A Motorcycle Brake System with C/C-SiC Composite Brake Discs

Friction behavior of sintered metallic brake pads on a C/C–SiC composite brake disc

“…7 In order to find matching brake pads various composite materials were tested as the brake linings in combination with the C/C-SiC brake disc. 7 The brake pads represent the replaceable element in the friction couple and are typically rubbed against the brake disc.…”

“…7 In order to find matching brake pads various composite materials were tested as the brake linings in combination with the C/C-SiC brake disc. 7 The brake pads represent the replaceable element in the friction couple and are typically rubbed against the brake disc. The friction behavior of classical brakes (organic brake pads/gray cast-iron or steel brake discs) is determined by the character of the brake surfaces of the disc and pad and by the friction layer between these surfaces.…”
