1 Introduction to the Project

1.1 Project Background

1.1.1 Product Introduction

The main products of the project are carbon fiber composite material brake shoes. The brake shoes refer to the friction materials fixed to the brake drum or brake disc rotating with the wheel, of which the friction lining and friction liner block bear the external pressure to produce the friction effect to achieve the purpose of deceleration of the car. Generally, the basic requirements for the brake shoes are mainly wearing resistance, big friction coefficient and good heat insulation property. According to the different brake modes, the brake shoes can be divided into the two types, that is, drum brake shoes and disc brake shoes. The carbon fiber composite material brake shoe has some advantages such as high strength, moderate elastic modulus, good heat resistance, low weight, small expansion coefficient and abrasion resistance, etc. All these are the necessary performances for improve the train brake. The carbon fiber composite material high-speed train brake shoe is the friction product made by taking the resin carbon new technique to make the carbon material become the new material containing the resin carbon through the high temperature and pressure. The project can make the train operated in the high speed and high temperature, without heat decline, heat expansion, heat crack and no pollution of the environment. The project is at the domestic leading level.

The carbon fiber composite material brake shoes have got two national patents. It is tested by the Automobile Research Institute and the Friction Sealing Material Research Institute that the key indexes of the product such as friction coefficient, wearing and shearing strength are good, the product quality is stable and the technical level is at the international level. The semi-metal brake shoe used in the train at present will have heat expansion, heat crack, poor safety and stability and short operating life in the high speed and high temperature. The carbon fiber composite material brake shoe can make the train operated in the high speed and high temperature without heat decline, heat expansion, heat crack and no pollution of the environment.

1.1.2 Market Prospects

When the carbon fiber is made to manufacture the brake shoes, the quality of their materials will directly determine the performances of the finished brake shoes; therefore, it is especially important to choose the car bon fiber with the high surface treatment level for producing the good-quality brake shoes. Calculated from the economic perspective, the volume cost of carbon fiber is 5-10 times that of the steel fiber. When it is taken into comprehensive account that the volume content of carbon fiber can be adjusted and mixed between 5%～40%, the power consumption can be reduced 25%～4%, the workers’ labor intensity can be reduced 30% and the productivity of the workshop can be improved 2%, etc., the manufacturing cost of the carbon fiber brake shoes is only a little more than that of the steel fiber shoes. However, viewed from the performance improvement, life expansion and noise reduction, etc., its comprehensive benefits are better.

Analyzed from the demands of the different motor train units for brake shoes, each more than 300km motor train unit needs 160 brake shoes, the imported price of each shoe is 13000-15000 yuan and take 13000 yuan for calculation; there are 3 types of less than 300km trains, the demand of each standard train for brake shoes is 152-192 pieces and the relevant price is 4736-5558 yuan. Because there is no detailed reserve data of different types of trains, in order to facilitate calculation, it is calculated according to the demand of each standard less than 300km train for 175 brake shoes and the price of each piece is 5000 yuan. Analyzed from the rough operating experience data of Beijing-Tianjin Railway, the operating life of the high-speed railway vehicle brake shoe is generally 0.3 million km. Calculated according to the average mileage of 0.9-1 million km/year of the motor train units, the brake shoes should be replaced 3-3.3 times per year and take 3 times per year, it is predicted that the total market scale of domestic high-speed railway vehicle brake shoes will have been 5.906 billion yuan by 2015.

The Ministry of Railway plans that the proportion of the trains with the speed increased will be increased from the current 10% to 50%. With the rapid development of the national economy, there will be more and more high-speed trains, the total quantity of high-speed trains will also be gradually increased and the demand for the high-speed train brake shoes will also become bigger and bigger. Therefore, the high-speed train brake shoes have shown the broad prospect for popularization and application.

1.1.3 Technical Analysis

The technical sources of the project are planned to take the high-speed train carbon fiber composite material brake shoe production process and technique of the Carbon Fiber Engineering Center of Shandong University. The technique has passed the stand test of the Friction Material Test Station of China Railway Material Corporation and the technical appraisal of the Bureau of Science and Technology of Shandong Province in 2001. The industrialized production has been carried out in the Engineering Machine Factory of Shandong Yanzhou Locomotive Depot. The center has developed the high temperature resistant adhesive which can bond well some compositions such as carbon fiber and chosen the carbon fiber, steel fiber and inorganic fiber with the different length-diameter ratio as the mixed fiber reinforced system to establish the sub-microscopic trackless crossing network. The new dry shaping process is taken to break the beaming of carbon fiber and make it scattered and mixed in the ingredients to realize the even distribution. All these have greatly reduced the production cost and improve the heat stability of the brake shoes. The materials can be purchased in Jilin Carbon Fiber Industrialized Base and the domestic market.
