Is it normal for brake pads to shed black powder?
1 Answers
It is normal for brake pads to shed black powder, as this is a normal wear phenomenon of automotive brake pads. The material of brake pads is made by heating and compressing powder and rubber. Some brake pads shed powder more quickly, while others do so more slowly. Brake pads that shed powder quickly indicate that the vehicle's comfort is excellent. Automotive brake pads, also known as brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or disc that rotates with the wheel. The friction lining and friction blocks within them bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration. Automotive brake pads are generally composed of steel plates, adhesive heat insulation layers, and friction blocks.
