Innovative and unique process

Alongside tire wear and the combustion of fossil fuels, brake abrasion contributes to the high particulate pollution caused by vehicles with combustion engines and electric or hybrid drives. Drastically tight limits were defined as part of the Euro 7 regulations. And the automotive industry needs innovative technical solutions to reduce this contamination.

A series process, in which laser cladding provides brake discs with high-quality corrosion protection and a wear-resistant hard coating, is now available to reduce brake-related particulate emissions. This innovative hard coating process leads to high-quality anti-corrosion and wear-resistance. Friction between brake disc and brake pads is reduced by perfectly aligning hard coated layers and brake pads. Brake performance increases and wear is reduced what results in less particulate pollution resulting from the brake system.
