Resin bonded carbonaceous brush and method of manufacturing the same

A carbonaceous material is fabricated by kneading of carbon powder and a binder. The carbonaceous material is granulated such that an average particle diameter of the carbonaceous material is 0.3 mm or more. A brush material is fabricated by mixing of the granulated carbonaceous material and metallic powder. A ratio of the metallic powder to a total weight of the brush material is adjusted to 1% by weight or more and 30% by weight or less. Pressure molding is performed on the fabricated brush material, and thermal processing is further performed on the brush material at a temperature at which a resin in the brush material is not carbonized.
