Iron powder offers an excellent combination of durability and cost in semi-metallic brake pads and sintered friction formulations. provides the world’s most comprehensive range of iron powders for friction applications. With low apparent density our powders enable a reduction of brake weight and total material usage. Moreover, their high internal porosity and large surface area provide improved brake surfaces and wear properties.
Several factors determine the right powder for your friction application, including particle size distribution, apparent density (AD) and hardness (chemical composition and treatment).
Another important factor is morphology which is a direct result of the manufacturing method. Our products are manufactured by either hydrogen reduction, carbon reduction or atomization.
Advantages and benefits:
• Lower brake weight and reduction of material usage
• Improved brake surfaces and excellent pad and rotor wear properties
• Noise minimization
• Consistent powders ensure uniform products
