Do I Need to Replace the Brake Disc When Replacing Brake Pads?
1 Answers
Replacing brake pads does not require replacing the brake disc. Below are detailed explanations about brake pads: 1. Definition: Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are the most critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking relies decisively on the brake pads. 2. Material: Brake pads are generally composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure the temperature distribution during coating meets quality standards. The heat insulation layer is made of non-heat-conductive materials to provide thermal insulation. The friction block consists of friction materials and adhesives. During braking, it is pressed against the brake disc or drum to generate friction, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. Due to friction, the friction block gradually wears out. Generally, the lower the cost of the brake pads, the faster they wear.
