Abstract
A method is provided for decreasing a wear rate of a brake stack or a heat sink wear rate and increasing a brake life of the brake stack or the heat sink. The method includes coating a wear surface of a brake disk with at least one of an engineered ceramic material or ceramic solution, thereby forming a coated brake disk and installing the coated brake disk in a multi-disk brake system.
Claims19
A method for decreasing a wear rate of a brake stack or a heat sink wear rate and increasing a brake life of the brake stack or the heat sink, comprising:
- coating a wear surface of a brake disk with an engineered ceramic material, thereby forming a coated brake disk, wherein the engineered ceramic material is silicon nitride (Si3N4) and at least one of partially stabilized zirconium oxides (ZrO2) or aluminum oxide (Al2O3);
- and installing the coated brake disk in a multi-disk brake system.
