Do Carbon Ceramic Brake Discs Experience Thermal Fade?
1 Answers
Carbon ceramic brake discs generally do not experience thermal fade unless subjected to extremely high temperatures. These brake discs are rarely seen on regular passenger vehicles, as they are typically used in racing cars or supercars. Carbon ceramic brake discs are gray in color and feature numerous crack-like patterns on their surface, which is normal. Occasionally, the brake discs may appear red due to excessive heat. If thermal fade occurs, significant amounts of carbon dust may be ejected during braking. For owners who frequently engage in track driving or aggressive driving, upgrading to higher-performance carbon ceramic brake discs is recommended.
