Material covering: sintered metal
Material support plate: steel
Color of base plate: copper
The sintered metal coverings are pressed together by a process, the sintering,
of metal and ceramic particles with a lot of pressure and heat. In contrast to
organic brake pads, sintered metal pads are significantly harder and more
wear-resistant. The disadvantage is, unfortunately, that these coverings
generate more heat and squeak significantly more when wet.
Therefore, you should drive the sintered metal coverings
with large discs (from 160 mm) with many ventilation holes so that the heat can
be dissipated well. On the advantage side, you get a very stable brake with
little wear.
