Abstract
A green manufacturing process characterized by recycle of raw materials, non-pollution of asbestos, and non-disposal of industrial waste was developed to prepare paper-type friction materials, using carbon fiber as the reinforcing agent and recycled raw paper marginal waste as the supplement of the raw material prior to the impregnating stage. The paper-type friction materials were thus prepared making used of the developed green process. The friction and wear behavior of the resulting paper-type friction material was comparatively investigated with that of a reference specimen made by the same process without introduction of the recycled raw paper waste, by conducting inertia testing and constant-velocity friction testing. The friction and wear behavior of the newly developed paper-type friction material was also compared with that of an exported commercial specimen. It was found that the recycling rate of the raw materials for the developed green process was as high as 80%-95%. The paper-type friction material prepared using the developed green process had a large dynamic friction coefficient, good dynamic friction stability, and small static friction coefficient and wear rate. Thus it could be used as a kind of novel paper-type friction material of good performance.
