What are Ceramic Brake Pads?

The ceramic brake pad is the new kid on the block, having debuted in the 1980s. The friction material consists of ceramic, much like a denser version of the stuff found in pottery, infused with fine copper wires. The copper is added to enhance friction and to increase heat conductivity.

Typical Advantages of Ceramic Brake Pads

 

 
 

Noise-Level

 

Ceramic brake pads are very quiet, creating little-to-no extra sound when the brakes are applied.

 
 
 

Wear & Tear Residue

 

Compared to organic brake pads, ceramic brake pads tend to produce less dust and other particles over time as they wear down.

 
 
 

Temperature & Driving Conditions

Compared to organic brake pads, ceramic brake pads can be more reliable in a wider range of temperatures and driving conditions.

Properties of Zhongwei Ceramic Brake Pads

Brake Fade Resistance
Good ceramic brake pads generally can resist brake fade. Brake fade is typically caused by overheating in brake pads as a result of converting kinetic energy to heat energy when the brake is applied. Brake fade decreases the efficiency of ceramic brake pads considerably.

 

Corrosion and Oxidation Resistance
A good ceramic brake pad should be resistant to corrosion and oxidation. It should be able to withstand exposure to chemicals without any change in mechanical properties. Corrosion and oxidation can greatly decrease the half-life of a brake.

 

Low Friction Coefficient
A low friction coefficient is one property to look out for when choosing a ceramic brake pad. The friction coefficient should be low enough that the wheels do not lock. However, it should not be so low that there is insufficient stopping power. The friction coefficient of an ideal ceramic brake pad lies between 0.3 and 0.5.

Brake Pad Types Pros Cons
Organic Brake Pads Organic brake pads are the least expensive on the market and recommended for normal driving. They generate enough friction to effectively stop the average vehicle yet don't produce as much heat as other pads, thereby putting less stress on the rest of your car's braking system. Organic brake pads wear out more quickly than other types, which means you'll have to replace them more often. They also don't work as well as ceramic and metallic pads in extreme temperatures. In addition, you have to apply a bit more pressure to the foot pedal than you do with other types of brake pads.
Ceramic Brake Pads Ceramic is the quietest brake pad material. Moreover, ceramic brake pads perform better than organic brakes in a range of temperatures. Ceramic brake pads are pricier than other types. Plus, they underperform in extreme cold. In addition, ceramic doesn't absorb as much heat as other materials. Consequently, more stress is distributed to the rest of the braking system.
Metallic Brake Pads Metallic brake pads perform better than organic and ceramic brake pads in a wide range of temperatures. They're responsive and require minimal pressure on the pedal. The metal also withstands heat well. Metallic brake pads are noisier than other types. Their high degree of sensitivity means your ride may be more jerky than what you'd experience with ceramic or organic brake pads. Metallic brakes are pricier than organic brake pads but more affordable than ceramic ones.

 

 

Production Process Of Ceramic-Based Brake Pads

Ceramic-based brake pads are mainly composed of reinforced ceramic fibers, mineral fillers, and binders. The production process is shown as follows:

  • Raw material
  • Weighing ingredients
  • Mixing
  • Pre-forming (mold)
  • Sintering
  • grinding
  • Grooving (drilling)
  • Spraying
  • Modification
  • Inspection
  • Coding
  • Packaging

What Causes Brake Pad Wear?

Brake pads are the parts of the braking system that touch the brake rotors, causing friction. This friction is what helps bring your car to a stop on Houston roads. Friction and heat cause the brake pads to wear down. How you apply the brakes can have an effect on your brake pads. If you slam on the brakes, you can cause even more wear to the brake pads than if you gently pressed the brake pedal. More causes of brake pad wear can include:

Type of brake pad

Poor road conditions

Extreme heat or cold

Manual vs. automatic transmission

Local driving environment

Condition of other brake components

 

When Should Ceramic Brake Pads be Replaced?

