How Many Kilometers Should a Car's Brake Pads Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Car brake pads need to be replaced after driving 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers. Below is relevant knowledge about brake pads: Introduction to Car Brake Pads: Brake pads, also known as brake linings, generally consist 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 quality by detecting the temperature distribution during coating. The heat insulation layer is made of non-heat-conductive materials to provide thermal insulation. Causes of Brake Pad Wear: Inferior materials and structures of brake discs or drums can lead to premature wear of brake pads. Long-term damage to the brake calipers in the braking system can cause the brakes to not release properly, resulting in prolonged dragging between the pads and discs (or drums) and excessive wear. The use of substandard materials in brake pads and an unreasonably low design density of the friction layer are also contributing factors to severe brake pad wear. Additionally, original brake pads with a small design area, long-term high-speed driving, frequent braking, overloading, and prolonged use under high temperatures are major causes of severe brake pad wear.
