Textar Brake disc - coated 92306005

Textar Brake Disc

They are almost always attached to the brake hub. During braking, the brake pads press against the disc brake, reducing the rotational speed of the disc and thus the entire vehicle. Brake discs are usually made of gray cast iron or steel alloys. Just like the brake pads, the brake disc also wears out, although it does so more slowly than the pads. During frequently repeated braking actions, the brake discs heat up significantly and must therefore withstand the highest demands. To endure extreme loads, there are also discs made of carbon and ceramic.

To achieve increased heat resistance, brake discs are sometimes heat-treated. This involves heating them significantly after production and then cooling them down again. Additionally, there are ventilated brake discs. Perforated or slotted brake discs provide better braking performance in wet conditions, as they quickly and effectively drain the water standing on the brake disc through their recesses. Another advantage is that dirt, such as brake dust, disappears from the brake disc more quickly.
