Two types of friction
materials exists for cars : the sinter material
and the organic material.

 |
Only the sinter
metal material can satisfy the requipements of a
racing car: powerful brakes, heating, use under
water, dust and mud and reactivity by cold use.
|
 |
| The sintered pads
are produced from a metal powders basis. The friction
material is made of at least ten constituents to
the friction mixture. |
 |
| This mixture is
then compressed in a tool which gives its final
shape. The piece is then put on its backplate, and
finally introduced in an oven at 1000°C. |
 |
| It's the sinter
process : the product melts, strenghtens and brazes
on the backplate. The pad is then rectified, controlled
and packed. |
