Carbon rotors like those used in F1 cars have a higher operating temperature than normal brakes and need to be kept at higher temperature in order to be effective.
My oringal idea was to make a ceramic composite brake, similar to Porsche's Carbon Fiber in a SiC matrix. However, I'm on a team building a formula car in college and we are limited by a budget or what we have the ability to fabricate. I still have to look into whether or not a CMC is a...
Thanks for the TiB2 idea. I did a little research and it looks like that may work well. I do have another question now though. How do I figure out what compounds have a high coefficient of friction with TiB2 (i.e. what material of break pads do I use with it)? I don't want to use incompatible...
I'm looking for a ceramic coating to be used on Titanium brake rotors. The coating needs to be stable at high temps (high being relative, I don't have an exact temperature unfortunately). The coating is over brake rotors so the coefficient of friction can not change adversly at high temperature...
