The new ceramic composite brake disc is perforated and internally ventilated, like the conventional metal brake disc, but weighs 50 % less. http://www.autointell.com/news-2000-2/September-05-00-p5.htm See also the following thread Ceramic coating for Titanium - High Temp Stability thread326-63983 Upvote 0 Downvote
