The theme of Master project is very actual nowadays, cause a safety of human life is the biggest purpose in the world. That’s why engineers of automative industry seeks to find newer and newer solutions to create the level of safety as high as possible. And engineers knows, the main system in the vechile to make safely driving – brake system. Nowadays the most efective brake system type – disk brake system. That means disk brake pads are very important part also. The are a lot of manufacturers of brake pads and linings in the world. Commonly the technologycal procedure of brake pads manufacturing can be described as follows: steel back preparation, friction material mixing, preforming, pressing curing, baking, grinding and grooving, painting, printing and packing. The main purpose of this job is to analyze materials for friction material on brake pads and to make efectiveness tests of two different friction materials. Material No.2 mostly consists of steel wool, while material No.1 has just a little bit of steel wood in it. This material is replaced by fibre “Lapinus” and filler – barytes. Comparing the testing results it is obvious the highest friction coefficient has material No.2. Explanation of such results can be following: steel wool creats higher friction level. This analysis is a small part in the brake pads manufacturing world and always there will be newer improvements in this area.
