Introduction
Important factors that are required:High speed ,powerful engine and Safety measures.Brake system should be able to stop the vehicle within the smallest possible distance.(safety) .
converting kinetic energy into heat energy.
Efficient braking
• High Coefficient of Friction – Brake pad material and disc material
• Stable Coefficient of Friction– Sufficient heat conductivity
Brake disk materials
Cast iron brake diskHeavy weight , poor wear resistance
Carbon brake diskHigh heat resistanceLow wear resistance ,poor oxidation resistence
C-C/SiC Brake Disks
Light weight High wear and
corrosion resistance High thermal shock
resistance High strength at
higher temperatures
Development
1. Generation discs were toughned with woven carbon fiber fabrics•Inadequate transverse heat conductivity2. Generation discs have short high-modulus carbon fibers•Good transverse heat conductivity•Good strenght
Manufacutre of C/C-SiC insport cars
Materials Preparation
carbon fibers (reinforcement)
silicon carbide and metallic
silicon (matrix)
main component,
assures great hardness
high mechanical strength
resistance, fracture
toughness
Quality ControlNDE Methods:penetration technique ultrasonic testingX-ray analysis
Cost
• High price of carbon ceramic brake disks is probably the most restricting reason why they are not more widely used, calculations by DLR Company, manufacturing cost 350 Euro.
ConclusionBenefits of CMC brake disks
– High and consistent frictional coefficients– Weight advantage over conventional cast iron components
(65%)– Not affected by corrosion– Long life span
due to its advantages over the conventional brake disc CMC are going to be the brake disc for cars in the future. With the success of e.g. Porsche turbo car, many other racing cars and commercial vehicles are going to implement CMC in cars.
