Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a carbon-carbon composite brake disc from a preform, the method comprising densifying the preform to form the carbon-carbon composite brake disc, wherein the preform comprises carbon-containing fibers ranging in length from 1 to 30 mm, a carbon matrix bonding the carbon-containing fibers, wherein the carbon matrix is formed via carbonization of a resin binder, and titanium carbide particles having a particle diameter in the range of from 0.01 to 10 microns, and wherein the densified carbon-carbon composite brake disc exhibits a brake effectiveness μ of less than 0.200, wherein where: T P bprt—Brake pressure rotors tight, lowest pressure at which the brake generates torque; A R
