Composite brake rotor: energy savings and wear performance

The global demand for light weight energy savings and high-performance characteristic material has translated to the emergence of advanced composite materials. Presently, cast iron is used for brake rotor production, however, it has very high-density property which makes the brake disc heavier resul...
