Advanced Carbon-Ceramic Brake Discs

Semicorex advanced carbon-ceramic brake discs are composite components made by precision machining of the preformed carbon-carbon preforms via LSI ceramicization at high temperatures of 1500-1800℃. They offer remarkable advantages in weight reduction and high temperature resistance enhancement, which makes them the ideal alternative to conventional steel or iron braking components.

The Performance of Semicorex Advanced Carbon-Ceramic Brake Discs

1. Lightweight advantage:

Typically, every 1 kg of weight saved in the carbon-ceramic brake disc below the vehicle suspension system equates to a 5 kg reduction in overall body mass impact. Semicorex advanced carbon-ceramic brake discs have extremely low density and weigh just 50% to 33% of the iron or steel brake discs, which effectively enhancing vehicle handling, acceleration performance and fuel economy.

2. High temperature resistance:

Thanks to their exceptional high temperature resistance, Semicorex advanced carbon-ceramic brake discs can withstand temperatures up to approximately 1400°C. They show stable braking performance without thermal fade even after continuous high-intensity braking or emergency stops after high-speed driving.

3. Stable friction performance:

Advanced carbon-ceramic brake discs exhibiting a 20% increase in friction coefficient will lead to a 20%–30% reduction in braking distance under the same operating conditions. The friction coefficient of Semicorex advanced carbon-ceramic brake discs ranges from 0.35 to 0.6 and can be tailored according to customer needs. Their stable coefficients of friction provides reliable braking performance for vehicles operating in both dry and wet conditions, which greatly minimizes the potential risks of accidental incidents.

4. Long-lasting service life:

Benefiting from their superior wear and corrosion resistance, Semicorex advanced carbon-ceramic brake discs exhibit remarkable service life (average service life of up to 300,000 kilometers). This long-lasting service life can significantly reduce the frequency of replacement and maintenance costs caused by brake disc damage.
