[0023]
 It described in detail below railcar sintered friction material according to the present invention.
[0024]
 [Chemical composition]
 The present invention according to the railway vehicle sintered friction material, as described above, is used in brake linings and disc brake pads for railway vehicles. Before sintering of the green compact of the sintered friction material contains the following composition (matrix for particulate material, dispersing agent). Here, the green compact is mixed powder which has been formed by cold forming by press. The particle diameter of each particle of the mixed powder as a raw material of the green compact is not particularly limited, but is 1 ~ 1000 .mu.m as an example. The following describes the composition of the mixed powder constituting the green compact. Incidentally, "%" relating to the composition of the mixed powder constituting the green compact means mass%.
[0025]
 [Matrix (base material) for particulate
 material] Cu: 50.0 ~ 75.0%
 copper (Cu) serves as a matrix (base material) of the sintered for railway vehicles sintered friction material. Cu has a high thermal conductivity. Therefore, when the brake can suppress an increase in the interface temperature between the braked member at (Friction at) (brake disk) and sintered friction material inhibits excessive Seizure. Therefore, the wear resistance of the sintered friction material increases. Cu is a matrix further holds a dispersing agent described later are contained in the matrix (lubricant, hard particles). If less than 50.0% Cu content of mixed powder group, not the effect. On the other hand, Cu content if it exceeds 75.0% the friction coefficient is excessively large. In this case, friction due to adhesion with respect to the sliding surface of the brake target (e.g. brake disk) is excessively generated, the wear resistance of the sintered friction material is lowered. Therefore, Cu content is 50.0 to 75.0%. The preferable lower limit of Cu content is 52.0%, still more preferably 53.0%. The preferable upper limit of Cu content is 70.0%, more preferably 67.0%.
[0026]
 Incidentally, the railway vehicle sintered friction material according to the present invention do not contain a rule Ni, Zn and Sn as the matrix. Here, "Principles free" is meant Ni, Zr, not to actively added Sn, Ni, Zn and Sn are meant to be impurities.
[0027]
 Ni is in solid solution in Cu, the matrix of the sintered friction material tends to adhesion to the sliding surface of the braked (brake disks, etc.), abrasion resistance is lowered. Zn and Sn are decreased heat resistance of the matrix is ​​easy to generate a fade. Therefore, the matrix of the sintered friction material Ni, does not contain principles of Zn and Sn.
[0028]
 [Dispersant]
 The above green compact further contains a dispersing agent of the following (1) to (4).
[0029]
 (1) Graphite: from 5.0 to 15.0%
 graphite referred to herein include natural graphite and / or artificial graphite. In sintered friction material after pressure sintering, graphite is contained in the matrix as particles. Graphite serves as a lubricant, the friction coefficient of the sintered friction material stabilized to reduce the amount of wear of the sintered friction material. If the graphite content is less than 5.0%, not the effect. On the other hand, if it exceeds 15.0% graphite content, mixed powder during pressure sintering is not sufficiently sintered, so that the wear resistance of the sintered friction material is lowered. Accordingly, the graphite content is 5.0 to 15.0%. The preferable lower limit of the graphite content is 8.0%, more preferably from 9.0%. The preferable upper limit of the graphite content is 13.0%, more preferably 12.0%.
[0030]
 (2) magnesia, zircon sand, silica, zirconia, one or more selected from the group consisting of mullite and silicon nitride: 1.5 to 15.0%
 magnesia (MgO), zircon sand (ZrSiO 4 ), silica (SiO 2 ), zirconia (ZrO 2 ), mullite (3Al 2 0 3 · 2SiO 2 ~ 2Al 2 0 3 · SiO 2 ), and silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) any functions as hard particles. In sintered friction material after pressure sintering, these ceramics are contained in the matrix as particles. All of these ceramics also, by scratching the sliding surface of the braked (brake disks, etc.), to remove an oxide film generated on the sliding surface, stable to generate adhesion. This can suppress the reduction of the friction coefficient for braking target sintered friction material (brake disks, etc.), obtained excellent friction characteristics. If the total content of one or more selected from the group consisting of ceramics is less than 1.5%, it can not be obtained excellent friction characteristics. On the other hand, the total content of one or more selected from the group consisting of ceramic if it exceeds 15.0%, sinterability of the sintered friction material is lowered. In this case, the wear resistance of the sintered friction material is lowered. Therefore, the total content of one or more selected from the group consisting of ceramics is 1.5 to 15.0%. A preferred lower limit of 1 or more of the total content is selected from those of the ceramic group was 2.0%, more preferably from 4.0%. The preferable upper limit of one or more of the total content is selected from those of the ceramic group was 12.0 percent, still more preferably 10.0%.
[0031]
 (3) W and one or more selected from the group consisting of Mo: 3.0 ~ 30.0%
 tungsten (W) and molybdenum (Mo) either serves as the hard particles. W and Mo, without a solid solution in a matrix of Cu, contained in the matrix as particles. W and Mo are both, by being contained together with the Fe-based alloy particles described below, increase the wear resistance of the sintered friction material. If it is less than 1 or more of the total content is 3.0% which is selected from the group consisting of W and Mo, the effect can not be obtained. On the other hand, the total content of one or more selected from the group consisting of W and Mo is if it exceeds 30.0%, sinterability of the sintered friction material is lowered. In this case, the wear resistance of the sintered friction material is lowered. Thus, one or more of the total content is selected from the group consisting of W and Mo are 3.0 to 30.0%. A preferred lower limit of 1 or more of the total content is selected from the group consisting of W and Mo is 3.5%, more preferably 4.0%. The preferable upper limit of one or more of the total content is selected from the group consisting of W and Mo was 25.0%, more preferably 20.0%.
[0032]
 (4) ferrochrome, ferro tungsten, ferro molybdenum, and, one or more selected from the group consisting of stainless steel: 2.0 to 20.0%
 ferrochromium (FeCr), ferrotungsten (FeW), ferromolybdenum (FeMo) and either stainless steel, without solid solution in the matrix, is contained in the matrix as particles. In this specification, ferrochrome, ferro tungsten, ferro molybdenum, and, collectively referred to as Fe-based alloy particles stainless steel. Both of these Fe-based alloy particles, enhance the abrasion resistance of the sintered friction material. Although the reason is not clear, but is likely due to one of the following reasons.
[0033]
 Hardness of Fe alloy particles is higher than the matrix (Cu). Fe-based alloy particles further above ceramics (magnesia, zircon sand, silica, zirconia, mullite and silicon nitride) as compared to the affinity for the matrix is ​​high, not easily peeled off from the matrix. Therefore, Fe-based alloy particles increase the abrasion resistance of the sintered friction material. This effect, that with one or more selected from the group consisting of W and Mo are contained in the matrix, even higher. Fe-based alloy particles particularly enhance the abrasion resistance of the low-speed range to medium speed range, W and Mo are considered particularly enhance the abrasion resistance at high speed range.
[0034]
 If the total content of the Fe-based alloy particles is less than 2.0%, the wear resistance of the sintered friction material is lowered. On the other hand, the total content of the Fe-based alloy particles if it exceeds 20.0%, sinterability of the sintered friction material is lowered. In this case, the wear resistance of the sintered friction material is lowered. Accordingly, the total content of the Fe-based alloy particles is 2.0 to 20.0%. A preferred lower limit of the Fe-based alloy particles is 3.0%, more preferably from 4.0%. The preferable upper limit of the Fe-based alloy particles is 18.0%, still more preferably 16.0%.
