6.11 Green Brake System 1 – Product development 

Development of an innovative brake system, able to reduce the PM10 emission according to new Euro7 norm. Target is a reduction of more than 65% of the emission respect to the traditional braking system.

The project aims to develop a new brake friction material on brake disc component adding a specific coating layer to the standard cast iron, based on innovative technology of additive manufacturing. Two technologies research lines has been approached: Laser Metal Deposition and Cold Gas Spray. The comparison between the 2 technologies will be explored through mainly experimental approaches guided by statistical techniques for experimental design, such as DoE.

RISULTATI ATTESI

Product development:

  • Development of a brake system that reduce the PM10 brake emission more than 65% respect to traditional brake system (currently in the market)
  • Characterization of metallic microstructure to guarantee the quality and durability requested by the normative assigned test (WLTP)
  • Development of simulation model of the coating deposition

 

Process development:

  • Development of nominal process parameters of 2 different coating technologies, LMD and cold spray
  • Development of tool material for grinding process according to the product constrains
