Semicorex CCB Brakes (Carbon-Ceramic Brakes with Coated Friction Layer) represent the next generation of high-performance braking solutions, engineered for extreme durability, thermal stability, and consistent braking under the most demanding conditions. Choose Semicorex for its expertise in advanced ceramic composites and precision-engineered coating technologies.*
Semicorex CCB Brakes are constructed from a carbon-ceramic composite core that has been improved with a specialized surface coating. In the center of the structure is a carbon-carbon substrate that was chosen for its light weight and high temperature resistance. The core is then reinforced with a ceramic matrix by utilizing the Reactive Melt Infiltration (RMI) process. The eigenolten silicon is injected into the carbon structure where it solidifies as a very rigid SiC ceramic skeleton. The high-performance friction layer is then applied on top of the base, which consists of approximately 80% SiC. This gives us an optimal mix for wear resistance and friction stability across a variety of temperature ranges.
The application of the SiC-rich friction layer via RMI technology provides a dense, uniform, and strongly bonded coating that significantly extends the lifespan of the braking surface. This layer offers consistent coefficient of friction even under repeated high-speed decelerations, making it ideal for use in sports cars, motorcycles, performance sedans, and other high-load braking environments.
First, the C/C blank is prepared by chemical vapor deposition or resin impregnation carbonization, and then the blank is contacted with liquid silicon. Silicon reacts with carbon at high temperature to form SiC, while filling the pores in the blank. Due to its excellent comprehensive performance, it is widely used in advanced fighters, high-speed trains, racing cars and sports cars, and can meet the strict requirements of these high-end equipment for the brake system under complex working conditions such as high speed, high load and high temperature. The surface is coated with a friction layer, and the molten silicon infiltration RMI technology is used to greatly enhance the anti-oxidation and anti-friction coefficient of the brake disc and increase the service life of the brake disc.
CCB Brakes have low thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity. This allows CCB Brakes to avoid cracking and deformation due to extreme thermal energy. The high SiC amount used in the braking surface provides very high hardness and abrasion resistance levels ensuring very low wear rates and longer service intervals. In contrast with traditional iron brakes systems, CCB Brakes are very light weight which reduces unsprung weight and improves handling dynamics.
Another critical advantage is the corrosion resistance of the CCB surface, which ensures superior performance in wet and aggressive environments, such as coastal roads or racetracks. The braking response remains smooth and responsive, with minimal brake fade, even after repeated use at elevated temperatures.
CCB Brakes are the preferred choice in high-performance automotive and motorcycle sectors. They are frequently used in OEM installations for luxury and sports vehicles, racing applications, and heavy-duty motorcycles where performance and reliability are paramount. With their advanced RMI SiC-coated surface, these brakes require less maintenance, produce less brake dust, and maintain their structural integrity longer than conventional systems.
Combining lightweight carbon-ceramic construction with an SiC-rich friction layer formed through RMI infiltration, Semicorex's CCB Brakes deliver the ultimate in high-performance braking. Whether on the street or the track, these brakes provide unmatched durability, consistent friction, and superior thermal performance—raising the bar for braking technology.
