Product Details
Ceramic Matrix Composite, CMC, Carbon-Ceramic Brake Discs
Description
Carbon-ceramic brake discs are part of a special class of materials
called ceramic matrix composites, often abbreviated with the
acronym CMC. These innovative discs were born during the 1970s in
the aerospace field. Only in the following decade, the first
applications for motorsport arrived. Carbon ceramic brakes (a.k.a. ceramic composite brake discs or CC
brakes) are one of the most common types of disc brakes found in
high-performance cars like Ferraris.

Advantage
Compared to traditional cast-iron brake discs, CMC ones are lighter
in weight by up to 50%. In addition, the ceramic matrix has
properties typical of advanced ceramic materials, such as:
high hardness even at high temperatures
greater wear resistance
low deformation at high temperatures
excellent resistance to corrosion
All these features make CMC brake discs ideal in:
- limiting the effect of fading, that is the loss of effectiveness of
the braking system following long or repeated braking
- increasing the useful life of the discs
Composite materials with ceramic matrix
Ceramic matrix composite materials are a solution to the limit that
advanced ceramics present for structural applications.
Carbon-ceramic brake discs are made of a ceramic matrix (usually
silicon carbide), and of high-strength carbon or silicon carbide
fibers.
