Abstract: A friction assembly has a support plate, at least one brake pad and at least one reinforcing foil of the plate. The brake pad and the support plate are co-moulded from at least one heat-resistant resin. The reinforcing foil is fixed to the support plate via anchoring projections, joined to and which extend away from the foil, embedded in the resin to prevent or limit deformations of the support plate in the use of the assembly.

Abstract: The invention illustrates a material for friction components of disc brakes comprising between 1% and 8% by weight of at least one preceramic resin and between 2% and 10% by weight of at least one organic resin. It also illustrates a friction component for a disc brake, a disc brake, and a process for producing such a material.

Abstract: Brake pad for braking systems, in particular for disc brakes, consisting of friction portion (10), tribologically active, and mechanical support portion (20) which is intended to cooperate with the actuating means of a braking system. At least friction portion (10) is made from a ceramic matrix material obtained with a method comprising the following operational steps: —preparing a mixture of at least one siliconic type ceramic precursor, of particles of hard materials suitable as abrasives, of particles of substances suitable as lubricants and particles of metal materials;—hot-pressing the mixture to obtain a preformed body;—submitting the preformed body to a process of pyrolysis in order to obtain ceramisation of the preceramic binder, thus obtaining the ceramic matrix material. The mixture comprises a catalyst suitable for favouring reticulation of said ceramic precursor during the hot-pressing step and the pyrolysis process is carried out a temperatures below 8000° C.
