Why are more and more people choosing ceramic brake pads?

Ceramic brake pads have been used more and more widely in recent years, so what are its advantages? Next, let me take you to understand.

If the car’s power gives the driver speed and passion, then the brakes give the driver comfort and assurance. The high performance brake system allows everyone to reciprocate in fun. The direct and effective way to improve the performance of brake system is to assemble a pair of high-performance ceramic brake pads. At present, the brake pads used in the field of sports cars are mainly carbon ceramic brake pads. The brake pad is light in weight, high in strength, good in friction coefficient, stable in braking, impact resistance, and the brake hotspot is difficult to compare with the ordinary brake disc, and the service life is almost equivalent to the service life of the car. However, these high-performance composite brake pads are not all advantages. The carbon brake disc has a long production cycle, low wet friction coefficient and poor stability under heavy load conditions. The carbon ceramic moving disc is not short of carbon, and the oxidation resistance is good, but the heat transfer effect is worse than the carbon brake disc.
Ceramic brake pads originated from the end of the last century F1 motor sport, F1 brake pads must have the characteristics of short braking distance, high temperature resistance, wear resistance and so on. Ceramic brake pads are based on cermet principles. Due to the high speed and vigorous braking, the brake disc produces high temperature on the friction surface. It is measured that it can reach 800~900 degrees, some even higher. At this high temperature, a similar metal sintering reaction will occur on the surface of ceramic brake pads, making the brake pads have good stability at this temperature. Under the condition of low temperature, high temperature or water, its physical properties do not change much. After repeated braking, good friction material will not reduce its braking force, so that the braking force reduction “brake pedal feeling” remains good. Good friction materials will also reduce wear and noise; Ceramic brake pads are favored by consumers for their braking sensitivity, high temperature resistance, low noise probability, no damage plate, no dirty hub and other advantages; Known as the asbestos brake pad, semi-metal brake pad, metal brake pad after the new generation of upgrade products.

1. No noise.
Ceramic brake pad installed, normal running will not produce abnormal noise (i.e. scraping sound). Ceramic brake pads do not contain metal particles, avoid the traditional metal brake pads and Angle brake disc friction caused by noise and scratching.
2. Extend the service life of the brake disc.
Ceramic brake pads will not scratch or scratch the brake disc after use, and extend the service life of the original brake disc by 20%. Ceramic brake pads do not contain metal particles, but rather well-rubbed wire.
3. High temperature resistance.
Ceramic brake pads, ceramic material itself has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and fast heat dissipation. Its high temperature resistance is (500 degrees Celsius), can fully meet the use of most vehicles requirements (the original vehicle metal or semi-metal brake pad high temperature resistance of about 260-280 degrees Celsius).
4. Braking performance is significantly improved:
After the use of ceramic brake pads, the braking performance of vehicles is generally 20%-30% higher than that of ordinary brake pads. Because the friction coefficient of ceramic brake pad is good, the physical characteristics of ceramic brake pad change little in the case of low temperature, high temperature or water, even if repeated braking, braking force will not decrease significantly.
5. Environmental protection:
Ceramic brake pads do not contain carbide and graphite, after long-term use, there will be no black metal powder corrosion of the wheel ring, to ensure the beauty of the vehicle.
