ZTR12 Hydrogen Reduced Iron Powder for Brake Pads

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

Product Introduction

Friction Material Iron Powder is a specially selected iron powder designed for use in automotive and industrial friction materials. It is widely used in semi-metallic brake pads, brake shoes, clutch linings and other friction components.

With controlled chemical composition, particle size distribution, apparent density and powder morphology, friction-grade iron powder helps provide stable friction performance, controlled wear and good thermal management.

Sponge iron powder and other specially processed iron powders are commonly selected for friction formulations because their porous structure and high surface area can support good bonding and consistent performance in the friction material matrix.
