and the pyrolysis process is carried out at temperatures below 800° C., more precisely between 400° C. and 600° C.
