  • the materials are combined in such a way as to ensure that they do not crystallise, even under heavy working conditions, thus improving efficiency and maintaining their characteristics intact over a period of time. Furthermore, given the presence of diamagnetic materials, the negative effects of magnetisation of the braking surface, which are seen in the mixture compositions of friction materials according to the prior art and which result in blockage of one surface on the other during operation, are avoided.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is the elasticity of the braking materials obtained in this way, which is such that it allows perfect the braking element to adapt perfectly to the braking surface. This makes it possible to distribute the braking action homogeneously over the whole surface area, optimising effectiveness and also obtaining a homogeneous distribution of the heat generated, thus avoiding any excessive local concentration of heat that might result in cracking and splitting of the mixture of materials.
  • Another advantage lies in the fact that, unlike the braking materials according to the prior art, which are subject to corrosion because of the high percentages of metallic materials they contain, thus resulting in serious damage to the braking surfaces, as well as high noise levels during operation and sparking, according to the present invention these problems are solved, as the materials used to form the mixture are not subject to corrosion.
  • a further advantage lies in the fact that according to the invention the mixture obtained has a specific weight reduced by 25% when compared with cast iron brakes, and by 65% when compared with synthetic ones. This gives greater manoeuvrability during installation and replacement operations.
  • a further advantage lies in the fact that the mixture according to the invention is subject to less wear during operation that the mixtures according to the prior art. Examples will now be given of tests carried out on the mixture for friction materials according to the invention.

As the braking moment of the machine is known, and is 100 kgm. , it is possible to calculate the duration of each test period.
  • the average friction coefficient (av.f) refers to the duration of the test and not to an average of the values (max.f) and (min.f) , which are instantaneous values.
  • Thickness of the test element at the end of test 7.30 mm
