Where are the brake discs produced in China?

Truck Brake drum (7)

The brake disc, in simple terms, is a round plate, which rotates when the car is moving. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force. When the brake is stepped on, it clamps the brake disc to slow down or stop. The brake disc has good braking effect and is easier to maintain than drum brakes.

The material of the brake disc is gray cast iron 250 standard, referred to as HT250, which is equivalent to the American G3000 standard. The requirements for the three main elements of the chemical composition are: C: 3.1∽3.4 Si: 1.9∽2.3 Mn: 0.6∽0.9. Mechanical performance requirements: tensile strength>=206MPa, bending strength>=1000MPa, deflection>=5.1mm, hardness requirements between: 187∽241HBS. .
Origin distribution
Brake discs are cast products. Due to the influence of climatic factors, the north is too cold and the south is too hot. Therefore, most of the production bases of brake discs are located in the latitudes of Shandong, Hebei, and Shanxi, especially in the brake disc industries in Laizhou and Longkou, Shandong. It was the first to start with many manufacturers.
Disc brake discs are divided into solid discs (single discs) and duct discs (double discs). The solid disc is easier for us to understand. To put it bluntly, it is solid. Vented Disc, as the name implies, has a ventilation effect. From the outside, it has many holes on the circumference that lead to the center of the circle, called air ducts. When the car is running, the air convection through the air duct can achieve the purpose of heat dissipation, which is much better than the solid heat dissipation effect. Most cars are front-drive, and the frequency meter of the front disc is worn out, so the front air duct disc and the rear solid disc (single disc) are used. Of course, there are also wind tunnels before and after, but the manufacturing cost is not too bad.

Santa Brake is deep in the hinterland of Laizhou, specializing in the production of high-quality brake discs for various models. Welcome customers to consult and visit!
