Abstract |
|
In the current market the disc brake rotor that has been used is made up of Gray Cast Iron. But it is observed that due hard braking tremendous amount of friction will be takes place between rotor & brake pad, which will produce lots of heat inside the rotor & that will induce thermal stresses inside the rotor. Due to these stresses cracking, scarring, poor stopping, rusting of disc rotor occurs. The gray cast iron rotor consumes much fuel due to its high density & has lesser thermal conductivity. So the aim of this project is to suggest another disc rotor profile & select the optimum material for disc brake rotor which will transfer maximum amount of generated heat to the surround. |
