What to do if the brake pads are smoking in high temperature weather?

What to do if the brake pads are smoking in high temperature weather?

When the brake pads are smoking, it is recommended to park the car on a flat surface without a slope, release the handbrake, and put it in neutral. Then, try to push the car. If it doesn't move or is difficult to push, that means the rear wheels are locked. If it moves easily, there is another possibility: brake fluid from the rear wheels may be leaking onto the brake disc, causing high temperatures during braking that lead to evaporation or even burning and smoking. Regardless of whether it is one of the above reasons or some other issue, it is advisable for drivers to have their vehicle checked at a repair shop, as safety is the top priority.

Research on the Carbon-Ceramic Brake Disc Industry: Electric Intelligent Execution Terminals, Vast Blue Ocean Market

Research on the Carbon-Ceramic Brake Disc Industry: Electric Intelligent Execution Terminals, Vast Blue Ocean Market

The automotive braking system is a key component of a vehicle. The brake pads and brake discs form a pair of friction pairs, achieving braking functionality through the brake pads acting on the counterpart. The automotive braking system refers to the installation of specialized braking devices on the vehicle to technically ensure safe driving and improve the average speed of the vehicle, making it one of the critical components of a car. Taking disc brakes as an example, the main braking components consist of the brake disc, brake caliper, friction pads, sub-pump, and oil pipes. The brake disc is the friction pair of the disc brake, and during the vehicle's operation, the brake disc rotates with the tires. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to achieve deceleration or stopping. The brake pads, which are the friction pads installed within the brake caliper, are pressed against the brake disc during emergency braking, generating friction to slow down the vehicle. The braking components are among the most important safety parts of motorized equipment and vehicles. The quality of the automotive braking system directly determines the safety factor for passengers. Enhancing safety performance, reducing environmental and noise pollution, and extending service life are major trends in the development of brake materials.

Lifespan of Brake Pads: 5 Effective Ways to Extend the Life of Your Car's Brake Pads

Lifespan of Brake Pads: 5 Effective Ways to Extend the Life of Your Car's Brake Pads

As an important part of car maintenance, the lifespan of brake pads is directly related to driving safety and the driving experience. When brake pads are severely worn, braking performance will be affected, leading to longer stopping distances and a higher risk of brake failure. To extend the lifespan of brake pads, Hongchuan Brake Pads will introduce 5 effective methods.

How often should brake fluid be changed? What are the consequences of not changing it?

How often should brake fluid be changed? What are the consequences of not changing it?

When it comes to braking systems, many people immediately think of well-known brands of brake calipers and high-performance brake pads. However, for an excellent braking system to be able to "stop" at critical moments, relying solely on these "hardware" components is clearly not enough. It also requires an important "software" to work in conjunction with them in order to achieve the desired braking effect.

Methods for Dealing with Noisy Brake Pads

Methods for Dealing with Noisy Brake Pads

Currently, based on actual conditions, the probability of the original brake pads scratching the original brake discs is over 50%. However, since they are original parts and the scratches do not produce any noise, 90% of repair shops and drivers do not believe that the original pads can damage the discs. Therefore, when replacing the pads, they often do not actively check whether the brake discs have scratches. It is only when the new pads start making noise that they check and discover the scratches on the brake discs. This often leads to drivers demanding compensation from the repair shops, dealers, or manufacturers for the damaged brake discs, which is clearly a case of being unfairly blamed due to human factors. Handling method: When replacing brake pads, it is essential to first check for any scratches on the brake discs. If there are scratches, it is advisable to suggest either smoothing them out or replacing the discs. If the driver disagrees, this should be noted on the repair order and signed by the driver, which helps avoid future noise or damage to the discs that could lead to claims from the driver.

What materials are ceramic brake pads made of?

What materials are ceramic brake pads made of?

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.
