Do carbon fiber rotors resist corrosion?
Could a pigment be mixed in to give a color for show?
Of course this wouldn’t come cheap.
Carbon-ceramic brakes will indeed resist corrosion, but you’d pay around 8 grand to put them on the car…
Carbon/carbon rotors don’t corrode. Nor do they warp with extreme heat.
But they cost well in excess of $1000/wheel and they don’t work well until they’re heated up. They’re perfect for race cars, not good for road cars.
I could be wrong, but I’d guess that the carbon is so black that it’d take too much color added to make a difference in the rotors and the material integrity would be compromised.
Like I implied in my last post, they cost a lot.
But mass production could lower that price a lot, into the realm of what folks pay for aftermarket rims.
Possibly, but even if it were halved I’d be reticent to pay a few extra grand to get 'em.
Of course, I won’t pay extra for fancy rims either, so maybe I’m not a good example.
Besides, they don’t work well when cold.
Circuit:
Yes.
In theory.
Exactly.
