Ceramic friction linings comprising a material consisting essentially of metal oxides which are present in the form of a sintered ceramic or in the form of ceramic particles bound by carbon and/or carbides, processes for producing them and their use in combination with ceramic friction bodies, in particular for high-performance brakes.

Ceramic materials for friction linings

A ceramic brake lining which is reinforced with carbon fibers and has a matrix which consists essentially of silicon carbide together with silicon and/or carbon, wherein the reinforcing fibers used are long fibers having a mean length of at least 10 mm which are aligned in the plane parallel to the friction surface, a process for its production and its use in combination with brake discs made of C/SiC or CFC or as lining in friction clutches.

Fiber-reinforced ceramic brake linings

Composite which contains reinforcing fibers comprising carbon and whose matrix comprises silicon carbide, silicon and copper, with the mass fraction of copper in the composite being up to 55%, processes for producing it, in particular by liquid infiltration of C/C intermediate bodies with melts comprising Si and/or Cu and Si, and also its use as friction lining in a friction pairing with ceramic brake discs or clutch discs comprising C/SiC.

Composite containing reinforcing fibers comprising carbon

Process for producing hollow bodies comprising fibre-reinforced ceramic materials, where cores whose shape corresponds to that of the hollow spaces are produced in a first step, a green body is produced in a second step by introducing the abovementioned cores and a press moulding compound into a mould, where the press moulding compound comprises carbon fibres and/or carbon threads and pitch and/or resins, the green body is cured in a third step by heating under pressure, and then carbonised in a fourth step by heating in the absence of oxidants to form a C/C body, which latter can be infiltrated with liquid metal with retention of its shape in a fifth step, with at least partial formation of carbides, where the cores comprise a material which is non-meltable but undergoes at least sufficient shrinkage above the curing temperature of the shaping by pressing of the press moulding compound for the shrunken core to be able to be taken out from the carbonised body; hollow bodies produced by this process and also their use as brake disks, clutch disks and friction disks

Process for producing hollow bodies comprising fibre-reinforced ceramic materials

Process for producing hollow bodies comprising fiber-reinforced ceramic materials, where mold cores whose shape corresponds to that of the hollow spaces are produced in a first step, at least one mold core together with a press moulding composition or formable fiber composition are introduced into a mold, where the press moulding composition comprises carbon fibers and/or carbon filaments and thermally curable carbonizable binders, in such a way that the position of the cores corresponds to the desired position of the hollow spaces to be formed in a second step, the composition is cured in a third step by heating to a temperature of from 120&#xb0; C. to 280&#xb0; C., to give a green body, the strengthened green body is carbonized and or graphitized in a fourth step by heating in a nonoxidizing atmosphere to a temperature of from about 750&#xb0; C. to about 2400&#xb0; C. to form a C/C body, wherein heating in the third and/or fourth step is at least partly effected by an electric current being passed through the pressable composition or the green body and through at least one mold core, hollow bodies produced in this way and their use for producing clutch disks or brake disks, in particular for automobiles

Process for producing hollow bodies comprising fiber-reinforced ceramic materials

Process for producing shaped bodies comprising fiber-reinforced ceramic materials, where a green body is produced in a first step by introducing a press moulding composition into a mold, where the press moulding composition comprises carbon fibers and/or carbon filaments and pitch and/or resins which, when treated thermally and with the exclusion of oxidizing agents, form carbon-containing residues, the green body is cured in a second step by heating to a temperature of from 120&#xb0; C. to 280&#xb0; C. under pressure, the cured green body, also referred to as intermediate body, is carbonized in a third step by heating in a nonoxidizing atmosphere to a temperature of from about 750&#xb0; C. to about 1100&#xb0; C. to form a C/C body, wherein heating in the first, second and/or third step is at least partly effected by an electric current being passed through the pressable composition, the green body and/or the cured green body, shaped bodies produced according to this process and their use as brake disks, clutch disks and friction disks

Process for producing shaped bodies comprising fiber-reinforced ceramic materials

Fiber-reinforced ceramic composites contain bundles, tows or hanks of long fibers, wherein the long fiber bundles, tows or hanks are completely surrounded by a short fiber-reinforced matrix, with the long and short fibers having, independently of one another, a mean diameter of from 4 to 12 &mgr;m and the long fibers having a mean length of at least 50 mm and the short fibers having a mean length of not more than 40 mm, a process for producing them and their use for producing clutch disks or brake disks.
