Research Abstract |
In the present study, new thermoplastic resin composite materials and copper alloy composite materials filled with RB ceramics particles, which are hard porous carbon materials RB Ceramics made from rice bran, were developed. The thermoplastic resin/RB ceramics composites and copper alloy/RB ceramics composites showed low friction and high wear resistance as well as low aggression against mating surfaces. It was demonstrated that the copper alloy/RB ceramics composites are available as new pantograph slider materials for current collector of railway.
