Research and prospect of ceramics for automotive disc-brakes

This article mainly discusses the research status and development trends of ceramics for automotive disc-brakes. According to the ceramic disc-brakes, various properties and characteristics, including fracture toughness, strength, compactness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, micro-morphology, and thermal stabilities are analyzed. In the field of disc-brakes research, the research directions of the ceramics, including high-temperature performance, bionic structure, layered structure, porous structure, eutectic performance, superhard structure, and machinability are analyzed. The analysis of ceramics is expected to find disc-brake materials in line with the future development trends.
