<p>The purpose of the invention is to provide, using a raw material powder having little impact on the environment, a friction material that has an equal or higher coefficient of friction to conventional friction materials obtained using nickel, copper, or other such metals as a raw material powder. The invention is a friction material containing a friction modifier in a metal phase including Fe and Si, wherein 70-98 mass% of elemental Fe relative to the total metal phase and 2-30 mass% of elemental Si relative to the total metal phase are included in the metal phase (where the total of the elemental Fe content and elemental Si content is 100 mass% or less).</p> |
