RT Conference Proceedings T1 Ventilated brake discs manufactured in aluminium matrix composites and hypereutectic aluminium alloys A1 Goñi, J. A1 Coleto, J. A1 Egizabal, P. A1 Rubio, A. A1 García, A. A1 Sanchez, J. AB Two different aluminium alloy materials have been used to produce ventilated brake discs, on one hand, AS17G0.6 hypereutectic alloy and on the other hand, AS7G0.6 reinforced with 20% in wt. of SiC particles. The casting production technique used has been Low Pressure Casting (LPC) and some of the brake discs have been heat treated using a T6 treatment. Once the ventilated brake discs were produced and machined, they were tested in a dynamometer in order to compare the performance under service conditions of the aluminium alloy and grey cast iron (GCI) discs currently used in the market.
