Understanding Porsche Surface Coated Brake (PSCB) Technology
With Porsche Surface Coated Brakes, your risk of brake dust, rust, and fade from overheating is greatly reduced.
This tungsten-carbide coating sprayed onto iron-cast rotors hardens them fivefold, guaranteeing world-class stopping power and even adding a year or two to the lifespan of your rotors. If you’re curious to learn more about this incredible Porsche innovation, here’s Porsche PSCB explained in full.
Understanding Porsche Surface Coated Brake (PSCB) Technology
Armor Your Iron-Cast Rotors
Whenever you press the brake pedal, the brake pads squeeze the rotor discs, wearing them away a little more. Ordinary iron-cast rotors are extremely tough, but PSCB technology takes durability to a whole new level.
The disc is first laser-etched and galvanized with a surface layer for bonding, upon which the tungsten-carbine coating can be applied. This combination of tungsten and carbon forms a reflective diamond-like crystal material that’s hard enough to cut glass. Once coated, your rotor is thoroughly armored and enhanced in many ways.
Reduce Brake Dust By 90 Percent
If you’re tired of cleaning brake dust from your wheels or worried about health issues from occasionally inhaling those harmful tiny metal particles, then PSCB brakes are for you. Normally, it’s the rotor that produces most of the brake dust that accumulates on your wheels and tires. When coated, your Porsche rotors will produce one-tenth as much brake dust, which is wonderful for your health and the aesthetics of your car.
Don’t Fear Rust During Breaks From Driving
Any driver who leaves their car to sit in the garage for a week or two risks inviting a little rust to build on the brake pads and rotors. Brake rust poses a safety hazard, generates irritating squealing sounds when you use your brakes, and can be difficult to clean. However, with coated rotors, you’re far less likely to ever see any rust at all.
Diminish Your Risk of Brake Fade
If you regularly commute in heavy traffic, it’s possible that your brakes might one day start to overheat. This creates the risk of brake fade: temporarily reduced stopping force. PSCB are far better protected against this danger.
Extend the Longevity of Your Brakes
PSCB brakes last thirty percent longer than uncoated iron rotors. This amounts to considerable cost savings over the lifespan of your Porsche. PSCB brakes are a remarkably cost-efficient way to enjoy the kind of high-end stopping power that you can only ordinarily get from far more costly ceramic brake pads.
