A few days ago, many car manufacturers see a new type of aircraft using carbon fiber-reinforced ceramics, can be used in the manufacture of braking systems of high temperature ceramic brakes.

According to the German "Le Monde" news, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) developed a new carbon fiber heat-resistant ceramic tile, is expected to address the current U.S. space shuttle heat-resistant ceramic tile shedding problems.

Carbon fiber reinforced high temperature resistant ceramic tile is to ensure that the importance of the space shuttle flight safety parts, recently launched the U.S. space shuttle Discovery on about more than 25,000 pieces of heat-resistant ceramic tile. Ceramic tile enters the atmosphere at high temperature through friction, there will be a large loss is caused by the space shuttle accident plane crash or even an important reason for the tragedy. NASA has been committed to improving the performance of heat-resistant ceramic tile, but has yet to achieve a breakthrough.

German Aerospace Center, a new manufacturing process, so that the production of carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide ceramic tile can withstand repeated high temperature of 1700 degrees Celsius and has a strong impact resistance and chemical resistance. Another new type of ceramic tile prominent advantage is that in the stable performance of large-size, there is no crack. New ceramic tile in mid-June launch of the Russian spacecraft Soyuz rocket was first used to obtain the desired results.

At present, NASA on the new ceramic tile are very interested in, has been developed in the United States a new "X-38" space plane has been on trial. The new carbon fiber-reinforced ceramics has also been some promising automotive manufacturers can be used in the manufacture of braking systems of high temperature ceramic brakes.
