Will low coefficient of friction brake pads or facings wear out more quickly then standard coefficient of friction pads or facings?

0

No, in fact they will wear more slowly for any given amount of work accomplished. The work done by a brake or clutch is expressed in Horsepower-Hours, or kW hours. The rate of wear of the friction elements is expressed in Horsepower Hours per cubic inch, or kW Hours per cubic centimeter of facing material. In all cases the wear rate for the low coefficient of friction materials is lower than for the standard coefficient materials.
