Carbides for brake disc coating

Innovative solutions based on carbides for fine dust control in the brake system

The Euro 7 standard focuses for the first time on the regulation of particulate matter in the braking system of vehicles. At Treibacher, we have over 40 years of experience in the development of hard materials and work together with our customers on innovative solutions based on carbides, such as titanium carbide and titanium carbonitride for coating brake discs.

Further developments in the field of laser deposition welding, including high-speed laser deposition welding, now make it possible to apply a corrosion and wear-resistant surface coating to the existing concept and design of the grey cast iron brake disc that meets the fine dust requirements of Euro 7. One or two-layer systems are applied, each consisting of a corrosion-resistant metal matrix and a certain volume proportion of hard materials, which are intended to make the brake disc wear-resistant. The hard materials can occur as precipitated hard phases in single-layer systems or are added as hard material particles in the second layer of two-layer systems and integrated into the metal matrix. Ti-based carbides are currently used as hard materials.
