Material And Selection Of Ceramic Brake Pads

I believe everyone is familiar with brake pads. Having a good, reliable brake pad is a necessary condition for safe driving when we are driving. And if there is a problem with the quality of the brake pads, we will have a great hidden danger to our safety when we are driving. Next, we will introduce the contents of our ceramic brake pads made by Leopard.

Ceramic brake pads are composed of ceramic fibers, iron-free fillers, adhesives and a small amount of metal. Ceramic brake pads are a kind of brake pads, and many consumers mistakenly think it is made of ceramics at first. In fact, ceramic brake pads are based on the principle of cermet instead of cermet. When the brake pads brake at high speed, the friction surface will generate high temperature. According to measurements, it can reach 800-900 degrees, and some are even higher.

At this high temperature, cermet sintering will occur on the surface of the brake pad, so that the brake pad has good stability at this temperature. Conventional brake pads will not produce a sintering reaction at this temperature. Due to the rapid increase in surface temperature, surface materials will melt and even produce air cushions, resulting in a sharp drop in braking performance or complete loss of braking after continuous braking.

In the daily use of cars, we often do an action. Step on the brakes for normal parking, step on the brakes for temporary emergency situations, and step on the brakes for traffic lights. It can be said that the brake is a very important function, and the more important parts for maintaining these brake functions are the brake pads. How much do you know about brake pads? What is a better brake pad? You may not think of the answer, it is not ceramic. If you insist on saying that it is ceramic, you may be laughed at by the car repairer. The first thing to know is the classification of brake pads. According to the friction material of the brake pads, it can be divided into metal brake pads and carbon ceramic brake pads. Among them, metal brake pads are divided into micro-metal brake pads and semi-metal brake pads.

Then is the expression of the friction coefficient and grade of the brake pad. Generally speaking, the higher the friction coefficient, the greater the resistance of the brake pads and the better the braking effect. Then there is the use environment of the car, which may be a high temperature environment or a low temperature environment, such as summer and winter, where the temperature is different. In order to ensure the normal use of the brake pads, two levels of high temperature and low temperature are set.

Let’s take a look at what kind of car the ceramic brake pads are suitable for. Generally speaking, the cars we produce, plus the cars from Japan and South Korea, are generally lighter in weight, and ceramic brake pads have better effects, which can achieve good braking effects. European and American cars are generally heavier and require metal brake pads. If ceramic brake pads are used, the expected braking effect may not be achieved.
