Magnetite is used as a solid lubricant in the manufacture of automotive brakes. Magnetite solid lubricants play a crucial role in friction stabilisation and wear reduction in automotive braking applications. It is one of the components that homogenises the friction coefficient and stabilises the heat transfer from the pad to the brake disc.
