ANALYSIS OF THE HARDNESS OF A SELECTED GROUP OF CAST IRON BRAKE ROTORS
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2017, Vol 276, Issue 6
Abstract
The paper discusses the problems related to cast iron brake rotors in the context of their hardness, which is one of the fundamental mechanical properties of these components. This property fundamentally determines the resistance to the wear processes occurring at the contact of the working surface of the rotor with the brake pad. In order to ensure a proper braking process, the manufacturer must appropriately select the friction pair in terms of the hardness of the mating components and guarantee the constant hardness of each and every manufactured brake rotor. The research presented in the paper was conducted on a selected group of brake rotors. The average hardness of the investigated group of a given type and given manufacturer was ascertained by calculating the spread of the hardness results and checking whether the differences (and what type of differences) occur for newly manufactured and retailed rotors.
