- Ceramic vs Semi-Metallic Brake Pads -What's the Difference? In this video, we will discuss the difference between Ceramic and Semi-Metallic Brake Pads and which one is better.
The Main Difference Between These Ceramic And Semi-Metallic Brake Pads Is How They Conduct Heat.
Semi-Metallic Brake Pads are made of several metals, including copper, iron, and aluminum, which are good conductors of heat. On the other hand, Ceramic Brake pads are made of ceramic with embedded copper wires. Thus, Ceramic brake pads conduct less heat, and most of the heat generated is distributed along to other braking system components.
Ceramic and Semi-Metallic Brake Pads' Efficacy Differs Depending On Vehicle Performance.
When operating high-performance vehicles, especially those that carry heavy loads or are used in racing, you might consider having the Semi-Metallic Brake Pads. These can absorb heat well under extreme braking conditions, which is convenient for frequent heavy braking. This is because they are made of a mix of metals, which are good conductors of heat. Ceramic Brake Pad tends to act as an insulator. Although they are infused with copper wires, Ceramic is a poor conductor of heat, and most of the heat will build up.
The Two Also Differ In Terms Of Noise and Dust Release
Semi-Metallic Brake Pads are made of soft material. They do not have a firm grip on the rotors, and this results in a squealing noise. Ceramic Brake Pads are hard and achieve a firm grip on the rotors. When in use, no noise is made.
Are There Any Similarities between Ceramic and Semi-Metallic Brake Pads?The two types of brake pads are not exactly similar in any way, maybe only by function; stopping the vehicle.
To Sum Up, Which Is Better - Ceramic Or Semi-Metallic Brake Pads?
Ceramic and Semi-Metallic Brake Pads are equally useful depending on the purpose of your vehicle. If you engage in extreme driving or carry heavy loads, Semi-Metallic Brake Pads are most suited for your vehicle. On the other hand, if you engage in regular driving, Ceramic Brake Pads are most suitable since they are quiet and comfortable.

Fair and impartial interpretation. thanks！ Husch is good at both semi-metal and ceramic pads. any one who want to try Husch brake pads can leave message and apply for free samples for trial. Thanks.
Thanks, very informative video 🙏
A very concise, and informative video. I needed this you got a new subscriber.
I learned a lot
My rotors warped and brakes faded after I switched to ceramic pads on my FJ Cruiser. I’m replacing the rotors and switching back to OEM pads.
I read somewhere that ceramic is bad on heavy vehicles
So which one is better?
i know 😅 but since the ceramic is quiet and has less dust i think its better for us 😊.
Good ceramic brakes are the new thing. You can see them on performance vehicles. This is video is not that good
Still was a good video
Ceramic is soft, and semi-metallic is hard
The lady was pressing the gas pedal
Or were the pedals swapped? 😂
@@i_am_gohan9232 😆
Rubbish,soft brake pads grip the disc more effectively but wear quicker and make more dust,ie Ferodo Zero without much disc wear.The harder the pads,the more wear,which do you want to replace more often pads or discs.? Many years of track car and road car experience.
Ceramic brake pads for my Audi A4 Avant Quattro 2022 are more expensive than the discs ;)
That’s false
Nothing Savvy. Crap summary. Useless. Nothing about wear characteristics . Typical journalistic double talk.
What would you have wanted to see in the video ?
@@TheSavvyProfessor I was not trolling you to criticize you. Simply compare your analysis and information against other peoples materials on TH-cam.
Don't say anything wrong with it, it was general information for the non-technician. It did not go too deep into the subject in that is fine. There are plenty of other videos for that.
