The present study deals with development of iron based MMC employed for brake pads by ‘Hot Powder Preform Forging’ technique. The conventional technique i.e. Compacting and sintering for manufacturing metalloceramic brake pads was successfully and economically replaced by using above process. Higher density levels can be achieved by hot powder pre-form forging technique hitherto not possible by sintering route. The mechanical properties of these materials were characterized using ASTM standards.
