When it comes to the braking system of a car, brake pads are an essential component. The caliper, the brake pads, and the rotor all play a role in disc brakes' proper operation. The rotor is held in place by the caliper's brake pads, which are located within the caliper. To stop the wheel, friction on the rotor wears away at the brake pads over time. Brake pads are divided into four following categories: Semi-metallic Semi-metallic brake pads contain approximately 30% to 65% metal. Materials like steel wool, wire, and copper might be added. These components are then joined by an organic resin. They are then shaped and fired in a furnace to increase their durability. One of Semi-Metallic's great advantages is their toughness. They withstand heat better and are gentler on rotors than ceramic pads. They are cheaper, and when there is about 60% metal in them, they can handle hard braking for a long time. Semi-Metallic brake pads are ideally designed for high-performance vehi ... read more
