Study on the Friction Characteristics of Disc Brakes with Ceramic Surfaces for High Performance Vehicle

In this study, various methods were reviewed to simultaneously satisfy the high-temperature braking performance required for high-performance vehicles and the brake dust criteria by environmental regulations. Among them, the characteristics of two types of Brake disc with ceramic composite surfaces were evaluated to prevent disc wear even under the condition of using metallic friction materials with excellent fade performance. As a result of the evaluation, carbon ceramic disc without metal-to-metal contact during braking showed superior characteristics compared to hard metal cladding disc.
