  • Mold for brake pad friction material, manufacturing apparatus, manufacturing method, preform, and brake pad
    Patent number: 10144189
    Abstract: A mold of a brake pad friction material, including a mold member fitted into a mold frame into which a powder material of the brake pad friction material is put, in which the mold member is configured such that a pressing surface in a surface of the mold member, which forms a region abutting the powder material put into a mold frame, has a concave shape that is formed by being gradually recessed from both end portion sides to a center portion side of the pressing surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 17, 2014
    Date of Patent: December 4, 2018
    Assignee: AKEBONO BRAKE INDUSTRY CO., LTD.

  • Friction material composition and friction material
    Patent number: 9656921
    Abstract: A friction material composition including a fiber base material, a friction modifier and a binder. A content of copper in the friction material composition is 0.5% by mass or less. The friction material composition includes a partially graphitized coke and muscovite. A friction material is formed by molding the friction material composition.
