FRICTION MEMBER AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18603012 titled 'FRICTION MEMBER AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
The abstract describes a friction member consisting of a stainless-steel-based sintered body with pores filled with a silicone-based resin material, which has specific absorption peak intensity ratios in an infrared spectroscopic analysis.
- The friction member is made of a stainless-steel-based sintered body with pores.
- The pores are filled with a resin material, specifically a silicone-based resin material.
- The resin material has a maximum absorption peak intensity ratio in an infrared spectroscopic analysis.
- The ratio is calculated based on the stretching vibrations of Si—H bonds and Si—O—Si bonds.
- The ratio must be 0.10 or more to meet the criteria set in the patent application.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for brake pads and clutch systems - Industrial machinery for friction components - Aerospace industry for high-performance applications

Original Abstract Submitted
A friction member includes a stainless-steel-based sintered body having a pore, and a resin material that is present in at least one portion of an inside of the pore, wherein the resin material is a silicone-based resin material, and has a maximum absorption peak intensity ratio Ia/Ib of 0.10 or more in a spectrum acquired based on an infrared spectroscopic analysis, where Ia is a maximum absorption peak intensity caused by stretching vibration of Si—H bond in a range of 2079 cmto 2415 cm, and Ib is a maximum absorption peak intensity caused by stretching vibration of Si—O—Si bond in a range of 1000 cmto 1070 cm.
