Method and apparatus for manufacturing brake pad for quality stabilization

A method of manufacturing a brake pad including a friction material and a backing plate which are coupled to each other, the method comprising:

• a preliminary process of preparing friction material powder and the backing plate;
• a forming process of forming the friction material powder in the form of the friction material by pressing and attaching the friction material to one surface of the backing plate;
• a quality stabilization process of heating and pressing the friction material after the forming process is completed;
• a heat treatment process of heating the brake pad at a predetermined temperature after the quality stabilization process is completed;
• and
• a grinding process of grinding the friction material,
• wherein the quality stabilization process is performed by heating the friction material at a temperature of 110 to 260° C., and
• wherein the quality stabilization process is performed by pressing the friction material with a pressure of 5 to 20% of a pressure applied to the friction material powder in the forming process.
