Silicon carbide powder GC400# for friction material of brake pad
Silicon carbide powder GC400# has high hardness, high temperature resistance, and chemical stability, making it ideal as a reinforcing filler in automotive brake friction materials. Its main advantages are:
- High hardness and stable coefficient of friction provide continuous and reliable braking force during braking, preventing brake fatigue or slippage.
- Outstanding high-temperature resistance; it does not easily soften or decompose under the high temperatures generated by frequent braking, effectively reducing heat fade and ensuring braking safety under high speeds and heavy loads.
- Excellent wear resistance, which improves the overall service life of brake pads and reduces excessive wear on brake discs, extending the life of the entire braking system.
- Good thermal conductivity, which quickly dissipates heat generated during braking, reducing damage to the friction material from localized high temperatures and improving stability under high-temperature conditions.
- Strong chemical inertness, resistance to oxidation and corrosion, maintaining stable performance even in harsh environments such as humidity and acid/alkali conditions, making it suitable for various vehicle usage scenarios.
In practical applications, both green silicon carbide powder and black silicon carbide powder can be used as friction materials. Customers can choose silicon carbide powder with appropriate purity and particle size according to different application scenarios (such as motorcycle brake pads, automobile brake discs, high-speed rail braking systems or aviation braking systems).
