Abstract:
A metallic support of a brake pad delimited between a first and a second face, and having a perimeter edge substantially perpendicular to the first and second faces. The first face receives a block or layer of friction material, and the second face receives a dampening element. The first face has at least one projecting part extending cantilevered spaced apart from the perimeter edge so as to be completely embedded within the block or layer of friction material. The at least one projecting part is delimited at the top by a first surface upon which there is at least one first cavity filled with the block or layer of friction material. The second face has at least one second cavity forged as the at least one projecting part. At the at least one first cavity, there is at least one first relief shaped as the at least one first cavity.

Abstract:
A method for the production of braking elements for vehicles, in particular brake pads, includes a die forming step by means of fine and/or traditional shearing of a metal support and a molding step upon the metal support of a block of friction material. The friction material is selected from the group of asbestos free materials, while the metal plate is made of an aluminum alloy selected from the group consisting of aluminum alloys subjected to precipitation hardening (age-hardening alloys) and is made from the fine and/or traditional shearing of a metal sheet when the alloy is in a solubilized state. The alloy is not age hardened until a friction material baking step in order to gain the mechanical properties needed for its operation.
