The status quo and development direction of automotive brake pads at home and abroad
Brake linings for automobiles are commonly referred to as "brakes" and can be divided into two categories according to their purpose: service brakes and parking brakes. Driving brakes are again divided into disc brakes and drum brakes. Brake linings for automobiles are key safety components in the automotive industry. The braking and parking of automobiles are inseparable from it. The quality of brake linings for automobiles is directly related to people's life and property safety, and their functional status is not. Conceived.
Foreign industry status
The brake pad industry in developed countries is currently in a leading position in terms of technical processes, quality management, etc. The development of brake pad manufacturers and vehicle companies is synchronized. From the selection of brake pads to the output of samples, noise testing must be performed. Tests, matching tests, and winter and summer road tests are repeatedly tested until their performance meets the requirements and are stable before they can be mass-produced.
At the same time, due to the huge market of China's domestic brake pads, a favorable economic environment, and low labor costs, foreign brake pads companies are now showing a trend of shifting production capacity to China. This situation also has hidden concerns while driving the development of the domestic brake pad industry. Foreign well-known enterprises have product, brand, and capital advantages, which is a challenge for ethnic enterprises.
From the perspective of the worldwide technological development of brake pads, the most successful research and application of semi-metal formulations should be in North America; the most successful in research and application of low-metal formulations should be in Europe; NAO (non-asbestos organics) The most successful formula research and application should belong to Japan. But looking at the development trend of the entire world brake pad products, although various formula systems have their application market, the low metal formulations and NAO formulas have become the trend to guide the development of friction materials, and now NAO formula friction materials have occupied the North American host. More than 60% of the market, although low-metal friction materials still occupy the main body of the European friction material market, there are already a considerable number of host and aftermarket markets that have a certain demand for NAO formulated friction materials.
Domestic industry status
Due to the late start of the Chinese auto industry, the narrow market of the auto parts industry, and the lack of understanding of the brake lining industry in China, the brake lining industry has been in a state of development and exploration, resulting in a brake lining industry for automobiles and the international advanced level. Big gap. In terms of technology, equipment, and standards, long-term follow-up of the old technology model, slow technological progress, new product development and product quality upgrading, etc. lag behind market demand; management is relatively extensive, and product specifications cannot enter the standard evaluation system of the mainstream international market. Export share is minimal.
With the development of China's automobile manufacturing industry, especially with the rapid growth of export trade in recent years, we have had many opportunities for exchange with foreign advanced manufacturing companies and automotive OEMs, including friction material manufacturers including leading companies in Europe and America. And raw material suppliers, etc. successively landed in China, set up joint ventures, wholly-owned plants, such as TMD, Federal-Mogul, Morse, etc. brake lining companies, Heywick, Link, Green and other production equipment companies, etc., to make China's brake lining The film industry has obtained a lot of information and improvements in raw materials, production processes, production equipment, test methods and standards, testing equipment, and international brake lining development trends. The production capacity has been greatly improved, coupled with the increase in scientific research, our The products have now entered the international aftermarket. They are represented by Shandong Jin Qilin Group and Shandong Xinyi Auto Parts Co., Ltd. It has the capacity to produce more than 20 million sets of automotive brake friction discs annually, and the range can be expanded to over 2,000. A variety of non-asbestos passenger cars, light vehicles, commercial vehicles and other series of brake friction plates, and for the host plant Brake factory to provide support, exports accounted for a large share of total output.
In recent years, domestic brake friction plate manufacturers have also achieved remarkable results in entering the international host matching market. Shandong Shuanglian Braking Material Co., Ltd. and Shandong Xinyi Auto Parts Co., Ltd. have successively obtained orders for the US Daimler Chrysler Motor Company. These achievements have enabled domestic brake linings to truly enter the high-end applications in the international market and have elevated the international image of Chinese products to a new height.
According to incomplete statistics, there are approximately 600 friction material manufacturers in China, with an output value of approximately RMB 10 billion. Among them, 80% of products are brake linings for automobiles and are basically divided into four major blocks: Zhejiang Hangzhou Block ( Hangzhou Hangzhou, Hangzhou West Lake, Zhejiang Hangwan, etc.); Shandong Block (Shandong Golden Kylin, Shandong Xinyi, Shandong Shuanglian, etc.); Hebei Gucheng District Block (Hebei Xingyue, etc.); Hubei Zaoyang Block (Hubei Feilong, Zaoyang, etc.). The total production value of products produced in the four major blocks accounted for approximately 75% of the country's total. In addition, there are also some more well-known joint ventures or wholly-owned enterprises, such as Hangzhou Thamminton Friction Material Co., Ltd., Shijiazhuang Taimington Friction Material Co., Ltd., and Federal-Mogul Friction Products Co., Ltd. Company, Honeywell Friction Materials (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., Rushan Hanking Friction Materials Co., Ltd., etc.
