Abstract
The SHEET CAST Technologies GmbH succeeded with the first SHEET CAST Disc in combining the weight and performance advantages of multi-part disc with simple and cost effective manufacturability. By the integration of radial elastic steel inlays into the sand core, which is inserted into the sand mold, a unique and serial production lightweight composite brake disc was developed. The production costs can be halved in comparison to others on shift-based composite brake discs. The weight advantage of the SC-Disc is surpassing all know technologies.
The newest evolution is designed for e-mobility based on a wheel hub motor. The package is perfectly aligned to external rotor electric motors. This solution is still in the patent application and celebrates its world premiere at EuroBrake in April 2012.
