Özet

In this study, low-steel composite friction materials containing different amount of h-BN were developed for railway vehicles. Addition of h-BN has no considerable effect on mechanical properties of the matrix structure. However, h-BN addition significantly affects friction and wear properties of the matrix material. While h-BN increases coefficient of friction of samples at low disk surface temperatures, it has a reverse effect after the temperature reaches to a critical level of 250-300 degrees C. Also, addition of 1.5 wt% h-BN to the matrix brings about more stable changes in friction coefficient during the braking periods under the extreme conditions as compared to the h-BN-free sample. Furthermore, low h-BN addition into the matrix results in better lubricity properties at relatively high temperatures.
