What material is the brake pad made of? How much does it cost to change a brake pad?
Nowadays, many people pay more attention to the brake pads. In fact, the metal brake pads are better than the ceramic brake pads in terms of wear resistance and high temperature resistance
What material is the brake pad made of
Ordinary cars on the market are generally metal brake pads. If they are high-end cars, they may use ceramic brake pads.
The composition of ceramic brake pads is better. They almost have no metal composition, and they have better heat resistance. Even at high temperatures, they can better exert their braking ability, so they are safer. In addition, their wear resistance will be better. Therefore, for cars with high requirements on braking performance, ceramic brake pads will be used.
Metal brake pads generally include small metal brake pads and semi metal brake pads. The small metal brake pads are better than the semi metal brake pads. They are mostly used in mid-range cars, and the semi metal brake pads are mostly used in ordinary cars. They have a certain disadvantage, that is, the brake noise is high.
How much does it cost to change a brake pad
The brake pads are also made of different materials, and the prices are different for different materials. Generally, the price of a brake pad is about 150-200 yuan. For some brake pads with better materials, the price will be higher, usually about 300-500 yuan. When replacing, you can choose according to your own economic conditions.
The cycle of brake pad replacement cannot be fixed, because the driving habits of car owners are different. If the front brake pads are replaced after driving for 30000 to 50000 km, the rear brake pads can be replaced after driving for 60000 to 100000 km.
Of course, this is just a reference. It depends on the wear of the brake pads. Usually, you should check the wear of the brake pads more. If the wear is serious, you should replace them as soon as possible, regardless of the mileage.
How often should the brake pads be replaced
Under normal circumstances, when the vehicle travels about 30000 km, it is necessary to check the brake pads of the vehicle. The front brake pads of the vehicle need to be replaced when the vehicle travels about 30000 km to 50000 km, and the rear brake pads of the vehicle need to be replaced when the vehicle travels about 60000 km to 100000 km.
Of course, this data is not absolute. If the driver is always in the habit of stepping on the brake hard, or the road surface is uneven when driving, it is necessary to shorten the brake pad replacement cycle
