Abstract

A method is disclosed for producing a friction brake body, in particular a brake disc, which has a main part with a frictional contact region. A wear protection layer is produced on the frictional contact region by way of laser cladding using a laser beam oriented towards the frictional contact region. The wear protection layer is produced by at least one pulverulent additive during the laser cladding. At least two pulverulent additives are added simultaneously such that the dwell time thereof in the laser beam differs.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A method for producing a friction brake body which has a base body with a frictional contact region, comprising:
producing a wear protection layer on the frictional contact region by way of laser cladding using a laser beam directed onto the frictional contact region, wherein the wear protection layer is produced with at least two powdered additives during the laser cladding, wherein the at least two powdered additives enter the laser beam simultaneously, wherein a dwell time in the laser beam of each additive of the at least two additives is of different lengths, wherein each additive of the at least two additives is blown separately into the laser beam by at least one corresponding nozzle as a corresponding material jet, such that each of the additives enters the laser beam before reaching the base body, wherein all material jets of the at least two additives (i) meet at one meeting point in the laser beam, (ii) are mixed with one another at the one meeting point in the laser beam, and wherein the one meeting point is spaced apart from the base body, and wherein the at least two additives are blown into the laser beam at different angles relative to a longitudinal axis of the laser beam.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two additives are blown into the laser beam (i) at equal or different radial distances from a longitudinal axis of the laser beam, and (ii) at equal or different axial heights relative to the base body.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the angles are selected such that each additive of the at least two additives is melted by the laser beam at the one meeting point.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein each additive of the at least two additives is blown in from the at least one corresponding nozzle in a manner diametrically opposite relative to the laser beam.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:
two groups are used as the at least two additives, and the two groups are alloys.

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

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the angles are selected such that each additive of the at least two additives is melted by the laser as completely as possible.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the angles are selected such that each additive of the at least two additives is melted by the laser beam as incompletely as possible.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:
two groups are used as the at least two additives, the two groups are iron-based alloys and hard materials, and the hard materials are compounds of one type including carbides, nitrides, or borides.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one meeting point is a point located on a central longitudinal axis of the laser beam.
