Carbon/carbon brake discs have long been used in aircraft braking systems. Because carbon brake discs are lighter than metals and can endure temperatures of up to 1000 degrees Celsius, they can carry more weight per flight and use less fuel.
Because they can dissipate more heat than conventional brakes, carbon ceramic brakes are better at dissipating heat produced while braking. They are therefore perfect for large, high-performance vehicles.
Other benefits include improved braking response, increased fading stability, excellent control, improved directional stability, and brake dust protection. An extraordinarily long brake disc life is ensured by high thermal stability, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance.
As the kinetic energy of the aircraft is converted to thermal energy by the friction between the discs, heat is produced. As the aeroplane releases kinetic energy, the brakes serve as a heat sink, absorbing enormous amounts of heat. The temperature of carbon disc brakes can rise above 1,800° C during RTO pauses.
Wherever light weight and great strength are required, carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials are utilised to create parts for aircraft and spacecraft, race car bodies, golf club shafts, bicycle frames, fishing rods, vehicle springs, sailboat masts, and many other items.
Carbon fibre is twice as rigid and five times stronger than steel. Although lighter than steel and stronger and stiffer than steel, carbon fibre is the perfect manufacturing material for many items.
The Global Aircraft carbon fiber brake disc market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
An important component that is typically utilised for takeoff, landing, gliding, turning, and stopping the aircraft is the aircraft carbon brake disc, which is fitted in the aeroplane wheel braking device. It serves as a brake, guarantees flight safety, and is a consumable component.
Powder metallurgy brakes and carbon brakes are the two different types of aeroplane brake discs. It is certain that carbon brakes, which have superior mechanical, thermal, frictional, and wear qualities, will take the place of powder metallurgy brakes in the aviation sector.
High-quality components and C/C brake discs from SGL Carbon are utilised in the most popular aircraft types in the world. Key parts of an aircraft that play a significant role in landing, taxiing on the runway, and aborting takeoffs are the brakes. Extreme mechanical and thermal loads are placed on the brake discs.
For your high-performance brakes, they provide you with temperature-resistant goods like PANOX® oxidised PAN fibres and C/C brake discs.
