Abstract

See full text

A brake pad has a backing plate and a friction pad. The friction pad is provided with a plurality of layers. Each layer is formed from a desired material such that at least two layers are formed from different materials. A first layer of said plurality of layers is adapted to contact a brake rotor. A second layer is covered by the first layer. At least one of said first and second layers has a tapered thickness from one edge of the friction pad to the other edge. As the first layer wears, the second layer gradually transitions into contact with the brake rotor.
