Production
HOW WE MANUFACTURE
Our brake discs are basically made via two processes, casting and hot-pressing.
Let's break it down.
- Casting process
- Casting process
This newly developed casting process makes the production of high-performance brake discs possible. Usually very difficult to cast Aluminum particle reinforced alloys can now be cast into very complex shapes with high particle loadings. The advantage of this casting process is that complex shapes and ventilated discs are much easier to realize compared to hot-pressing.
- Hot-pressing
- Hot-pressing
To cover even faster cars with our new brake discs types a new hot-pressing process was developed. This process allows the use of complex alloys and high particle contents for maximum brake performance at high temperatures. Complex friction layers that contain particles, intermetallic phases and dispersoids, realize unmatched performance. Typical maximum disc diameter is about 500mm. This is sufficient for almost every Automotive application including commuter trains.
