No warping, no juddering, a long service life and excellent deceleration: these are the main features of the ATE High Carbon brake discs that Continental Teves has now been developing and manufacturing with great success for more than a decade. Over one million grey cast iron aftermarket brake discs with a high carbon content provide ample proof of the competitive edge that ATE enjoys.

The brake specialists from ATE have long been the driving force behind progress in disc brake technology, from the introduction of solid brake discs in the 1960's via ventilated discs to the first alloyed brake discs in the early 1980's.

ATE responded to the ever-growing market demand for greater ride quality by turning out brake discs made of a new cast iron material, GG15HC. Development work on these discs began in the early 1990's in close co-operation with the automobile industry and the new discs were also launched on the aftermarket. The higher carbon content of these High Carbon discs makes for more homogeneous heat distribution, allowing a longer service life with no warping or juddering.

While GG15HC is still gaining ground on the aftermarket, ATE has taken progress a step further. The latest high-tech High Carbon brake discs are made from a new material, GG20HC. This outstanding new alloy features even more homogeneous heat distribution and higher strength to handle extreme braking loads.