You should replace your brake pads when they have less than a quarter inch of friction material left, or if you notice any of the following symptoms:

Grind sounds when braking

Vibration in the steering wheel

Pulsation in the brake pedal

New squealing sounds (not regular squeaks from semi-metallic pads)

Brake pad indicator light on your dash

 

What Materials are Ceramic Brake Pads Made Of?

 

Ceramic brake pads are composed of ceramic fibers, non-ferrous filler materials, adhesives, and a small amount of metal. Ceramic brake pads are a kind of brake pads, including mineral fiber, aramid fiber, and ceramic fiber (because steel fiber will rust, generate noise and dust, so it cannot meet the requirements of ceramic type formula), it is lighter than other brake pads. And more expensive, ceramic brake pads are cleaner and quieter and provide excellent braking performance without wearing the mating parts.

 

The Top 6 Ways To Extend The Life Of Your Brake Pads

 

 

Speed Is The Enemy
When it comes to braking, full and complete stops from a high speed are absolutely the #1 cause of premature brake pad wear. Brake pads work by transforming energy into heat – and this means they become worn out more quickly the more energy they have to dissipate. If you slow down just a little bit, you can save quite a bit of wear and tear on your brake pads.

 

Never "Two-Foot" Your Pedals
If you tend to tap your brake pedal with your left foot while still keeping your right foot on the accelerator, this is a bad habit. It leads to more "brake taps" which don't' really do anything to stop your car, and cause premature wear.

 

Coast More You Can
Consider paying more attention to the flow of traffic, and stopped or slowed-down cars that are ahead of you, and coast whenever you can to lower your speed – as opposed to braking.

 

Don't "Hurry Up To Stop"
This advice will help you save on gas, as well as on brake wear and tear. Is there a red light or a stop sign coming up? Start coasting and slowing down! There is absolutely no reason to step on the gas and "hurry up to stop" when the cars ahead of you are clearly not moving. All you'll do is waste fuel – and when you do have to stop, you'll put excessive wear and tear on your brake pads.

 

Keep Your Car As Light As Possible
Most people don't keep heavy objects in their car, but if you tend to keep a lot of stuff in your car, that weight can add up - and lead to a larger kinetic load that your brake pads must halt when you stop. This doesn't just apply to objects in your car, either. Aftermarket stereo systems, body panels, wheels, and other customizations can make your car much heavier – resulting in shorter brake pad life.

 

Flush Your Brakes Every 2 Years
Your brakes should be bled and flushed about every 2 years, especially if you have an older car. This will help your brakes work more effectively, and make your internal components work longer. This is because brake fluid naturally attracts water. During emergency braking or repeated brake use, this moisture can "boil", reducing braking effectiveness. Moisture can also cause internal corrosion, reducing the lifespan of brake components like rubber seals.

 

Ceramic Brake Pad Installation Steps
 

 

1

Get Necessary Materials
When buying ceramic brake pads get rotors as well, as they must be bedded in together to enhance performance. Even before installing the new rotors, it is recommended to look out for excessive run-out using a dial indicator gauge.

 
2

Floor Jack
Using a floor jack and jack stands lift and support your vehicle by the chassis. Remove the wheel and find disc brake calipers. They are found between the lug bolts and brake pads in most cars. Inspect the condition of the old pads and rotors for damage, wear and tear. If they are dirty, clean them to remove rust, grease, oil or debris. Because the new ceramic brake pad is being installed, remove them even if they are in good condition.

 
3

Compress Calipers
Use a caliper compressor or a large C-clamp to squeeze the caliper's pistons back into their bores. Some fluid will leak from the bleeder screw, but it will take far less effort to compress the caliper. This will also prevent you from damaging the caliper's seals. Once you've fully compressed the caliper's pistons, tighten the bleeder screw and remove the compression tool.

 
4

Remove Brake Pads
Once calipers have been removed, locate the brake pads and detach them from position using a spanner. Clean the calipers and remove grease, oil or debris.

