Bimetallic brake disc: Better wear resistance & Better heat dissipation

The function of the brake disc is as a key component in the vehicle's braking system, using friction to reduce vehicle speed or stop the vehicle.

A brake disc is a round disc that works in conjunction with brake pads. When the driver applies the brakes, the brake calipers clamp the brake disc, creating friction that slows or stops the vehicle. The braking force of the brake disc comes from the brake caliper. During this process, the brake fluid (hydraulic oil) pushes the piston in the brake caliper, and the piston pushes the brake pad against the brake disc, generating friction. Brake discs usually have high tensile strength and bending strength to ensure that they are not prone to thermal decay during high-speed braking and maintain excellent braking performance.

In addition, the brake disc will also wear during the braking process. When the wear reaches a certain level, it needs to be replaced to ensure the braking effect and driving safety.

Original FRONTECH brake discs

We set the same high standards for our Original FRONTECH brake discs as we do for our original equipment for major car brands.

The discs are precisely tailored to each car model to produce the best possible braking performance.In other words, the quality of the materials and workmanship is first class. Our experience and passion for creating new ideas helps us to achieve this pioneering quality.

Modern technology, proven precision

Precise production is decisive for safe, vibration-free and comfortable braking. This also applies to our high-carbon brake discs: they avoid brake judder, increase driving comfort and are also extremely durable.

FRONTECH bimetallic brake disc

Brake disc bimetal refers to a brake disc structure composed of two different metal materials. Usually a combination of cast iron and steel (aluminum) is used. Cast iron has high strength and is cheap, but its heat dissipation performance is poor; while steel is not easy to deform, but due to its high hardness, it will generate a lot of heat when it wears with the brake pads, so its heat dissipation performance is relatively good. The use of a bimetal structure can combine the advantages of the two materials, making the brake disc more wear-resistant and with better heat dissipation performance.

Advantages

(1) Better wear resistance: The use of bimetallic structure can make the brake disc have better wear resistance and extend its service life.

(2) Better heat dissipation: Cast iron brake discs have relatively poor heat dissipation, and the use of bimetallic structures can make the brake discs have better heat dissipation performance, effectively reduce heat accumulation during braking, and avoid brake failure due to overheating during braking.

Application scope of bimetallic brake discs

Bimetallic brake discs are suitable for high-strength applications such as highways and racetracks, as well as large heavy-duty vehicles such as cranes, concrete pump trucks, etc. For ordinary family cars or commercial vehicles, iron brake discs can be used instead of bimetallic brake discs.

Bimetal brake disc has a structure with excellent wear resistance and heat dissipation performance. It is suitable for high-intensity use occasions and large heavy-duty vehicles. The manufacturing process is complex and the production cost is high.

ECE R90 for brake discs

The quality standard for greater safety

Tested OE quality

This has always been a matter of course for us. As an original equipment supplier to the major car manufacturers, we only use the latest OE materials for the FRONTECH brake discs we provide for the aftermarket, and we manufacture them in comparable OE quality. The ECE approval mark now officially confirms our compliance with this high standard.

FRONTECH is leading the way

FRONTECH brake discs already fulfil the technical requirements of ECE Regulation 90.

In November 2016, when the European quality standard for brake discs came into effect, some 90 percent of all brake discs sold by FRONTECH had the ECE approval mark. This percentage will rise much higher by early 2017.
