Patent number: 10591007Abstract: A brake disc made of fiber-reinforced material includes a braking band having a predetermined thickness. The method for making the brake discs includes setting up a winding mandrel and forming at least one layer of fibers having a predetermined width. The layer of fibers is impregnated with a binder resin. The impregnated layer is wound about the mandrel, forming a hollow cylindrical body having a predefined outer diameter and an inner diameter substantially equivalent to the mandrel diameter. The layer of fibers is wound about the mandrel in a winding direction substantially parallel to the lengthwise direction of the layer. The cylindrical body is heated to at least partly cross-link the binder resin and obtain a solid semi-finished cylindrical body. The cylindrical body is cut in slices transversely to the cylindrical body axis according to predetermined thicknesses. Each slice is a disc-shaped body defining the disc's braking band.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2013Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: PETROCERAMICS S.p.A.Inventors: Massimiliano Valle, Mirco Chiodi, Furio Rozza, Marco Orlandi, Roberto Vavassori

Patent number: 8960384Abstract: Method for making a ceramic matrix material for brake friction components, in particular disc brakes, including the following operational phases: a) prepare a mixture of at least one siliconic type ceramic precursor, particles of hard materials suitable as abrasives, particles of substances suitable as lubricants and particles of metal materials; b) hot-press the mixture to obtain a green body; c) submit the green body to a process of pyrolysis in order to achieve ceramisation of the preceramic binder, thus obtaining a ceramic matrix material. The mixture includes a catalyst suitable for favoring reticulation of the ceramic precursor during the hot-pressing phase and the pyrolysis process is carried out at temperatures below 800° C., more precisely between 400° C. and 600° C.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2008Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Freni Brembo S.p.A.Inventors: Simone Turani, Konstantin Vikulov, Massimiliano Valle, Marco Orlandi

Publication number: 20130284548Abstract: A multi-layered carbon ceramic brake disk has at least one carrier body, and at least one ventilation layer that containing ventilation ducts, and optionally, at least one friction layer. The brake disk is made by joining green bodies of at least one individual carrier body, green bodies of at least one individual ventilation layer, and optionally, green bodies of at least one individual friction layer. The green bodies contain thermoplastic or thermoset polymeric materials, in their solid or cured states, and by subsequent carbonization and ceramicization by infiltration with carbide-forming elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2013Publication date: October 31, 2013Inventors: HANS-MICHAEL GUETHER, LUIGI PERSI, CHRISTOPH KOCH, MARCO ORLANDI, MICHAEL KAHLER
