RELIABLE: Wear Resistant Lightweight Aluminium Brakes for Vehicles

“铸铁制动盘是乘用车使用的主要制动解决方案。这些刹车因其沉重的重量而不利于燃料消耗。它们还对人体健康造成重大危害，因为它们在佩戴时释放出金属微粒。这些刹车主要用于乘用车，是车辆颗粒物排放的第二大来源，是空气污染的重要来源。Keronite International Ltd和Alcon Components开发了一种用于乘用车的耐磨轻质制动盘，以克服上述问题。我们已经通过与英国领先大学和专家车辆系统测试机构进行的成功试验和测试证明了这一概念。为了将我们的解决方案提升到一个新的水平，我们与爱尔康组件公司建立了开发合作关系，后者将在先进制动系统的开发和制造方面提供专业知识和技能。我们将共同开发一个创新的轻型低磨损制动盘的早期原型，用于全面的测力计测试和初步的车载试验。通过克服现有涂料和最先进的解决方案的局限性，我们的技术将解决一个迫切的未满足的市场需求。反过来，我们希望为英国经济创造大量出口，并在此过程中为英国创造大量高技能工作岗位。”

"Cast iron brake discs are the predominant brake solution used in passenger cars. These brakes are detrimental to fuel consumption due to their onerous weight. They are also a significant human health hazard because of the metal particulates that are emitted as they wear. These brakes are predominantly used in passenger cars and are the second largest contributor of particulate emissions from a vehicle, a significant contributor to air pollution.Keronite International Ltd and Alcon Components have developed a wear-resistant lightweight brake disc for use in passenger vehicles to overcome the aforementioned problems. We have proven the concept with successful trials and testing carried out with a leading UK University and an expert vehicle systems test house. To take our solution to the next level, we have formed a development collaboration with Alcon Components, who will provide the expert knowledge and skills in the development and manufacture of advanced braking system. Together we will develop an early stage prototyped for an innovative lightweight low wear brake disc for full dynamometer testing and initial in-vehicle trials.By overcoming the limitations of existing coatings and state-of-the-art solutions, our technology will address an urgent unmet market need. In turn, we expect to generate significant exports for the UK economy and in the process create numerous UK based high-skilled jobs."
