Abstract

A friction brake body for a friction brake of a motor vehicle, in particular a brake disk, includes a base body made in particular from gray cast iron and having at least one wear resistant layer formed on a friction contact surface of the base body. The wear resistant layer is made from ferritic-austenitic steel and includes an incorporated hard material particle, in particular finely distributed hard material particle.

Claims (29)

1. A friction brake element for a friction brake of a motor vehicle, comprising:

a main element having a frictional contact surface;

at least one antiwear layer disposed on the frictional contact surface, the at least one antiwear layer formed of ferritic-austenitic steel and having embedded hard material particles; and

an intermediate layer composed of pure ferritic-austenitic steel disposed between the at least one antiwear layer and the main element.

2. The friction brake element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one antiwear layer comprises chromium and/or nitrogen in order to increase the corrosion resistance.

3. The friction brake element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hard material particles have an average particle size of less than 50 μm.

4. The friction brake element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hard material particles include carbides, oxides, nitrides or borides.

5. The friction brake element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a proportion of hard material particles is less than or equal to 70% by volume of the at least one antiwear layer.

6. The friction brake element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the friction brake element is a brake disk.

7. The friction brake element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main element is formed of gray cast iron.

8. The friction brake element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the embedded hard material particles are finely distributed hard material particles.

9. A process for producing a friction brake element for a friction brake of a motor vehicle comprising:

forming a main element with at least one antiwear layer forming a frictional contact surface, the at least one antiwear layer formed of ferritic-austenitic steel having embedded hard material particles; and

applying an intermediate layer composed of pure ferritic-austenitic steel to the main element before application of the at least one antiwear layer.

10. The process as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the forming of the main element further comprises applying the at least one antiwear layer to the main element by laser buildup welding or thermal spraying.

11. The process as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the forming of the main element further comprises alloying the at least one antiwear layer with chromium and/or nitrogen.

12. The process as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the forming of the main element further comprises finely distributing the hard material particles in the at least one antiwear layer.

13. The process as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the hard material particles have an average particle size of less than 50 μm.

14. The process as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the hard material particles include carbides, oxides, nitrides or borides.

15. The process as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising:

mechanically pretreating the main element before application of the at least one antiwear layer.

16. The process as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the friction brake element is a brake disk.

17. The process as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the main element is formed of gray cast iron.

18. A friction brake for a motor vehicle, comprising:

at least one brake disk comprising:

a main element having a frictional contact surface; and

at least one antiwear layer disposed on the frictional contact surface, the at least one antiwear layer formed of ferritic-austenitic steel and having embedded hard material particles; and

an intermediate layer composed of pure ferritic-austenitic steel disposed between the at least one antiwear layer and the main element; and

at least one movable brake pad assigned to the brake disk.
