The advantages and disadvantages of ceramic brake pads and the difference between ordinary

Apr 07, 2021

Ceramic brake pads are a type of brake pads, including mineral fiber, aramid fiber and ceramic fiber, and will be lighter or more expensive than other brake pads, and it is quieter and can also provide The performance of the brake pads does not wear the mating parts.


1. No abnormal noise. After the installation is completed, there will be no abnormal roar (ie scratching) during driving. Since there is no metal component in the product, the metal friction and whistling noise between traditional metal brake pads and their counterparts (ie, brake pads and brake discs) is avoided.


2. After using the ceramic brake pads, there will be no scratch grooves (ie scratches) on the brake disc, thus prolonging the service life of the original brake disc by 20%.


3. At present, the high temperature resistance of civilian-grade products is about 650℃, which is enough to meet the normal use of civilian vehicles (the high temperature resistance of the original car brake pads is about 350℃). Especially suitable for mountain vehicles. Due to the fast heat dissipation of ceramics, the factory can adjust the process formula according to different customer requirements.


4. Improved braking performance: After use, some customers reported that the pedals were softer than the previous brakes. In fact, this is also one of the characteristics of this product, which is the improvement of braking performance. Disadvantages of ceramic brake pads: the price is higher than ordinary brake pads.


The difference with traditional brake pads is that there are no metal elements. Traditional brake pads use metal as the main friction material, which has high braking force, but high wear and noise.


2. The friction material of ordinary brake pads is immature and the friction coefficient is too high, which will lead to unsafe factors such as loss of control and scorching. Even if the temperature of the brake disc reaches 650°C, its friction coefficient will be 0.45 Between ~0.55, the braking performance of the vehicle can be guaranteed.


3. The ceramic has good thermal stability, low thermal conductivity and good wear resistance.


4. It has good mechanical and physical properties, and can withstand relatively large pressure and shear forces.


5. It can also improve the performance of the brake pads. Due to the fast heat dissipation of ceramic materials, its friction coefficient is higher than that of metal brake pads.


6. Its life is longer than that of ordinary brake pads.


Compared with the above, ceramic brake pads are more durable, have better heat dissipation, shorter braking distance, and can continuously brake under high temperature and high intensity.
