Abstract

La présente invention porte sur un procédé et sur un composant de frein capable de manière surprenante de performances structurelles élevées, dans lequel sont disposés un premier matériau granulaire (2) apte au frittage, capable de performances structurelles élevées et un second matériau liant (3) constituant une charge volumétrique, lequel est capable de séparer partiellement les uns des autres les granules du premier matériau granulaire de frittage (2); une quantité prédéterminée des premiers matériaux granulaires de frittage étant apte à constituer le cœur d'un insert (4) et étant disposé dans un moule (5 ; 14) ; on mélange le premier matériau de frittage (2) dans des proportions préétablies avec le second matériel de remplissage volumétrique (3) ; on dispose le mélange (6) des premier et second matériaux dans un moule (7 ; 14) pour ledit insert (4) ; on comprime le premier matériau de frittage à une pression prédéterminée ; on comprime le mélange du premier et second matériau à une pression prédéterminée ; le second matériau de remplissage volumétrique se volatilise alors que le frittage du premier matériau commence, générant ainsi des porosités (8) là où se trouvait le second matériau ; on exécute le frittage du premier matériau, de manière à former ainsi un insert (4) ; on introduit ledit insert (4) dans une matrice (9) pour la mise en œuvre du composant du système de freinage ; on injecte un troisième matériau (10) dans ladite matrice (9) à une température et une pression préétablies afin de former le corps (11) du composant de système de freinage, en incorporant ledit insert (4) dans le corps, de telle sorte que le troisième matériau (10) s'infiltre dans lesdites porosités (8) de l'insert (4), de façon à ancrer ainsi fermement ledit insert (4) sur ledit corps (11), sans modifier de manière notable les propriétés du matériau fritté (2).
