Abstract

The present invention is concerned with a frictional material composition not containing copper as an element or having the content of copper of 0.5 mass % or less, the composition containing a cashew dust; (A) potassium titanate; (B) one or more selected from the group consisting of lithium potassium titanate and magnesium potassium titanate; and (C) one or more selected from the group consisting of zirconium silicate, zirconium oxide, and magnesium oxide, wherein the content of the cashew dust is 1 to 10 mass %, and the content of the component (C) is 11 to 30 mass %.

Claims (26)

1. A frictional material composition not containing copper as an element or having the content of copper of 0.5 mass % or less, the composition comprising:

a cashew dust in an amount of 4 to 9 mass %;

a rubber component in an amount of 1 to 3 mass %;

(A) potassium titanate in an amount of 5 mass % or more;

(B) one or more selected from the group consisting of lithium potassium titanate and magnesium potassium titanate in an amount of 5 mass % or more;

(C) one or more selected from the group consisting of zirconium silicate, zirconium oxide, and magnesium oxide in an amount of 12 to 30 mass %;

one or more selected from the group consisting of iron, tin, zinc, and aluminum in an amount of 0 to 3 mass % as a metal powder or a metal fiber; and

barium sulfate in an amount of 7 to 49 mass %;

wherein a total content of the component (A) and the component (B) is 10 to 30 mass %.

2. The frictional material composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content ratio of the component (A) and the component (B) [(A)/(B)] is from 0.1 to 10 in terms of a mass ratio.

3. The frictional material composition according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more selected from the group consisting of iron, tin, zinc and aluminum is present in an amount of 0.5 to 3 mass %.

4. The frictional material composition according to claim 1 , further comprising a binder in an amount of 5 to 20 mass %.

5. A frictional material not containing copper as an element or having the content of copper of 0.5 mass % or less, the frictional material comprising:

a cashew dust in an amount of 4 to 9 mass %;

a rubber component in an amount of 1 to 3 mass %,

(A) potassium titanate in an amount of 5 mass % or more;

(B) one or more selected from the group consisting of lithium potassium titanate and magnesium potassium titanate in an amount of 5 mass % or more;

(C) one or more selected from the group consisting of zirconium silicate, zirconium oxide, and magnesium oxide in an amount of 12 to 30 mass %,

one or more selected from the group consisting of iron, tin, zinc, and aluminum in an amount of 0 to 3 mass % as a metal powder or a metal fiber;

barium sulfate in an amount of 7 to 49 mass %;

wherein a total content of the component (A) and the component (B) is 10 to 30 mass %, and

wherein the frictional material is produced by molding a friction material composition.

6. The frictional material according to claim 5 , wherein a content ratio of the component (A) and the component (B) [(A)/(B)] is from 0.1 to 10 in terms of a mass ratio.

7. The frictional material according to claim 5 , wherein the one or more selected from the group consisting of iron, tin, zinc, and aluminum is present in an amount of 0.5 to 3 mass %.

8. The frictional material according to claim 5 , further comprising a binder in an amount of 5 to 20 mass %.

9. A friction member comprising the frictional material according to claim 5 and a backing plate integrated therewith.
