What Are Ceramic Brake Pads?
Ceramic brake pads are friction materials mainly made of mineral fiber, aramid fiber and ceramic fiber.

Ceramic brake pads were originally developed by Japanese brake pad companies in the 1990s. Gradually becoming the new favorite in the brake pad market. A typical representative of ceramic-based friction materials is C/C-SiC composite materials, which are C/SiC composite materials with carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix. Researchers from the University of Stuttgart and the German Aerospace Research Institute in Germany have studied the application of C/C-SiC composite materials in the field of friction, and developed C/C-SiC brake pads for use in Porsche cars. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States The laboratory is cooperating with Honeywell Advanced composites, Honeywell Aireratf Lnading Systems, and Honeywell CommercialVehicle systems to develop low-cost C/SiC composite brake pads to replace cast iron and cast steel brake pads for trucks.
