Semi-metallic brake pads are composed of various metal bits, along with a bonding material to hold the pieces together and give the brake pad its structure. The metals used can include anything from steel wool to bits of metal wire and iron dust. Graphite and copper are also commonly used. In general, semi-metallic pads contain between 30-65% metal.

Advantages of Semi-metallic pads Include: are inexpensive and provide excellent transfer of heat away from the rotor. This helps prevent against warping of the rotor, which can occur when the rotor is overheated. In addition, semi-metallic brake pads are hard and wear down slowly.
