Friction Material

Friction material covers working surfaces of the disk clutch, brake shoes and brake pads. It must have a high friction coefficient, withstand high temperatures and wear down very minimal during the course of its work. Traditionally were used different mixtures (or fabrics) to create friction materials even with asbestos, but recently it has been banned in all the most important and industrialized countries due to his dangerous dusts. Nowadays are frequently used friction materials obtained by sintetizing (metals or ceramic merals). Mounted on race tracks we can find carbon disks, brakes and pads
