Friction pad for use with disc brake

摘要

Improved friction pads for use with disc brake. The pad has a central main portion and a peripheral portion which are formed of different matrices having different compositions. The matrix of the central main portion contains a hard substance or substances having a specified range of hardness whereas the matrix of the peripheral portion does not contain such hard substances or contains in only a limited smaller amount than the central main portion. This prevents the brake disc from wearing due to friction with the pad and thus avoids uneven abrasion of the brake disc.
