What materials are ceramic brake pads made of?

Release time:

2024-12-29

Ceramic brake pads have revolutionized the traditional concept of ceramic brake pads. They are made from ceramic fibers, iron-free filler materials, adhesives, and a small amount of metal. Ceramic brake pads are a type of brake pad, and many consumers initially mistakenly believe they are made of ceramic. In fact, ceramic brake pads are based on the principles of metal ceramics rather than non-metal ceramics. When braking with high speed and force, the friction surface generates high temperatures, which can reach 800 to 900 degrees, and in some cases even higher. At these high temperatures, the surface of the brake pad undergoes a sintering-like reaction similar to that of metal ceramics, providing good stability at this temperature. In contrast, traditional brake pads do not undergo a sintering reaction at these temperatures. The rapid increase in surface temperature can cause the surface material to melt or even create a gas cushion, which can lead to a significant reduction in braking performance or complete brake failure after continuous braking.
