Prototype development of light weight aluminium matrix composite automotive brake rotor

The global demand for light weight energy savings and high performance characteristic material has translated to the emergence of advance composite materials. Presently, cast iron is used for brake rotor production, however, due to higher density resulting more fuel consumption and emission of carbo...
