Abstract
Abstract In this study, brake linings with Cu (copper)-based and Cu-10Sn (bronze)-based matrix structures have been developed and produced by the powder metallurgy method using sinter metal technology for use in high-speed trains. The developed linings were compared with commercial high-speed train linings. Firstly, the mixing process was carried out in a Turbulo 3V three-dimensional mixer for 4.5 h at 50 rpm. The pressing process was performed at room temperature, under the pressure of 350–450 MPa, and the sintering temperature for Cu-based linings was 1,000 °C, while for Cu-10Sn-based linings, it was 800 °C. After the pressing and sintering processes, lining sample density calculations were conducted, and hardness tests were carried out in the Rockwell L scale. Shear strength tests, friction coefficient, and wear tests were conducted according to SAE J 661 standards. It was observed that sinter metal brake linings with Cu and Cu-10Sn main matrix structures showed similar properties and met the technical requirements. It was determined that the developed production prescriptions are promising for industrial production and patent studies.
