Why High Carbon ? |
| » |
Brake discs produced in high
carbon irons have optimal thermal conductivity. Casting performance
is excellent with good structural integrity. |
| » |
The use of high carbon shows
that the discs run cooler and are therefore less likely to distort
and help reduce performance-related problems such as hot judder. |
| » |
Such high carbon irons offer
the advantage of increased damping capacity and good resistance
to distortion and thermal cracking. These are important properties
for high performance vehicles offering high levels of vehicle
refinement. |
| » |
The adoption of high carbon cast
iron brake discs over lower carbon materials is recommended.
As a result, NVH (squeal and judder in particular) and other
performance problems associated with these lower carbon irons
should be overcome. |
