Cast iron is a wonderful material for making brake discs. It’s relatively cheap, easy to cast and machine into shape, and crucially, it has higher thermal conductivity than, say, steel.

Brake pads last longer on the carbon-ceramic systems, too. But at $15 to $20 a disc for steel discs and $665 to $2,660 a disc for carbon-ceramic, owners cannot recoup their cost on the more ...

Whether you've been pushing hard, or going down steep inclines, most drivers know the feeling of stepping on the brakes but ...

Initially, the ceramic friction material for brake pads was developed as a replacement for both organic and semi-metallic parts. This has not happened yet, but there is a good reason for that.

Brembo said the Dyatom carbon-ceramic discs feature five layers of material to provides high thermal performance, with "outstanding" wear resistance even under severe track usage. The design allows ...

“Yes, ceramic discs can degrade if you’re hard on the brakes,” explained Watson. “Heat build-up will degrade the carbon fibres in the disc, so if you’re doing club days we’d always ...
