Energy efficient lighter weight aluminium matrix composite automotive brake motor

With 75 percent of fuel consumption relating directly to vehicle weight, potential weight reductions that can result in improved performance ratio and reduce CO2 emissions stimulate the application of lightweight materials. The substitution of aluminium matrix composite (AMC) for structural componen...
