Production Process of Brake Pads

Step 1: Mixing Process - 800 L Plough And Rake Mixer

The brake pads are composed of chemical substances such as steel fibers, mineral wool, graphite, wear inhibitors, resins, etc.

We mix according to the customer’s requirements for the product. The friction coefficient, wear index and noise value are adjusted by the proportional distribution of these raw materials.

Step 2: Brake Plate Processing Process - Gluing Machine

1. Clean: Clean the surface of the steel parts, no oil and dirt means clean.
2. Shot blasting: Shot blasting refers to making the surface of the steel back meet a certain roughness requirement.
3. Gluing: Pay attention to the thickness and coverage rate when applying glue; there is no residue on the surface.

Step 3: Hot Forming Process and Heat Treatment

Pour the mixed raw materials into the mold and press to form, so the two can be more closely combined.

The rough brake pads are put into the oven, fried, and heated for more than 6 hours before continuing processing.

A pair of molds can generally produce 6-8 rough brake pads, and it takes more than half an hour to change a set of molds.

Step 4: Grinding And Cutting Stage

After heat treatment,the brake pad still have many burrs on the surface, so they need to be ground and cut to make them flat.

Step 5: Machining Process

Slotting and chamfering:

Grooving can increase friction, heat dissipation, dust removal, etc. Pay attention to the thickness and flatness of the grinding surface when grooving and chamfering with a linear grinder.

Step 6: Painting Stage

To prevent the iron from rusting and to achieve a beautiful effect, it is necessary to spray paint. Electrostatic spraying (spraying: flat powder, sand grain powder): When spraying powder, pay attention to electrostatic voltage, drying tunnel temperature, and drying tunnel baking time, as well as spray thickness, uniformity, and coating coverage rate.

Step7: Assembly Stage

Pad printing and coding: Coding on the side of the powder block and the steel back, pay attention to the position, size, adhesion, and clarity of the coding. Accessories installation: Accessories assembly (riveting; gluing): Pay attention to studs, positioning holes, positioning grooves; riveting includes rotary riveting (PAD) and pressure riveting (SHOE); pay attention to accessories configuration, accessories positioning.

Accessories firmness and effective alarm length; pay attention to check the alarm, shockproof plate, reinforcement block, wire, Fitting of circlips, springs, gaskets, and other accessories.
