Choosing the right brake pads can provide safety protection and keep away from inferior products

　With the rapid development of today's society, cars have become a common means of transportation for us. As is well known, the quality of automotive parts is an important factor affecting the use of vehicles, which is related to the safety of drivers and passengers. But some unscrupulous merchants, in order to seek huge profits, are willing to waste the lives and safety of others by producing inferior products and putting them into the market. If these counterfeit and inferior automotive spare parts products are allowed to enter the consumer market, it will pose huge risks to consumers' safe driving in the future. Brake pads directly affect the braking effect and are important accessories to ensure safe driving of vehicles. If there are defects in the quality of brake pads, it will directly affect the braking effect. Brake pads, as a crucial part of automotive accessories, consumers must identify brand brake pads when choosing.
Brake pads, commonly known as brake pads or brake linings, are one of the most essential components in the braking system of motor vehicles. The quality of brake pads is directly related to the braking effect. High quality brake pads have the characteristics of rapid braking and obvious feedback, which are important guarantees for safe driving. The brake pads are mainly composed of steel plates, adhesive insulation layer, and friction blocks. The insulation layer is composed of materials with relatively inert physical properties, which reduces the transfer of heat generated by friction materials to the steel plate and plays a role in insulation. Friction blocks are composed of friction materials and adhesives. When braking, they are compressed against the brake disc or drum to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of deceleration and braking of the vehicle. Due to friction, the friction blocks will gradually wear out, and generally speaking, brake pads with lower costs will wear out faster.
A good, efficient, and sensitive braking system must have stable, sufficient, and controllable braking resistance, as well as good hydraulic transmission and heat dissipation capabilities, to ensure that the force applied by the driver from the brake pedal can be fully and effectively transmitted to the master cylinder and various sub cylinders, avoiding hydraulic failure and brake capacity degradation caused by high temperature and overheating. Due to the existence of friction effect, the friction blocks gradually wear out. Generally, brake pads with low cost and relatively hard quality have a high wear rate, fast wear speed, short service life, and need to be replaced in a timely manner after the friction material reaches its service life. Otherwise, the steel plate will directly contact the brake disc, lose braking ability, and damage the brake pads, causing serious braking accidents.
Any profitable product will have counterfeit and inferior products. Now, in the domestic automotive parts market. There are many counterfeit and inferior products. Some counterfeit and inferior accessories made by miscellaneous manufacturers have a factory price not exceeding 10 yuan per set. After relevant identification, the quality of some counterfeit and inferior car brake pads is far below the national safety standards, posing great harm. Its main harm is manifested as significant wear on brake calipers and brake discs, reducing their service life; During driving, it is easy to cause the vehicle's wheels to lock up, lose control of direction, extend the braking distance, and fail to stop in time when emergency braking is required, which can easily lead to traffic accidents and pose significant safety hazards.
