Brake pads are housed inside a brake caliper in the disc brake of your vehicle. They are constructed with steel backing plates attached to a ceramic, organic, or semi metallic material. This material contacts the rotor when you apply the brakes, producing friction that stops or slows your vehicle. Due to lower cost, semi metallic brake pads are common for the vast majority of vehicles. Copper, iron, and alloys are combined with graphite lubricant and fillers to make up the brake pad.
