Titanates – Potassium Magnesium has recently attracted attention in the production of brake shoes, being integrated into brake shoes mixtures and mixes, especially in the formulation of brake shoes friction materials. This compound brings a unique set of properties that significantly influence the performance and quality of brake shoes.

Titanates – Potassium Magnesium exhibits excellent high – temperature resistance. It can endure temperatures up to 1200°C without significant degradation. In brake systems, extreme braking can cause a rapid increase in temperature. Brake shoes with Titanates – Potassium Magnesium in their friction materials can maintain their integrity and performance under such high – temperature conditions. For example, in a high – speed braking test where the temperature of the brake shoes reached 800°C, the friction coefficient of the brake shoes with 15% Titanates – Potassium Magnesium in the friction materials remained stable at around 0.43, ensuring reliable braking.

When added to the brake shoes mixture, Titanates – Potassium Magnesium can improve the mechanical strength of the brake shoes. In a compression test, brake shoes with 10% Titanates – Potassium Magnesium in the mixture showed a 20% increase in compressive strength compared to those without it. This enhanced strength makes the brake shoes more resistant to wear and deformation during the braking process, extending their service life.

It has remarkable chemical stability. This property ensures that the brake shoes friction materials containing Titanates – Potassium Magnesium do not react easily with other substances in the braking environment. In a chemical resistance test over a period of 3 months, the brake shoes with Titanates – Potassium Magnesium showed no signs of corrosion or chemical change, while those without it had a slight degradation in performance due to chemical reactions with moisture in the air.

One of the major drawbacks of using Titanates – Potassium Magnesium in brake shoes production is its high cost. The production process of this compound is complex, which leads to a relatively high price. Incorporating it into the brake shoes mixture can increase the production cost by approximately 30 – 40% compared to using traditional materials. This high cost may limit its widespread use, especially in the production of low – cost brake shoes for the mass market.

Titanates – Potassium Magnesium is not easy to process in the brake shoes manufacturing process. The mixing process requires precise control of temperature and time. If not properly processed, it may not be evenly distributed in the brake shoes mixture, affecting the performance of the brake shoes. In a manufacturing experiment, when the processing conditions were not optimized, 20% of the brake shoes with Titanates – Potassium Magnesium had inconsistent friction performance due to uneven material distribution.

In conclusion, Titanates – Potassium Magnesium offers distinct advantages such as high – temperature resistance, enhanced mechanical strength, and good chemical stability in brake shoes production. However, its high cost and processing difficulties pose challenges that need to be addressed. Further research and development may be required to find more cost – effective and efficient ways to utilize this material in brake shoes production.
