The mechanomade serie is iron-based metal powders engineered by MBN Nanomaterialia for the brake industry, designed to deliver superior thermal, mechanical, and frictional performance.
The product line includes specialized formulations such as FA25, FA35 Leaf, FA45M, and FSS, tailored for use in brake pads, linings, and friction materials.
Produced using MBN’s proprietary Mechanomade® process—a High Energy Ball Milling (HEBM) technology—these powders offer a fine and stable dispersion of elements within a metal matrix. This enables the refinement of crystal structures and the development of materials with customized physical-mechanical properties.
Key Benefits:
◉ Optimized microstructure for consistent braking performance
◉ Enhanced durability and fade resistance
◉ Homogeneous elemental distribution for reliable functionality
◉ Ni- and Cu-free options available for environmental compliance
These powders are ideal for manufacturers seeking innovative, high-performance solutions in braking systems, combining material stability with eco-design.
