Iron red, scientifically known as red iron oxide (Fe₂O₃), is a common inorganic compound that typically appears as a bright red powder and is considered a high-quality inorganic pigment. It has various industrial applications, particularly in the manufacturing of automotive brake pads, where its roles include the following aspects:
1. Improved Friction Performance:
• Iron red is used as a friction modifier in brake pads due to its moderate hardness and high specific surface area, which can increase the friction coefficient between the brake pad and the brake disc, enhancing braking efficiency. When the brake pad contacts and rubs against the brake disc, the iron red component can provide the necessary frictional force, helping the vehicle to decelerate or stop more quickly.
2. Heat Resistance:
• Iron red has excellent high-temperature resistance, and under the high-temperature conditions generated by intense friction in brake pads, it does not easily decompose or volatilize, maintaining stable friction performance and reducing thermal fade during braking.
3. Enhanced Mechanical Strength:
• When added as a filler to the composite materials of brake pads, iron red can improve the overall mechanical strength and wear resistance of the brake pads, slowing down the wear rate of the materials and extending the lifespan of the brake pads.
4. Color Indication:
• Iron red pigment can also serve a visual indication purpose, making it easier to observe the wear level of the brake pads, allowing drivers to timely replace severely worn brake pads and ensure driving safety.
5. Environmental Considerations:
• As a non-toxic and harmless pigment, the use of iron red in brake pads aligns with the modern automotive industry's requirements for environmental protection and sustainable development.
It is important to note that different types of brake pad formulations may contain varying proportions and types of iron red or other friction modifiers, and manufacturers make reasonable selections and combinations based on performance requirements and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the use of iron red in brake pads should also consider the synergistic effects with other materials such as graphite, iron powder, ceramic particles, etc., to achieve optimal braking performance.
