Talk:Brake lining

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'd like to see a discussion of modern brake lining materials. There are no specific examples in either disc brake, brake_lining, or clutch, just references to the fact that Asbestos was previously used and now there are new, but unnamed substances used. What are those? What allows them to hold together under extraordinary heat and pressure? Any materials scientists out there?

One lead might be Silicon_carbide#Disc_brake, though the linked reinforced carbon-carbon article has no mention of disk brakes. DFH 16:36, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Surprisingly, the website for Ferodo doesn't seem to delve into materials at all. DFH 16:39, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Ferodo "invests £multimillions on research projects each year, with vast numbers of scientists and engineers working to advance the worlds knowledge and understanding of friction technology." The words trade secret come to mind. DFH 16:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
