Abstract
A brake pad having a backing plate, friction lining, and a surface coating adhered to the friction lining. The surface coating may be formulated to generate a transfer layer on a brake rotor faster than the fiction lining alone. The surface coating may be adhered to the friction lining in a predetermined design.
Claims20
A brake pad, comprising:
- a back plate having a mounting surface;
- a friction lining having a tribological surface and coupled to the mounting surface such that a tribological surface is parallel to the mounting surface within a specified tolerance;
- and
- a surface coating affixed to the tribological surface, the surface coating being configured to establish tribological contact of the brake pad with a brake rotor, wherein
- the surface coating is affixed to the tribological surface using an adhesive, the surface coating having a predetermined design, and wherein the surface coating is configured to create a transfer layer of material onto the brake rotor du g tribological contact of the brake pad and the brake rotor.

A brake pad, comprising:
- a back plate having a mounting surface;
- a friction lining having a tribological surface and coupled to the mounting surface such that tribological surface is parallel to the mounting surface within a specified tolerance;
- and
- a surface coating affixed to the tribological surface, the surface coating being, configured to establish tribological contact of the brake pad with a brake rotor, wherein
- the surface coating is affixed to the tribological surface using an adhesive, the surface coating being visually distinct from the friction lining, and wherein the surface coating is configured to create a transfer layer of material onto the brake rotor during tribological contact of the brake pad and the brake rotor.
