Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a friction material and a brake pad having excellent wear resistance while exhibiting a high friction coefficient under high-temperature and high-speed conditions. A friction material containing: 40 mass % or more and 80 mass % or less of a matrix containing at least one kind selected from the group consisting of Ni and Fe; 10 mass % or more and 30 mass % or less of inorganic particles containing zircon particles, titania particles, and mullite particles; and 10 mass % or more and 30 mass % or less of a lubricant containing at least one kind selected from the group consisting of graphite, molybdenum disulfide, boron nitride and calcium fluoride, wherein a content of the zircon particles is 30 vol % or more and 36 vol % or less, a content of the titania particles is 30 vol % or more and 36 vol % or less, and a content of the mullite particles is 30 vol % or more and 36 vol % or less with respect to a total content of 100 vol % of the zircon particles, the titania particles, and the mullite particles.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A friction material comprising: 40 mass % or more and 80 mass % or less of a matrix containing at least one kind selected from the group consisting of Ni and Fe; 10 mass % or more and 30 mass % or less of inorganic particles containing zircon particles, titania particles, and mullite particles; and 10 mass % or more and 30 mass % or less of a lubricant containing at least one kind selected from the group consisting of graphite, molybdenum disulfide, boron nitride, and calcium fluoride, wherein a content of the zircon particles is 30 vol % or more and 36 vol % or less, a content of the titania particles is 30 vol % or more and 36 vol % or less, and a content of the mullite particles is 30 vol % or more and 36 vol % or less with respect to a total content of 100 vol % of the zircon particles, the titania particles, and the mullite particles. 2. The friction material according to claim 1 , wherein the friction material has a porosity of 14 vol % or more and 30 vol % or less. 3. The friction material according to claim 1 , wherein the matrix is formed of a material containing particles having an average particle diameter of 1 μm or more and less than 50 μm. 4. The friction material according to claim 1 , wherein the matrix contains 0.20 mass % or more and 1.00 mass % or less of P with respect to 100 mass % of the matrix. 5. The friction material according to claim 1 , wherein the matrix contains Ni and Fe. 6. The friction material according to claim 1 , wherein a total content of the zircon particles, the titania particles, and the mullite particles is 80 mass % or more with respect to a total amount of the inorganic particles. 7. The friction material according to claim 1 , wherein the zircon particles have an average particle diameter of 10 μm or more and 600 μm or less, the titania particles have an average particle diameter of 10 μm or more and 600 μm or less, and the mullite particles have an average particle diameter of 10 μm or more and 600 μm or less. 8. The friction material according to claim 1 , wherein the lubricant contains graphite or contains graphite and calcium fluoride. 9. A brake pad comprising the friction material according to claim 1 .
