Abstract: A method for producing a hybrid component may include placing a metallic insert part into an injection mould, at least one of over-moulding and back-injecting the metallic insert part with a plastic mass, and pretreating a surface of the metallic insert part that is to be at least one of over-moulded and back-injected prior to the at least one of over-moulding and back-injecting. The metallic insert part may be placed into the injection mould such that the metallic insert part protrudes from the plastic mass on at least one side. A material accumulation may be disposed on a transition region from the metallic insert part to the plastic mass.

Abstract: Provided are a brake pad for a disc brake including a resin back plate and a friction material joined to one surface of the resin back plate, in which the resin back plate is formed of a cured product of a first thermosetting resin composition, and a metal reinforcing material is provided on a surface of the resin back plate opposite to the surface joined to the friction material or inside the resin back plate, and a method of manufacturing the brake pad.

Abstract: A brake pad having a layer of friction material integrally moulded with a backing plate, wherein the backing plate having an electroconductive member moulded within a plate of a fibre-reinforced polymer resin, the electroconductive member extending along a plate direction, the backing plate having a front surface forming an interface with a rear surface of the layer of friction material, wherein the electroconductive member is profiled in a thickness direction of the backing plate to provide at least one projection extending towards the interface or into the layer of friction material and arranged to function as a wear indicator for the brake pad. Also disclosed are methods for manufacturing the brake pad.
