Abstract

Carbon ceramic composite brakes offer excellent braking performance, good vehicle appearance and a significant weight reduction in unsprung mass. This allows for improved energy efficiency and maximized driving performance. Therefore, they are expected to be widely adopted in high-performance electric vehicles in the future. However, research on the durability of composite brakes under harsh, repeated braking environment remains insufficient. In this paper, we propose a new composite disc to address this limitation. First, the durability of both existing and new composite discs was assessed. Second, the manufacturing method, structure and mechanical properties of the new composite disc were analyzed. The analysis results confirmed that the mechanical properties of the new composite disc were significantly improved compared to those of the existing composite disc. Third, the new composite disc underwent harsh, repeated braking environment tests to verify durability. Finally, the friction characteristics of the new composite disc were assessed to confirm its effectiveness.
