    Abstract: Methods and equipment for determining conditions of adhesion between a first and a second mechanical element are disclosed. The mechanical elements are attached respectively to a first and second support, which are immersed in an electrolyte together with a counter-electrode and a reference electrode to form an electrochemical cell. The second mechanical element is a working electrode being connected to an insulated electric wire that is also connected to the counter-electrode. A first uncovered face of the second element is pressed against the first element. A potential is applied to the second element of at least one predetermined value and/or a predetermined electrical current. The method can include detecting the electrical current that is transmitted through the electrolyte as a function of the potential applied and/or the potential that is established as a function of the predetermined current.

    Abstract: Brake pads are prepared using a LS (Low Steel) or NAO (Non-Asbestos Organics) type friction material formulation and at least one friction surface of a brake disc intended to cooperate in use with a brake pad that is coated with an anti-wear and anti-corrosion coating with adequate plasticity in order to have a reduced propensity to form micro-cracks under conditions of tribo-mechanical stress, chosen from the amongst the group consisting in: particles of chromium carbide (Cr3C2) dispersed within a metallic matrix consisting of an alloy of NiCr; particles of a combination of several metallic materials in order to create a metallic compound consisting of an alloy of FeNiCrMoSiC (iron-nickel-chromium-molybdenum-silicon-carbon).

    Abstract: A friction material, such as those belonging to the NAO or LS classes. The friction material is substantially free from copper and includes non-spherical particles in the form of powders and/or fibres each constituted by a preferably ferrous metallic core and by an at least partial coating of core formed at least partially or totally by tin and/or tin compounds, such as intermetallic Fe—Sn compounds.
