Applications of Carbon-carbon Composites

  • Chapter
Carbon-Carbon Composites

Abstract

Something like 63% by volume of the carbon-carbon produced in the world is used in aircraft braking systems. Carbon-carbon brake materials were originally developed by the Super Temp Division of B. F. Goodrich Inc. in the USA. Their process was licensed by Dunlop in the UK. Dunlop were the first company to manufacture and fit carbon-carbon composite brakes into regular service.
