Abstract

A method for decreasing a wear rate at a core-liner interface between a core component and a wear liner component of a core-liner brake stack configuration and increasing the life of the core component is disclosed herein. The method includes coating a surface of a substrate with a ceramic solution, wherein the substrate is a first surface of the core component or a second non-wearing surface of the wear liner component, wherein the first surface of the core component and the second non-wearing surface of the wear liner component meet to form an interface between the core component and the wear liner component, drying the coated surface to produce oxide particulates within the substrate, forming a coated brake disk by coupling the wear liner component onto the core component, wherein the coated brake disk includes the coated surface, and installing the coated brake disk in a multi-disk brake system.