The development of the brake pad industry is not only reflected in the rapid growth of the total economic output, but also in terms of technological progress, management level, etc. Mainly in:
1. Significantly improved product quality. In order to create brand-name products, enterprises have exerted their own comparative advantages to strengthen production management and product quality upgrades. Product variety and quality performance have met the assembly performance requirements of the international automotive industry, and are favored by foreign companies. Export delivery value is high. Increase in amplitude.
2. The capacity for independent research and development has been greatly improved. Many companies have set up scientific research equipment and established their own technical development teams, and they have extensively developed academic exchanges at home and abroad while constantly developing new products. If asbestos-free friction plates are the replacement products of today's international friction materials, the proportion of non-asbestos-based materials for domestically produced friction materials has reached more than 50%, and new high-tech products have also emerged.
Development direction of brake linings in China
In the next five years, the average growth rate of China's entire vehicle production is expected to maintain over 13%, the average growth rate of the supporting market will be over 15%, the automobile aftermarket will increase by an average of 10%, and the export market will increase by an average of over 20%. The average growth rate of China's auto parts market will be above 15%. This has brought unprecedented opportunities for the development of the brake pad industry. At the same time, the National "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" proposes that by the end of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", efforts will be made to increase the concentration of the friction material industry by more than 20%, and the proportion of enterprises that have passed the international quality management system certification will be over 70%. Develop and publish new standards for friction materials that are equivalent to the international standard ISO15484, and allow more than 30% of friction material companies to directly implement international standards and advanced foreign standards. In terms of brand building, the friction materials industry has added two new international brands with independent intellectual property rights and cultivated 4 to 6 Chinese brand names. Therefore, the future development of the brake pad industry will show the following trends:
1. From the perspective of macro development
Focus on technological innovation and improve core competitiveness. Market advantages rely on technological advantages to support, and the soul of technological progress lies in innovation. In the future, the industry will establish a technology innovation system based on independent innovation, key leapfrogging, and leading the future. It will establish a technology innovation system that integrates enterprise as the mainstay, market orientation, and the combination of production, study and research, and strives to improve independent innovation capabilities, integrate innovation capabilities, and introduce and digest and innovate. Ability to provide strong technical support for the industry to transform its economic growth mode and achieve rapid and good development.
Promote the brand strategy and create more well-known brands and independent international brands. Brands are the product of competition and the root of the company's lasting development. Only international brands with well-known brands or independent intellectual property rights can win a place in the high-end supporting foreign markets. The steps to choose into the international market are generally easy first and then difficult. Starting from the aftermarket, and then doing OEM products, it is ultimately necessary to move towards the OEM matching market.
Cultivate strong technical force to provide strong talent support for the development of the industry. As the lifeblood of the development of the industry, whether it is to improve the ability to innovate or promote brand strategy, can not do without a group of high-level technology and management personnel. Therefore, strengthening the construction of a contingent of qualified personnel, especially the construction of scientific and technological contingents, has an overall and strategic significance. It must attract the attention of entrepreneurs. Nowadays, the allocation of human resources has entered the period of marketization. In order to attract talented people and retain talented people, in addition to having strong strength and hardware conditions, they should also have the soft environmental conditions of eagerness and sincerity. It is necessary to strengthen the knowledge update of the older generation of technical personnel and the professional training of young technical personnel. At the same time, it absorbs the scientific and technological forces of related teaching and scientific research institutions to participate in the technology research of the brake film industry and brings into play the advantages of collaboration of production, learning, and research.
2. From the perspective of technological development
At present, China's asbestos brakes also occupy a considerable proportion in certain areas, especially in the heavy-duty brake market. Therefore, it is said that the mature semi-metal formulation, the improvement of the less-metallic formula, and the development of the NAO formulation are the development directions of the brake pad products in China. No noise, no falling ash, no corrosion of wheels, long service life, comfortable braking and environmental protection are the development trend of our brake pads.
For China's brake lining industry, NAO formula will be the main direction for our future development; China's raw material manufacturers must improve production technology and level as soon as possible, actively promote the deep processing ability of raw materials, ensure the stability of raw material quality, and shorten us The distance from the world's high-level raw material suppliers, from the raw materials of the products began to shorten the gap with the world's high-end products; improve the sound test standards, form a complete set of test methods and standards of brake pads and international standards, is to promote China The brake pads industry development protection; eliminate the low-price competition produced by small workshop production, create national brands, and constantly weaken the leadership and monopoly of developed countries in this industry, and truly develop China into a major production base for brake pads.
