采用半固态搅拌熔炼-液态模锻工艺制备了与Santana轿车前制动器相匹配的SiC颗粒增强铝基复合材料制动盘，对该制动盘进行了材料拉伸性能和微观结构分析，并在SCHENCK制动试验台上进行了制动性能和制动磨损试验。结果表明，复合材料的拉伸性能优于传统制动盘材料HT250铸铁；在各种制动工况条件下，复合材料制动盘对制动衬片的摩擦系数均在大众公司企业标准规定的范围之内，且较稳定；此外，复合材料制动盘质轻、耐磨，制动噪音小、温升低，运转平稳；因此，可望以其替代传统的铸铁制动盘，提高制动器的安全可靠性和服役寿命，减轻轿车悬挂系统的重量，降低油耗。

The SiCP/Al composite brake disc designed for the front brake of SANTANA cars was prepared by semi-solid stirring melting and liquid forging. The tensile properties and microstructures of the disc materials were examined, and the tribological-wear performances of the disc were tested on the SCHENCK brake testing system made in Germany. The results show that the tensile properties of the composites are superior to those of the conventional disc material, grey cast iron; and that under different braking conditions, the friction coefficients of the composite disc against the conventional brake pad are within the range specified by the standard of VOLKSWAGEN company and with small fluctuations. It is also found that the brake disc made of the composite has such advantages as light weight, high wear resistance, low braking noise and low braking temperature rises, smooth operating, etc. Hence, it is hopeful to substitute the composite disc for the traditional cast iron disc to increase reliability and to prolong the survice life of the car brake, to lighten the weight of the hanging system, and thus, to decrease gas expenditure of cars.
