What are the advantages of carbon ceramic brake discs?
Carbon ceramic brake disc is a brake disc made of carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide-based composite material. It has the advantages of low density,high temperature resistance, high friction performance and stability, and has broad application prospects in high-energy braking fields such as automobiles, high-speed trains, and aircraft.
Carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide material makes carbon ceramic brake pads and friction layers. The main matrix components are silicon carbide (SiC), Industrial silicon (Si) and carbon fiber (C).
Among them, silicon carbide determines the hardness of the composite material. Carbon fiber increases the material’s mechanical strength and fracture toughness. The properties of ceramic composites ensure their resistance to high thermal and mechanical loads.
carbon ceramic brake discs not only have excellent high temperature resistance. but also have the advantage of being lighter in weight due to the raw material carbon fiber. For brake discs of the same size, carbon ceramic brake discs are more than half lighter than traditional brake discs.
