Abstract:
A process for manufacturing a brake lining made of a fiber-reinforced ceramic C/SiC material, comprising:producing a carbon fiber body having at least one of a defined volume of pores and capillaries;infiltrating the carbon fiber body with at least one of carbon or a carbon precursor;pressing the infiltrated carbon fiber body, thereby forming a green compact;pyrolyzing the green compact, thereby forming a porous C/C body;adjusting at least one of a pore and a capillary volume of the porous C/C body to maximally approximately 60% by volume; andinfiltrating the C/C body with liquid silicon so that carbon, at least in an area of pores and capillaries which is close to the surface, becomes silicon carbide.
