Is it necessary to replace brake pads when changing brake discs?

[DelSadie]

Replacing brake discs does not necessarily require changing the brake pads. If the brake pads still have sufficient thickness, they can be retained when replacing the brake discs. A brake disc is a circular disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. The braking force is generated when the brake calipers clamp onto the brake disc. When you press the brake pedal, the calipers grip the disc to slow down or stop the vehicle. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking actions is largely determined by the condition of the brake pads. Typically, brake pads 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 SMT4 oven temperature tracker to ensure quality by measuring the temperature distribution during coating.
