Key performance parameters of brake pads
Coefficient of friction: It directly affects the braking force. It needs to remain stable within the commonly used temperature range in races (200-800℃) to avoid high-temperature attenuation or insufficient braking force at low temperatures.
Heat resistance: The temperature of brake pads rises rapidly during racing braking. They need to have excellent thermal stability to prevent carbonization, adhesion or sudden performance decline at high temperatures.
Wear rate: It affects service life and racing costs. It is necessary to reduce the wear per braking operation while ensuring braking force.
Thermal conductivity: It needs to quickly transfer the heat generated by friction to the caliper and brake disc to prevent local overheating and reduce heat conduction to the wheel hub and tire (to prevent tire performance from being affected).
Compatibility: It needs to match the material of the brake disc (such as carbon-ceramic brake pads with carbon-ceramic brake discs) to avoid abnormal wear or noise during friction.
