Ceramic preforms

Advanced Ceramics

REL Inc. is a leader in ceramic preform processing. REL has designed and built several proprietary shape forming techniques. These techniques encompass a variety of geometries and ceramic densities that are tailored specifically to an application. Their main expertise involves preforms in friction interfaces requiring different ceramic reinforcement densities in order to achieve peak performance.

Proven preform examples:

  1. Class 8 Lift Axle Brake Drum (13 inch)
  2. Class 8 Lift Axle Brake Drum (13 inch Heavy duty)
  3. Class 8 Lift Axle Brake Drum (15 inch)
  4. Class 8 Steering axle brake drum (15 inch)
  5. Motorcycle brake rotor (11.5 inch)
  6. Motorcycle brake rotor (11.75 inch)
  7. Motorcycle brake rotor (12.63 inch)
  8. Humvee brake rotor (12 inch)

Current preform Research and Deployment efforts:

  1. Class 8 truck rotors
  2. Class 8 Clutch plate preforms
  3. Vehicular armor preform
  4. Body armor preform
  5. Nano-ceramic matrix enhancing preforms
