Q: Are carbon-ceramic brake discs the same as ceramic-coated brake discs?
A: No, they are not the same. A carbon-ceramic brake disc is entirely made of carbon-ceramic composite material. In contrast, a ceramic-coated brake disc is a cast iron disc with a ceramic coating sprayed on its surface, and is essentially still a cast iron disc. Its high temperature resistance and wear resistance are far inferior to those of carbon-ceramic brake discs, and it is also more affordable.
