What is the material of clutch friction plates?
1 Answers
Clutch friction plates are made of powder metallurgy materials, asbestos-based materials, and paper-based materials. The main requirements for friction plate materials are: 1. Large and stable friction coefficient, with the dynamic friction coefficient as close as possible to the static friction coefficient; 2. High strength, capable of withstanding impact, and not prone to cracking or peeling at high speeds; 3. Wear-resistant, heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, with good thermal conductivity and small thermal deformation; 4. Should not adhere when left stationary for long periods; 5. Long service life and easy to process. Friction plates are the main components of friction clutches, and the physical properties and mechanical performance of their working surface materials directly affect the clutch's performance.
