Which material is the best brake pad?
1. Carbon fiber brake pads, the performance is against the sky, but the price is too high, only used in general racing cars.
2. New materials such as ceramic graphite have good thermal conductivity, high heat resistance, low noise and moderate price.
3. Ordinary semi-metal brake pads, including iron and copper, are cheap, have good thermal conductivity, poor heat resistance, and are toxic, but the price is cheap. It is generally recommended to choose the second type
At present, brake pads are mainly divided into: low-metal/less-metal brake pads, graphite/high-carbon brake pads, polymer/fiber brake pads, and ceramic brake pads. Among them, polymers are somewhat similar to ceramics, and they are ok, but polymer materials There are many false brake pads on the market, so in general, you can choose ceramic materials. Ceramic brake pads are the best. Ceramic brake pads produced with special materials and special processes have the characteristics of good braking performance, small thermal attenuation and durability. . But the only downside is the high cost.
There are ceramic ones, metal ones, and carbon fiber ones. Personally, it is recommended to use ceramic or carbon fiber ones. The noise of metal is a bit louder.
Brake pad material: asbestos type brake pads. Non-asbestos friction materials are divided into the following categories: semi-metal friction materials, disc brake pads used in cars and heavy vehicles. The material formula usually contains about 30% to 50%. of iron.
