The invention is directed to the interventionless activation of wellbore devices using dissolving and/or degrading and/or expanding structural materials. Engineered response materials, such as those that dissolve and/or degrade or expand upon exposure to specific environment, can be used to centralize a device in a wellbore.

The present disclosure relates to a fiber-reinforced copper-based brake pad for high-speed railway train, and preparation and friction braking performance thereof. The fiber-reinforced copper-based brake pad for high-speed railway train comprises 80-98.5 wt. % metal powder, 1-15 wt. % non-metal powder and 0.5-5 wt. % fiber component. In addition, some components are added in a specific proportion to achieve optimal performance. The copper-based powder metallurgy brake pad is obtained by powder mixing, cold-pressing and sintering with constant pressure. The friction braking performance of the obtained brake pad is tested according to a braking procedure consisting of three stages, i.e., the first stage with low-pressure and low-speed, the second stage with high-pressure high-speed and the continuous emergency braking third stage with high-pressure and high-speed. The brake pad has advantages including higher and more stable friction coefficient, higher fade and wear resistance and slighter damage to brake disc at high speeds.

A castable, moldable, or extrudable structure using a metallic base metal or base metal alloy. One or more insoluble additives are added to the metallic base metal or base metal alloy so that the grain boundaries of the castable, moldable, or extrudable structure includes a composition and morphology to achieve a specific galvanic corrosion rates partially or throughout the structure or along the grain boundaries of the structure. The insoluble additives can be used to enhance the mechanical properties of the structure, such as ductility and/or tensile strength. The insoluble particles generally have a submicron particle size. The final structure can be enhanced by heat treatment, as well as deformation processing such as extrusion, forging, or rolling, to further improve the strength of the final structure as compared to the non-enhanced structure.
