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 aluminum alloy and grey cast iron (GCI) discs currently used in the market.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessconference output10.4271/2001-01-3325Aluminum Matrix Compositecastingdynamometer testingKEYWORDS Brake discAutomotive EngineeringSafety, Risk, Reliability and QualityPollutionIndustrial and Manufacturing Engineeringhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85072471596&partnerID=8YFLogxK
