Crazy Ideas Faiveley Transport Birkenhead Ltd
Not so crazy ideas. Aluminium Brake Disc Advantages • High thermal conductivity and low Young‘s modulus. • Therefore low tendency to thermal cracking. • Low wear of pad and disc material. • Light • No squealing • Low emission of odours as the friction contact remains cooler than with iron Brake Discs.
