Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of fabricating a friction part out of composite material, the method including densifying a carbon yarn fiber preform with a matrix including at least pyrolytic carbon and a ZrO x C y phase, where 1≤x≤2 and 0≤y≤1, the matrix being formed by film-boiling or by chemical vapor infiltration from a first precursor for pyrolytic carbon and a second precursor that includes zirconium, the second precursor being a zirconium complex including an alcoxy or carboxylate ligand bonded to zirconium.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of fabricating a friction part out of composite material, the method comprising: densifying a carbon yarn fiber preform with a matrix comprising at least pyrolytic carbon and a ZrO x C y phase, where 1≤x≤2 and 0≤y≤1, the matrix being formed by film-boiling from a film-boiling bath comprising a first precursor for pyrolytic carbon and a second precursor that includes zirconium, the second precursor being a zirconium complex comprising an alkoxy or carboxylate ligand bonded to zirconium, wherein the ZrO x C y phase is formed by film-boiling from the second precursor, and wherein the content by weight of the second precursor in the film-boiling bath lies in the range 3% to 30%. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the alcoxy or carboxylate ligand is a C 2 to C 10 ligand. 3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the alcoxy or carboxylate ligand is selected from: propoxy ligand; butoxy ligand; or 2-ethylhexanoate ligand. 4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the second precursor is selected from: zirconium propoxide; zirconium butoxide; zirconium ethyl-2-hexanoate; and mixtures thereof. 5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising deoxygenation heat treatment of the ZrO x C y phase that has been formed. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the optionally deoxygenated ZrO x C y phase is present in the final part at a content by weight lying in the range 0.5% to 25%. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the friction part is a brake disk.
