A sintered friction material is formed by sintering a mixture of powdered metal and/or ceramic and 1-35% by volume of sheared metal fibres which have a melting point above the sintering temperature. The preferred mixture comprises 12-99% by volume powdered metal and 0-65% by volume non-metallic materials. The basic material consists by weight of 50% Cu, 5% Mo, 5% Fe, 1% "Monel" (Trade Mark), 16% mullite, 13% graphite and 10% sheared fibres such as Ni, Mo, stainless or carbon steel. The mixture is compacted at 40,000 p.s.i., sintered at 1800 DEG F. in a reducing atmosphere, cooled and then coined at 100,000 p.s.i. Examples of other friction materials containing Cu, Mo, Sn, mullite, graphite, Sb, SiO2 and steel fibres are also included. Heat-resistant ceramics containing MgO, BeO or ThO2 with Mo or steel sheared fibres are also produced by compacting and sintering in hydrogen at 2200 DEG F.ALSO:A sintered friction material comprises a sintered mixture of powdered metal and/or ceramic and 1%-35% by volume of sheared metal fibres which have a melting point above the sintering temperature.
