Can chrome ore powder be used as friction material for brake pads?
Chrome ore powder is mainly ground from chromium ore originating in South Africa. The material itself has a certain hardness, with a Mohs hardness of about 7.0. It has good thermal conductivity and does not stick to sand at high temperatures. It can be used as friction material.
Commonly used particle sizes include 200 mesh, 325 mesh, and 400 mesh, which are widely used in brake pad formulations for various vehicles, such as motorcycles, agricultural vehicles, motor vehicles, engineering vehicles, special vehicles, high-speed rail brakes, etc.
