Brake system is a critical component for vehicle safety and performance. One type of brake system widelyused in passenger cars is disc brake system due to its compactness and efficient heat dissipation. Inthis system brake pads play a key function, distributing the hydraulic force by the uniform contact withthe brake disk with no deformations. Brake pads are composed of a support metallic backplate, wherefriction material is adhered. This work presents a study to evaluate the minimum acceptable backplatethickness, considering passenger vehicles braking performance and requirements. The main parametersevaluated on this work were associated with braking torque and force and working temperature. Theseparameters were validated based on dynamometer tests under severe braking conditions together withtensile and micro hardness tests. Results showed that a reduction up to 1 mm in backplate thickness ispossible, complying with all mechanical and thermal specifications required for braking systems
