Materials used for friction elements, such as brake discs, belong to a group of materials that pose significant problems during machining. These materials include metal composites, ceramics, and cast iron. Modern technologies, which include laser machining and abrasive water jet machining, allow for the production of any shape from very hard materials with high machining efficiency and high precision.One of the fundamental automotive components from the point of view of both operational safety and the general technical level of the vehicle is the braking system.
Brake discs are among the most critical and heavily loaded components of the braking system. Their material, quality, and design fundamentally determine the effectiveness of the brakes. Regardless of the type of association, all materials used for friction elements of braking systems should be characterized by, among other things: (…)
