Carbon-ceramic brakes use a carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide material that offers significant advantages over conventional cast iron brakes. The C/C-SiC material is produced by infiltrating liquid silicon into a carbon-carbon composite core to form a silicon carbide surface layer, providing high friction coefficients even at high temperatures. Carbon-ceramic brakes are lighter than cast iron brakes, improve driving behavior, and offer long lifespan without distortion or judder. As a result, they are used in super-sport cars, luxury SUVs, aircraft, trains, and elevators.
