What is a ceramic brake disc? What are the advantages over traditional brake discs?

Ceramic brake discs are not ordinary ceramics, but reinforced composite ceramics composed of carbon fiber and silicon carbide at a high temperature of 1700 degrees. Ceramic brake discs can effectively and steadily resist thermal decay, and its heat resistance effect is many times higher than that of ordinary brake discs. The weight of the ceramic disc is less than half of that of the ordinary cast iron disc.

Lighter brake discs mean less weight under the suspension. This makes the suspension system react faster, which can improve the overall control of the vehicle. In addition, ordinary brake discs are prone to thermal degradation due to high heat under full braking, while ceramic brake discs can effectively and stably resist thermal degradation, and their heat resistance effect is many times higher than that of ordinary brake discs.
The ceramic disc can produce the maximum braking force immediately in the initial stage of braking, so there is no need to increase the braking system. The overall braking is faster and shorter than the traditional braking system. In order to resist high heat, the brake piston and brake lining There are ceramics between the blocks for heat insulation. Ceramic brake discs have extraordinary durability. If they are used normally, they will not be replaced for life, while ordinary cast iron brake discs should be replaced after a few years. The disadvantage is that the price of ceramic brake discs is very high.
We recommend the use of ordinary brake discs. Santa Brake is a professional manufacturer of ordinary brake discs. Customers are welcome to call or write.
