Abstract

A friction brake body, in particular a brake disc, for a friction brake of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The friction brake body has a main part with at least one wear protection layer on at least one frictional contact region of the main part. The wear protection layer forms a frictional contact surface on the wear protection layer face facing away from the main part. The degree of hardness of the wear protection layer increases incrementally or continuously from the main part to the frictional contact surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A friction brake body for a friction brake of a motor vehicle, comprising:
a main part;
a first wear protection layer located on the main part and comprising a carbon content of less than 0.1% by weight, a first degree of hardness of the first wear protection layer is greater than a degree of hardness of the main part;
a second wear protection layer arranged on the first wear protection layer and comprising a carbon content from 0.1% by weight to 1.0% by weight, a second degree of hardness of the second wear protection layer is greater than the first degree of hardness of the first wear protection layer; and
a third wear protection layer arranged on the second wear protection layer and comprising a carbon content greater 1.0% by weight, a third degree of hardness of the third wear protection layer is greater than the second degree of hardness of the second wear protection layer,
wherein the third wear protection layer is configured to form a frictional contact surface facing away from the main part.

2. The friction brake body according to claim 1 , wherein:
the first wear protection layer has a first proportion of carbide-forming elements and carbon,
the second wear protection layer has a second proportion of carbide-forming elements and carbon that is greater than the first proportion, and
the third wear protection layer has a third proportion of carbide-forming elements and carbon that is greater than the second proportion.

3. The friction brake body according to claim 2 , wherein a ratio of the carbide-forming elements and the carbon is selected such that carbon atoms are completely, or nearly completely, bound in carbides formed from the carbide-forming elements.

4. The friction brake body according to claim 2 , wherein;
when chromium is used in an alloy forming the first, second, and third wear protection layers, other carbide-forming elements are included in the alloy, and
the other carbide-forming elements have a higher carbon affinity than chromium.

5. The friction brake body according to claim 2 , wherein vanadium, niobium, tungsten, titanium and/or chromium are the carbide-forming elements.

6. A friction brake for a motor vehicle, comprising:
at least one friction brake body according to claim 1 ; and
at least one brake pad assigned to the at least one friction brake body, the at least one brake pad displaceable relative to the at least one friction brake body.

7. A method for producing a friction brake body according to claim 1 , for a friction brake of a motor vehicle, comprising:
producing the friction brake body from a main part having at least one wear protection layer on at least one frictional contact region of the main part, in such a way that the at least one wear protection layer forms a frictional contact surface on the wear protection layer facing away from the main part,
wherein the at least one wear protection layer is produced with a degree of hardness that increases incrementally or continuously from the main part to the frictional contact surface.

8. The friction brake body according to claim 1 , wherein the friction brake body is a brake disc.

9. The friction brake body according to claim 1 , wherein the first wear protection layer is a ductile buffer layer.

10. The friction brake body according to claim 1 , wherein the second wear protection layer is configured to reduce thermomechanical stresses in the first wear protection layer and the third wear protection layer.

11. The friction brake body according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon content in the first, second, and third wear protection layers increases degressively from the main part to the frictional contact surface.
