I will do it.
Thanks!

Copper gives a good heat sink stainless gives you good wear properties
Hi,
Many thanks, I will try this process !

Hi,
What kind of stainless steel do you recommend me ?
Thanks!

If your customer is looking for a recommendation, you have a lot more flexibility. I have seen 304 stainless steel used for brake applications, but it is relatively soft. A 400 series stainless steel would be harder. If you really want to make the brakes better than they were, then you could look at a hardfacing or carbide coating.
Hello David,
My customer does not have a technical specification.
He needs a viabil technical restauration solution for the wear brake discs.
Thanks!

RE: Brake discs
I have heard of the SS-Cu wire mix.
I have restored brake drums with SS using Nitrogen atomizing gas, which worked well.
Carbide and/or ceramic coatings will need to be ground after application and can be very aggressive to the brake pads... That route can work if the entire system is reengineered. But, it gets really intereting because the porosity of the coating as well as the surface finish have an impact on the performance. Pure ceramics generally dont allow for good pad life because there is nowhere for the heat to go.
Maybe the Cu-SS solution is the best to "shoot from the hip".

RE: Brake discs
You can also use carbides sprayed by HVOF method.
The main problem is the requirement of heat transfer to brake discs.
I have idea to add some copper powder to this purpose but it can decrease friction coeficient
