It slices! It dices! It makes the best brake pads on the market! As it turns out, ceramic materials are not just for dolls and dishes. They can be used to make buildings, knives (or virtually anything else with a blade) and, yes, brake pads. The reason is because ceramic is actually an incredibly hard material (second only to diamonds) and, thus, doesn’t wear down easily. To read about all the other reasons why ceramic brake pads are desirable over other types, check out the article here from The Tire Rack. If you’re looking for home uses of ceramic, check out Kyocera products for ceramic knives, scissors, scrapers, and even pens.
