Disc brake pad and method for the manufacturing thereof

A pad for disc brakes, having a thickness (y) and comprising:

• a first surface intended to cooperate with actuating means of a disc brake,
• a second tribologically active friction surface, opposite to said first surface, intended to cooperate with a disc of a disc brake,
• a first portion of the pad and a second portion of the pad, wherein
• said first portion of the pad extends for a thickness (y1) starting from said first surface within said pad, and
• said second portion of the pad extends for a thickness (y2) starting from said second tribologically active friction surface within said pad,
• said pad being characterized in that:
• said first surface and said first portion of the pad are made of a carboceramic material comprising carbon and silicon carbide, and
• said second tribologically active friction surface and said second portion of the pad are made of a carbon-based material named “Carbon-Carbon” or “C/C”,
• wherein said first surface and said first portion of the pad have a composition by weight which varies within the following ranges:
• carbon fibers 20-70%
• carbon matrix 20-70%
• silicon 0-10%
• SiC 10-40%.
