ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to metal and metal matrix composite materials that are useful as, for example, brake rotors, clutch plates and other similar uses which benefit from material properties of the invention. In the case of metal matrix composite materials, clutch plates and brake rotors made according to the invention comprise an interconnected matrix metal embedding at least one filler material. For example, the at least one filler material comprises numerous acceptable filler materials present in a sufficient quantity to provide desired performance. The brake rotors and clutch plates according to the invention further comprise a coating on the surface thereof causing the metal or metal matrix composite body to function as a substrate. The coatings may be applied by various conventional techniques. Desirable results of placing a coating on a metal or metal matrix composite substrate brake rotor or clutch plate include a significant increase in the maximum operating temperature of the brake rotor or clutch plate and/or a significant reduction in weight in comparison to conventional materials, etc.
