    Worn brake disks are not only unpleasant because they cause expensive visits to the mechanic. The particulate emissions produced have been proven to be massively harmful to our health. Fraunhofer IFAM in Dresden is developing wear-resistant brake disks made of ceramic-reinforced light metal composites that not only save weight, but also cause hardly any additional costs over the vehicle's service life. The market launch is now within reach.
