A airbrake make use of multiple rotors for CC brakes, coupled with stators. A rotor is sourced by spokes, and the brake system provides protection for the stators. Pressing the brakes along with the hydraulic actuators performs braking action and the frictional torque is provided to stop aircrafts from overheating disc brakes. A friction between the rotating and stationery disc causes them to heat up to around 500 °C with a surface temperature of 2000 °C. He3nce, the materials used in this environment should show high thermal shock resistance. This paper focuses primarily on the study and evaluation of the effect of alkaline earth acetates on the catalytic oxidation of Carbon Composites aircraft brakes.
