The development of friction materials from the early asbestos material to today's widely used carbon fiber materials, this journey has taken a long time, cohesion of countless people's wisdom. In this process, many materials that do not meet the standards were eliminated, and those that remain are the best of the best, each with unique properties and significant advantages, and the advantages of carbon fiber materials are particularly prominent.
The density of carbon fiber friction material is above 20g/cm³, which is relatively low. This means that in the production of the same volume of friction plate, the weight is lighter, can effectively reduce the equipment on the friction plate bearing pressure, to achieve the light weight of the equipment.
Friction pads made of carbon fiber friction materials have smooth braking curves, high friction coefficients, excellent braking performance, and are able to withstand more frictional thermal shock of braking. Long-term tests and feedback from actual operation show that the material has good wear resistance, which not only extends the service life of the friction pads, but also increases the service life of the friction brake couples.
In addition, carbon fiber brake pads are extremely resistant to the environment. In the humid and acidic gas environment, there will be no corrosion and rust problems, mechanical strength will not deteriorate, and its corrosion resistance is far better than semi-metallic brake pads.
