C/C-SiC Materials - From Space to Brakes
Why Ceramic Brake Systems are Attractive
Reduced weight 20 – 25 kg per car Density: 2 g/cm³ (cast iron: 7 g/cm³ ) High hardness, low wear rates Improved performance and comfort (short braking distance, no judder, no fading) Corrosion resistance, low dust pruduction
