AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Brake pads require a time-consuming bedding-in process to achieve optimal performance, which can lead to heat buildup and damage to the brake disc due to rapid application, and surface glazing reduces efficiency and shortens service life.

Method used

A surface coating on the brake pad's tribological surface, formulated to rapidly generate a transfer layer with similar friction properties to the friction lining, reduces the embedding process duration and protects the brake disc from heat-induced distortion.

Benefits of technology

The surface coating accelerates the bedding-in process, improving braking performance and extending the brake lining's service life while preventing heat-related damage to the brake disc.

Abstract

brake pad (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100) comprising: a support plate (101) with a mounting surface (103), a friction lining (105) attached to the mounting surface (103) and having a tribological surface (107) which runs parallel to the mounting surface (103) within a specified tolerance; and a surface coating (109) which is attached to a part of the tribological surface (107) using an adhesive and which, when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the tribological surface (107), has a predetermined circumferential shape, wherein the tribological surface (107) of the friction lining (105) is configured to transmit frictional forces to a brake disc, wherein the surface coating (109) is a composite material, the composite material containing potassium titanate and further configured to create a transfer layer on the brake disc
