With Euro 7, particulate matter emissions from braking systems are being regulated for the first time. This creates new requirements for automotive manufacturers and suppliers regarding materials, surfaces, manufacturing processes, and process reliability, regardless of a vehicle’s powertrain.
The regulation of brake wear makes the braking system an even more critical component of emissions analysis. In addition to material selection and component design, manufacturing quality, precision, and stable production processes are coming into sharper focus.
Tyrolit brings together experience from several areas here: grinding tools, machine solutions, process design, and application engineering.
The techtalk provides context on the technical background and demonstrates how solutions that work in industrial processes are developed in collaboration with partners.
Hard-coated brake discs are an important approach to reducing brake wear. However, their industrial implementation depends on the interplay of several factors:
Coating technology
Grinding processes and machines
Tool design
Surface quality
Production and process knowledge
This episode makes it clear why no single measure is decisive. What matters is that the material, coating, tooling, machine, and process control are all coordinated. Only then can consistent results be achieved in series production.
Euro 7 affects industrial processes
Euro 7 extends beyond the vehicle. The new requirements impact materials, manufacturing steps, and quality strategies throughout the industrial value chain. Implementation requires a precise understanding of technology and process.
Reducing brake dust requires precision
Reducing fine dust from braking systems depends largely on how precisely surfaces are machined. Defined surface structures, stable processes, and reproducible quality influence wear, emissions, and the service life of components.
Coated brake discs require coordinated processes
Hard-coated brake discs can make a significant contribution to reducing brake dust. For them to function in series production, the coating, grinding tool, machine, and process control must be considered together.
Technology makes impact measurable
Lower wear, longer service life, and stable manufacturing processes do not result from individual measures. They are the result of technical decisions that are coordinated with one another. The techtalk demonstrates how legal requirements can drive technical development and what role process knowledge plays in this.
Euro 7 demonstrates how new legal requirements can accelerate technical development. For the automotive industry, the challenge is to reduce emissions while ensuring quality, cost-effectiveness, and process reliability in manufacturing.
Tyrolit views this task as part of industrial collaboration. Together with partners, the company develops solutions that reduce brake wear, enable precise surfaces, and support stable production processes.
