OUR PROCESS
From aerospace-grade carbon fiber to a finished rotor — every carbon-ceramic disc goes through seven precision stages.

1Material Preparation
Short-cut carbon fibers are mixed with phenolic resin and binders into a moldable compound. This blend controls the fiber density and orientation that give the rotor its strength and thermal stability.
2Pressing
The compound is pressed into shape under high heat and pressure to create a green preform. Internal cooling vanes and channels are formed at this stage to manage airflow and heat during braking.
3Curing
The preform is heat-treated to harden the resin and lock in its form. This gives the disc mechanical stability before it moves into the high-temperature firing stages.
4Carbonization
The disc is fired at around 900°C in an oxygen-free atmosphere. The resin converts to carbon, producing a strong, porous carbon-fiber-reinforced carbon (C/C) structure.
5Machining
Cooling holes, mounting points, and braking surfaces are machined to near-final dimensions while the carbon body is still workable — before it becomes extremely hard in the next stage.
6Siliconization
The porous carbon body is infiltrated with molten silicon at around 1700°C under vacuum. The silicon reacts with the carbon to form silicon carbide (SiC) — the ceramic that delivers extreme hardness, heat resistance, and long service life.
7Finishing & Quality Control
The disc receives a protective anti-oxidation coating, final grinding, drilling or slotting, and balancing. Every rotor is then inspected with dimensional checks and non-destructive testing before approval.
