  • Bimetal brake discs - economic benefits and opportunities for mass production
    Kevorkijan, Varužan
    In the automotive industry there is persistantly growing interest in replacing the current generation of brake discs made in gray iron with 45 to 60% lighter aluminium. However, the main reason for ... introducing a lighter brake disc is not the weight reduction for improving fuel effiency, but rather the reduction of inertial forces, increased acceleration and reduced braking disctance. On the other hand, there is a target price the automotive industry is willing to pay for this replacement. The main purpose of this paper is to identify some new material solutions for brake disc designs suitable for achieving the target price.
