Ceramic Brake Disc Material

The brembo group has been manufacturing carbon ceramic discs for automotive applications since 2002 when it first supplied these components for the ferrari enzo.

Ceramic brake disc material.

This high performance material made from a special mixture of powders resins and fibres in a complex manufacturing process has been used since the 1970s in braking systems for aerospace applications and since the 1980s in motorsports. The ceramic materials are the composition of porcelain and clay. Materials ceramic brake pads represent the most recent technology and are created using a combination of ceramic material and copper fiber. Rather than cast iron or steel carbon ceramic brake discs are made from a composite material.

Developed in the 1980s ceramic brake pads area blend of super strong ceramic think of it a bit like pottery fired in a kiln with copper fibers embedded into the pad compound. These pads are very durable and smooth gripping capability. The most amazing fact is it works very silently. So like their metallic counterparts they do use metal parts but the main material is ceramic.

This is a super quiet pad. High performance minimum weight. Silicon resin is shot through with small grains of carbon fiber and moulded into the shape of a brake disc with regular holes added radially to create cooling vents. Ceramic brake pads ceramic brake pads are the new ish kid on the block.
