Brake pads are also known as brake linings. The brake pads are the most critical safety component in the braking system of a car, and it is the brake pads that determine the effectiveness of all brakes. In this article, we present a brief introduction and analysis of brake pads by introducing the thermal characteristics of brake pads. At the same time, the basic working principle of brake pads will also be mentioned in this article.
The basic working principle of brake pads.
What do Thermal characteristics of brake pads look like?
What determines the thermal characteristics of brake pads?
Brakes work mainly by friction, using the friction between the brake pads and the brake discs and the tyres and the ground to convert the kinetic energy of the vehicle's movement into the thermal energy of the friction and stop the car. In recent years, the speed of cars has been increasing and the gross weight of lorries and buses has been increasing, which is why the variety of brake pads and the demand for them are constantly increasing.
Whenever a car is driven and the brakes are applied, the brake pads become hot. The high frequency of braking leads to a rise in the temperature of the brake pads, the principle of braking being the conversion of mechanical energy into heat. The braking principle is the conversion of mechanical energy into heat. This is when the car heats up, which is the thermal characteristic of the brake pads. The thermal characteristics of brake pads are able to maintain good characteristics within a certain operating temperature. Therefore, when driving, be careful not to apply the brakes for long periods of time. When driving downhill, try to shift to a lower gear and let the engine hold the speed of the car. Do not use the brakes too much, as this can lead to overheating and fading of the brake system, which can lead to brake pad wear and eventual brake system failure.
Brake pad material
For most components, the heat resistance is determined by the material used to manufacture them, and brake pads are no exception. Our brake pads are mainly manufactured from parametallic, low steel, ceramic, ceramic without copper and other materials. These materials are stable and heat resistant, with an average maximum temperature of 350°C. They are also low dust and low noise.
Maintenance
The way in which the brake pads are maintained determines their durability and thermal characteristics. When the brake pads are hot, do not use water to cool them directly without special circumstances to avoid deformation of the brake pads.
