RELIABLE: Wear Resistant Lightweight Aluminium Brakes for Vehicles

铸铁刹车盘是乘用车的主要制动解决方案。这些刹车由于其重量繁重，不利于燃油消耗。它们也是对人类健康的重大危害，因为它们在佩戴时会释放出金属颗粒。这些制动器主要用于乘用车，是车辆微粒排放的第二大贡献者，是空气污染的重要贡献者。科龙国际有限公司和爱尔康组件公司开发了一种用于乘用车的耐磨轻型刹车盘，以克服上述问题。我们已经通过与一所领先的英国大学和一家专业的车辆系统测试机构进行了成功的试验和测试，证明了这一概念。为了使我们的解决方案更上一层楼，我们与爱尔康部件公司建立了开发合作关系，他们将提供先进制动系统开发和制造方面的专业知识和技能。我们将共同开发创新的轻质低磨损刹车盘的早期原型，用于全测功机测试和初始车内试验。通过克服现有涂层和最先进解决方案的限制，我们的技术将满足迫切的未得到满足的市场需求。反过来，我们预计将为英国经济带来大量出口，并在此过程中创造大量以英国为基础的高技能工作岗位。

"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."
