6.11 Green Brake System 1 – Product development 

Development of an innovative brake system, able to reduce the PM10 emission according to new Euro7 norm. Target is a reduction of more than 65% of the emission respect to the traditional braking system.

The project aims to develop a new brake friction material on brake disc component adding a specific coating layer to the standard cast iron, based on innovative technology of additive manufacturing. Two technologies research lines has been approached: Laser Metal Deposition and Cold Gas Spray. The comparison between the 2 technologies will be explored through mainly experimental approaches guided by statistical techniques for experimental design, such as DoE.
