1. Asbestos
Asbestos is the earliest material used in clutch pads because it has excellent heat resistance and friction properties, but because asbestos is carcinogenic and has health risks, the development of brake pad materials no longer use asbestos materials.
2. Semi-metal brake pads
3. Less metal brake pads
Compared with the former, the overall performance is also much higher. At present, it is only equipped with brake pads in many mid-range cars. Of course, it is difficult to distinguish it from semi-metal.
4. Ceramic brake pads
This kind of brake pads is higher than the above brake pads in terms of performance and price, and the price required for different configurations is also very different.
5. High carbon carbon fiber
Carbon fiber friction material is the best performance among various types of friction materials. Carbon fiber friction pads have high absorption power per unit area and light specific gravity, and are especially suitable for the production of aircraft brake pads. They are also used in the brake pads of some high-end sports car-level racing cars abroad. Because of its high price, its application range is limited.
