Abstract

In this study, the effect of sintering temperature on the physical, chemical and tribological effects of sintered automotive friction materials was investigated. Using the powder metallurgy method, 3 different samples were produced with the codes A1, A6 and A11. Mixing, pressing and sintering processes were applied respectively as production steps. Mixing time is 90 minutes, speed is 15 rpm. The pressing pressure is 250 MPa and the duration is 1 min. The sintering temperature was 800 °C and the sintering time was 1, 6 and 11 hours, respectively. The sintering process was carried out in the sintering mold using Argon gas. As the sintering time increased, it was observed that there was an increase in the time-dependent friction coefficients of the samples. Increasing the sintering time also increased the density of the samples. As the sintering time increased, the gap in the sample decreased, as it provided better bonding of the dustsers.
