A friction material is provided with a matrix fiber, a binder, and a filler. The friction material contains a stabilized zirconia having a lattice constant in a range from 99.93 to 99.95% as compared with a lattice constant of a single crystal of stabilized zirconia. The lattice constant scarcely changes, since the stabilized zirconia contained in the friction material undergoes less introduction of distortions when used under severe conditions. Accordingly, the stable friction characteristic with less change of the friction coefficient in the initial stage of using the brake can be obtained.
