2. Reinforced carbon–carbon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_carbon–carbon

   The Dunlop carbon brakes as used on the Concorde airliner. The brake disc of this Ferrari race car's braking system is made from carbon fibre-reinforced silicon carbide which is a CMC rather than a C/C. Carbon fibre-reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC) is a development of pure carbon–carbon that uses silicon carbide with carbon fibre.

3. Disc brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

   For normal car and light-truck applications, SAE specification J431 G3000 (superseded to G10) dictates the correct range of hardness, chemical composition, tensile strength, and other properties necessary for the intended use. Some racing cars and airplanes use brakes with carbon fiber discs and carbon fiber pads to reduce weight.

4. Brake pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   Worn brake pads, contaminated brake fluid, faulty brake caliper, faulty master cylinder, loss of vacuum, loss of brake fluid Car pulls to one side when braking Faulty brake caliper, restriction in hydraulic system, brake pad lining(s) contaminated with oil or brake fluid, brake pads not replaced in pairs, brake pad not fitted correctly,

5. Ceramic matrix composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_matrix_composite

   An example of CMC manufacture, which was introduced for the production of ceramic brake discs, is the reaction of silicon with a porous preform of C/C. [14] The process temperature is above 1,414 °C (2,577 °F), that is above the melting point of silicon, and the process conditions are controlled such that the carbon fibers of the C/C-preform ...

6. Brake lining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

   The brake lining is that part of the brake pad which actually contacts the metal brake disc (rotor) when the brake is engaged. Using a typical bicycle brake as an example, the backing would be the metal shell which provides mechanical support, and the lining would be the rubbery portion which contacts the rims when the brakes are applied.

7. Silicon carbide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_carbide

   The Porsche Carrera GT's silicon carbide "carbon-ceramic" disc brake. Silicon-infiltrated carbon-carbon composite is used for high performance "ceramic" brake discs, as they are able to withstand extreme temperatures. The silicon reacts with the graphite in the carbon-carbon composite to become carbon-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC).
