Research & development ... ahead of the curve

EURAC has a long and successful history of involvement in the grey iron motor racing disc market dating back over 25 years. We have collaborated in various projects such as the development of high carbon discs alloyed with molybdenum and copper for saloon car race series and the formulation of micro-alloyed Group A rally car rotors.

We supply 95% of Europe’s racing disc castings market and finished discs made from our castings are distributed worldwide. Our dominance in this specialist field has been supported by constantly evolving our range of material grades and alloying options, accompanied by developing disc design and advanced problem-solving capabilities.

Furthering EURAC'S considerable technical knowledge base, other research activities outside the realm of motorsport have included studies examining NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness) issues, especially cold judder and DTV (Disc Thickness Variation), aluminium-based MMC (Metal Matrix Composite) discs, anti-corrosion polymeric coatings, melded aluminium hubs and floating rotors utilising cast-in linkages.