 
5

Install Ceramic Brake Pads
Start by adjusting the brake piston. This is the component that pushes down brake pads against rotors. Use the C-clamp to adjust the piston, making sure it is at the farthest position. Carefully attach ceramic brake pads where the old brake pads were positioned. Replace the calipers and fix the lug bolts and retaining calipers. Make sure they are fastened and secure before replacing the wheel and screwing it in position. Finally, Keep away lubricants and brake oil away from braking components. Take care that they do not come into contact with the paint job on the car, as they easily destroy it.

 

 

Easy Way to Identify Real Ceramic Brake Pads

 

Option 1:
We can identify the ceramic brake pads by color, which specialists call "hardcore color". The surface of the ceramic brake pad looks like pebble, but without any sharp lights(or metallic light). As we know, metallic brake pads have metallic material in the pad, it have such metallic sharp light.

 

Option 2:
We can identify the ceramic brake pads by hand touching. If we touch the surface of ceramic brake pads with our fingers, they are clean, and there is not any black or other dirty dust on our hand. but if we touch the metallic brake pads, there will be dirty black metallic powder on our hands.

 

Option 3:
The real ceramic brake pads don't rust. Because ceramic brake pads are made of a durable ceramic compound, there is no metallic fiber in them. If you find the brake pad is rusty, it may be not real ceramic disc pads, because there are some friction materials and metallic fibers in brake pads, such as copper fiber, steel fiber, steel wool, and so on.

 

Option 4:
After we use the ceramic brake pad, we can find there is white powder on disc after breaking wearing, and these clean power will not damage the brake rotors. If we use the metallic brake pads, there are black friction powers on disc or wheels, so we know these are the powers are from all kinds of metal fibers and carbon fibers wearing.

 

Option 5:
Use a magnet to identify. If the magnet can be adsorbed on the friction material of the brake pad, it means that this is not a ceramic brake pad. There are a lot of fake ceramic brake pads on the market, they use less metal to pretend to be ceramic brake pads. You use a magnet to identify easily.

Common Problems of Brake Pads Backing Plates

 

Q: Are ceramic brake pads better?

A: Ceramic brake pads typically last longer than semi-metallic brake pads, and through their lifespan, provide better noise control and less wear-and-tear to brake rotors, without sacrificing braking performance. When deciding on ceramic brake pads versus semi-metallic brake pads, bear in mind that not all vehicle makes and models are compatible with ceramic brake pads, so research is advised.

Q: Why is ceramic better for car brakes?

A: Wear & Tear Residue: Compared to organic brake pads, ceramic brake pads tend to produce less dust and other particles as they wear down. Temperature & Driving Conditions: Compared to organic brake pads, ceramic brake pads can be more reliable in a broader range of temperatures and driving conditions.

Q: How long can ceramic brake pads last?

A: Their average lifespan is 75,000 miles. Compared to conventional brake pads, ceramic brake pads are held in high regard for their resilience. They're typically found in high-performance and luxury cars. They're more expansive than your average brake pad, but again, they have a longer lifespan.

Q: How can you tell if you have ceramic brake pads?

A: Don't judge a brake pad on just the color of the friction material. Not all dark grey friction materials are semi-metallic brake friction materials, some brake pads with this color could be ceramic or NAO materials. To find out the friction type, use the box or the brake pad manufacturers catalog.

Q: What is a disadvantage of ceramic brake pads?

A: Ceramic brake pads are usually the most expensive friction option. Less bite than semi-metallic brake pads and less suitable for extremely cold climates. Possible higher braking system temperatures due to less heat absorbency than other friction materials.

Q: Which brakes are better metallic or ceramic?

A: A set of ceramic pads will tend to last longer than metallic pads because they are harder and wear less. Ceramic brake pads create much less brake dust than an organic or metallic pad. A ceramic brake pad will tend to "grab" less than a semi-metallic pad, which lowers the friction and wear on the rotor.

Q: Do ceramic brakes stop faster?

A: The higher friction coefficient generated by the carbon reduces the braking activation time, which means the car slows down before one with a traditional braking system. According to some studies, on cars with similar tires and brake pads, carbon-ceramic discs make it possible to reduce the braking distance by nearly 10 feet when braking from 62 mph to 0. That is enough space to save a human life or prevent a crash that could damage the car body.

