Brembo sgl carbon ceramic brakes a joint venture between brembo and sgl group is the worldwide benchmark in design development and production of carbon ceramic brake.
Carbon carbon vs carbon ceramic brakes.
The carbon ceramic brakes fitted as standard on many high performance vehicles are constructed in one of two ways either a core of ceramic material reinforced with chopped carbon fibre with an additional ceramic layer on the friction surface or simply the core of ceramic material with chopped carbon fibre and no outer friction layer.
Finally carbon ceramic brakes are much cleaner and quieter than conventional steel brakes.
They can also be prone to squeaking particularly at low speed and after a period of intensive use.
But mostly the pads and rotors are composed of various components and resins baked into ceramic form car and driver explains.
Performance excellence and driving comfort aesthetic excellence of the car and safety.
At high temperatures carbon ceramic materials are also less resistant to deformation or warping which means that they should last a bit longer than traditional brakes.
The main downside remains the aforementioned cost.
Carbon ceramic brakes refer to the carbon ceramic composite material that the rotors are made of offering superior braking performance during extreme use.
This is because the material they re made from is much less reactive than steel and iron due to the material s tightly bonded structure.
This composite construction offers lighter stronger and more durable disks than their steel counterparts.
In the case of carbon ceramic brakes the usual ingredients are silicon carbide and carbon fibers.
Then the characteristics of carbon carbon is most can play a role because carbon carbon brake disk its characteristics is that although normally also have a certain range but when in fact the driver stepped on the brake when its use the more its friction coefficient will be stronger and stronger so this is carbon carbon and the difference between carbon ceramic brake disc.
The 390 mm carbon ceramic discs at the front are coupled to 6 piston calipers with a 143 cm2 pad while the 360 mm carbon ceramic discs on the rear are coupled to 4 piston calipers with a 77 cm2 pad.
Carbon ceramic brakes however sometimes lack brake feel owing to their preference to operate at higher temperatures.
So where does that leave ceramic brakes.
Carbon ceramic brakes on the other hand are virtually immune to corrosion.
And it s this 3 way blitz where carbon ceramics shine over steel.
