Found my own answer (yes Cu/Be is used as exhaust valve seats mostly for thermal conductivity reasons).

Cu/Be. Jim K. Jim K.: Out of curiosity, is copper-beryllium actually used for valve seats? My first impession is that it would erode away rapidly if it were used as exhaust valve seats. Also, someone once told me that copper-beryllium can be used for piston rings but I have never been able to verif...

Put cold air ducts to the caliper and center of disc! Hey Barry, what's your design for cooling ducts to the rear brakes? Do you come from the top with long tubes through the rear windows, or do you come from below with scoops that ride in the air flow below the car? I have heard that the latter wi...

I have never had problems with the R4S pads at the track: no glazing or fading. The dust is not too high and they seem to wear well. On the street the are poor when cold so I have to be careful those first few stops on cold mornings because if I am not ready I will overshoot the intersection and loo...

I have a stock '84 and I use Porterfield R4S pads all around and Motul 600 RBS fluid. I also have a heat shield between the tail pipe and the left rear caliper. On the track this seems to work well. However, I still noticed in doing some brake testing recently (70 to 0 maximum deceleration stops, re...

Re: Interesting Brake Cooling Product
I am wondering if it would be a way to cool the back calipers on transaxle cars without having to go to the expense of SZ vented rotors. How will larger rims help in the rear? On futher thought, what if one were to braze a copper plate extension of the brake pad steel backing plate and use that for...

Looking at the pictures on their website closely it looks as if the plate that goes between the pads and the calipers is so thin that the heat will more readily pass through it and into the caliper than along it and out to the cooling fins. I guess at better set up would be have the brake pad backin...

Interesting Brake Cooling Product
Does anybody have an experience (or hearsay) with this product? http://www.fourproducts.com/FSBC.html It is a set of heat fins that mount behind the brake pad and extend beyond the caliper into the air flow. I am wondering if it would be a way to cool the back calipers on transaxle cars without havi...