Q: Why are ceramic brakes so expensive?

A: Three main differences can be observed: The material: cast iron is significantly cheaper than carbon. Furthermore, carbon-ceramic discs use higher-quality fasteners because the discs last longer than conventional versions and as such, the materials used also need to last longer.

Q: Can you use ceramic pads on normal discs?

A: Basically, we recommend only combining ATE Ceramic brake pads with "normal", i.e. smooth brake discs. My braking system, which has sporting brake discs, hums when braking from high speeds. Is this normal? We do not recommend using Ceramic brake pads with sports brake discs.

Q: Does the ATE Ceramic brake pad provide ceramic high performance?

A: The ATE Ceramic is not suitable for high performance or racing! The brake pad has been designed for use in normal road traffic and offers a longer service life, less noise and significantly reduced brake dust formation on the rims under normal driving conditions. ATE Ceramic brake pads should not be confused with brake pads for ceramic composite brake discs used in high-priced sports and luxury vehicles.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and normal brake pads?

A: Ceramic brake pads are quieter than metallic brake pads because they vibrate at a frequency above the range of human hearing. They also produce less dust than metallic pads, and the dust that they do produce is lighter in color and easier to wash off. Metallic brake pads are noisier and produce more dust.

Q: Are OEM brake pads ceramic or metallic?

A: Ceramic brake pads are mainly manufactured using ceramic fibers. These fibers are reinforced with some amount of metal using a bonding agent to give them their structure.On the other hand, OEM brake pads are often semi-metallic and are made of various metallic materials, such as shredded metal wire, iron powder, and steel wool. Ceramic and OEM brake pad manufacturers use different metallic materials to make their products.

Q: What is the best type of brake pads?

A: Ceramic brake pads have excellent stopping power and disperse heat well. Ideal for most normal driving applications, they produce very little dust or noise and are long lasting. Many foreign and domestic vehicles are equipped with ceramic brake pad formulations from the factory.

Q: How often should you change ceramic brake pads?

A: Manufacturers often suggest replacing brake pads every 25,000 to 70,000 miles. However, this range can vary significantly based on the factors mentioned earlier. If your driving involves a lot of stop-and-go city traffic, you might need to replace your brake pads closer to the lower end of that range.

Q: What are the quietest brake pads?

A: Ceramic brake pads. These brake pads are made from a type of dense ceramic that has copper fibres in it in order to increase friction and conductivity. Pros : Ceramic is the quietest brake pad material. Moreover, ceramic brake pads perform better than organic brakes in a range of temperatures.

Q: Which brake pads last the longest?

A: Ceramic brake pads are the hardest and most durable brake pad material on the market. Next up are metallic and semi-metallic brake pads. Organic brake pads are the softest and least durable pad material on the market. So to answer your question: ceramic brake pads last longer than metallic brake pads.

Q: Do you need special rotors for ceramic brake pads?

A: No. You should at least have your existing rotors machined (turned) so that you have a clean, flat surface for your new pads. I recommend getting new rotors. Depending on the vehicle they're usually not too much more than the cost of machining (sometimes less) and you'll start out with rotors that are the original engineered thickness.

Q: Why do ceramic brake pads squeak?

A: The noise is just a slight rubbing because your old rotors have been worn in the shape of your old pads, and the new pads don't match them exactly. But they're perfectly safe, and your brakes will stop the car just the way they're supposed to.

Q: Does Toyota use ceramic brake pads?

A: Genuine Toyota Premium Ceramic Brake Pads are comprised of an upgraded premium ceramic composition to maximize performance. The new premium ceramic brake pads feature a backing plate to match the OEM brake pad design so the OEM shims can be reused based on inspection.

Q: Do you need to grease ceramic brake pads?

A: Applying lubricant to the back of the brake pads is not required. Our multi-layered shims are noise tested without lubricant and designed to ensure noise-free braking. If desired, apply a thin layer of lubricant to the backside of the pad, where it comes into contact with the caliper piston.
