To investigate the effect of silicon carbide content on the thermal, mechanical, and tribological properties of resin-based friction materials, four kinds of friction materials reinforced with different silicon carbide content were prepared by hot pressing and sintering. The experimental results show that with the increase of silicon carbide content, the hardness, compressive strength, and compressive modulus of the friction material first increase and then decrease. When the mass fraction of silicon carbide is 5%, they reach the maximum values of 42.50 HRA, 332.323 MPa, and 1099 MPa, respecti...
