Magnesium oxide (MgO) is an important inorganic compound, a white powdery solid with a very high melting point (about 2852°C), and it has stable chemical properties, high temperature resistance, fire resistance, and corrosion resistance, while also possessing good electrical insulation and a certain level of alkalinity. In the field of brake pad manufacturing, magnesium oxide plays an important role, with the following specific functions:
1. Increase decomposition temperature:
• Magnesium oxide can increase the decomposition temperature of organic binders such as resins in brake pads, thereby reducing the thermal decomposition of the binder at high temperatures, which minimizes the phenomenon of 'thermal fade', ensuring that the brake pads maintain stable friction performance under continuous high-intensity braking conditions.
2. Enhance high-temperature performance:
• Due to the high-temperature resistance of magnesium oxide, it can help brake pads maintain good mechanical properties and friction coefficients even at extremely high temperatures, preventing material softening or deformation caused by high temperatures, thus ensuring the reliability and safety of the braking system.
3. Wear resistance and stable friction coefficient:
• Adding magnesium oxide can improve the wear resistance of brake pads, reduce the wear of friction materials during braking, and help maintain a stable friction coefficient, ensuring the continuous effectiveness of braking torque and reducing braking distance.
4. Increase toughness and reduce noise:
• Magnesium oxide helps increase the toughness and strength of friction materials, making them less likely to shatter upon impact, and can reduce vibrations and noise during braking, providing a smoother and quieter braking experience.
5. Reduce micro-cracking and enhance stability:
• Magnesium oxide helps improve the density of friction materials, reducing internal micro-pores and defects, and lowering the risk of crack propagation (micro-cracking) in brake pads due to changes in internal stress during use, thereby enhancing the overall stability and lifespan of the product.
6. Environmental requirements:
• As a non-polluting inert filler, magnesium oxide is also one of the preferred materials for preparing environmentally friendly brake pads, as it does not produce harmful substances during braking, meeting the modern automotive industry's demand for environmentally friendly materials.
In summary, magnesium oxide is a key component of brake pads, crucial for enhancing the overall performance of brake pads, including high-temperature resistance, wear resistance, noise reduction, improved braking efficiency, and stability, thereby ensuring driving safety and comfort. In actual production, strict control standards are in place for the purity, particle size distribution, reactivity, and other impurity content of magnesium oxide to ensure its optimal effect in brake pads.
