The automotive braking system relies on hydraulic brake fluid to clamp brake pads into rotors. This powerful clamping action creates the stopping resistance at the wheels with extreme friction and heat. Brake pads are made from a metallic composite material that wears away to generate sufficient resistance while limiting rotor wear and tear.
