  • Porsche Surface Coated Brakes (PSCB) are a brilliant new brake technology.

    Porsche Surface Coated Brakes have a thin layer of tungsten carbide on the outside of the rotor. This tungsten carbide layer means no rust, significantly less brake dust, and they don't have brake fade typical of cast-iron brake rotors. The tungsten carbide layer is applied using high velocity oxygen fuel spray, and provides a rotor that lasts about 30% longer than traditional iron rotors. Better performance comes at a price, but they're about 1/3 the cost of carbon ceramic rotors. These PSCB rotors come standard on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and Cayenne Coupe Turbo. Check out the video to learn all about Porsche's world-first brakes!

    Loved the "They didn't realize engineers don't have feelings" line. I once took a psych class titled "Introduction to Personality." The professor was getting frustrated because this particular class was very quiet and not really responsive. From the front of the class he said, "Come on! Let your personalities show!" I slowly raised my hand and glanced around nervously, but.. when he called on me I said, "We're engineers, sir. We're here to learn what personality is."

    When I worked at a Jaguar dealer, we had a customer that tracks his F-type, for fun not competitively. He changed his pads and rotors 3 times due to wearing them down on track in just a few years... they were carbon ceramic brakes, and surprisingly they're the same price as Porsche's! he basically paid for the car again, but this time just in brakes. I think it would be cheaper to take a hit on depreciation and just trade in the car for a new one than to replace carbon ceramic brakes

    This technology was used on bicycle rims for many years by a company called Rigida (renamed to Ryde). Their rims were called CSS (Cardbide SuperSonic - indicating the processes by which the tungsten carbide was applied to the aluminium rims. The wear rate was very low and the rims lasted much longer than normal aluminium rims. They did however suffer from brake squeal and somewhat inconsistent wet weather performance.

    "70% of brake dust actually comes from the rotors"
    I never would've guess that, I always assumed it was just the pads!
    Also, the best part about those price breakdowns, it that in 20 years when the Cayenne Turbo is worth like $10000 on the used market, the brakes will still cost $11000 to replace with OEM parts

    • @fuzzy1dk
      @fuzzy1dk 4 ปีที่แล้ว +64

      makes no sense that 70% would be from the rotors, the data showed was 1500x the wear on pads vs. rotors on thickness, the rotors are no where near 1500x the area of the pads

    • @truantray
      @truantray 4 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      Porsche says that. But his own data says pads wear 1500x greater than rotors, and dust comes from pads. Anyone knows dust difference between organic and semi metallic pads is huge.
      Also Porsche owners rarely buy their cars, they rent them, so they don't care about resale or any wear beyond 36-48 months.

    • @CED99
      @CED99 4 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      @@truantray I think y'all misunderstood EE, that "1500x" metric is specifically about the tungsten carbide rotors and the pads designed for them. Typical rotors are cast iron and the pads eat away at them significantly faster.
      Metallic pads actually produce more dust because they remove more material from the rotors, which is a byproduct of the increased braking performance.

  • @dagandrefjeldstad3856
    @dagandrefjeldstad3856 3 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Lotus used Metal Matrix Composite (MMX) material for the brake disks on the 96' Elise. Mixing silica carbide into the aluminum gave the same hard surface. No wear, no dust, and excellent braking performance. The pad material attached itself to the rotor surface (a few micrometer thick), giving maximum adhesion friction, which you get if you have the same material on both surfaces. Material is constantly transferred between the disk and the pad back and forth during braking, resulting in the low wear of both pad and disk. The weight was as for aluminum, so very light compared to cast iron, reducing un-sprung mass. Aluminum conducts heat much better than cast iron and transfer the heat from the disk to the larger wheel mass and area. So temperature was about half of that for cast iron disks. Downsides were high production cost, and eventually metal fatigue issues from uneven thermal expansion of the different thickness of the boss and rotor when using such a hard and brittle material. Surface coating seems cheaper and better, except for the much higher mass of the brake disk with cast iron as base.

    I've seen other famous TH-camrs who've let their family members raise a truck on just a jack and then their nephew is sitting under the rear suspension, working on it. If that jack fails, his legs would be crushed and his whole life would change. But they're also cavalier about safety in other respects as well, such as not wearing eye protection while grinding or drilling, not wearing seatbelts while driving on the open road, etc.
    You did just fine suspending the car for a photo shoot, and until you pointed out the hidden jack stand under the floor jack, I hadn't noticed it and I still wasn't concerned.
    And since you don't have feelings, then a sarcastic response to the haters out there shouldn't affect them, either. But nope, you kept it all above board and showed who's the bigger person. Kudos!

    This could be used in electric cars. Since they practically don’t brake at all using brakes, but instead use recuperation, the rotor becomes very worn due to rust. So then when you do need to slam on the brakes, you find that they don’t actually work.

I am pretty sure we have the ability to seal one placed on the side or bottom where it would take seconds to access. Or perhaps having to remove the exhuast system to replace an O2 sensor. Or remove the entire engine to replace an alternator, distributor, or AC compressor. The list goes on...

So unless you want poor breaking normally or screeching to the point your ears want to bleed then I wouldn’t suggest it.

      When you buy any exotic car. Whether that’s Porsche or not. You don’t look at the price of the parts. You’ll be looking at other costs. Hell you’ll probably trade it in for a new one in a few years. You’ll be making enough to cover the cost of it in about a day or less.

    They probably got this idea from carbide tipped saw blades. They used to be HSS, or ‘high speed steel’ but they were eventually upgraded to carbide tips as it’s a harder material, stays sharp for longer and cuts way better. It’s quite interesting how the same sort of thought was applied to brake pad, only instead of teeth it’s a whole coating.

    We often use HVOF applied carbide for guiding surfaces in high temperature (above 600°C) applications. The surface is so hard that only grinding can be used for machining it - and even that is not ideal.

      Even the regular iron rotors cost as much as a 325. If the price of the iron brakes is anything to go off of then all of those are marked up about 10x from what they should actually be.
