Abstract:
[Objective] Anti-slip coatings for urban rail transit vehicles are typically applied to the surfaces of objects being contacted, forming a high-friction anti-slip surface, which could enhance the surface roughness and significantly improve frictional force, thereby boosting surface anti-slip performance. With the continuous advancement of urban rail transit vehicle technologies, it is essential to conduct an in-depth study of additives related to vehicle anti-slip coatings. [Method] Taking the mixture of SiC (silicon carbide) staple fiber and conventional anti-slip particles as research object, the high-performance fiber reinforcement agent of SiC staple fiber is incorporated into epoxy resin, and relevant experiments are conducted. The raw material formulas, instruments, and test procedures are introduced. The impact of varying mass fractions of fiber reinforcements agents on the overall performance, aging resistance, wear resistance, and friction coefficient of the coatings is investigated. The influence of fiber reinforcement dosages agent on the coating friction coefficient is studied under two conditions of dry state (′dry′) and wet state (′wet′). [Result & Conclusion] As the mass fraction of fiber reinforcement agent increases: the aging resistance of anti-slip coating significantly improves, with the friction coefficient of film coating peaking at a mass fraction of 10%; while the wear volume of the film coating initially decreases and then increases, reaching its minimum at a fiber reinforcement agent mass fraction of 5%. With the increase of fiber reinforcement agent mass fraction, the friction coefficient of the film coating increases markedly under both dry and wet states, and the wet-state friction coefficient is higher than the dry-state friction coefficient at a given fiber reinforcement agent mass fraction.
