  • Publication number: 20160298707
    Abstract: Disclosed is a brake disc manufactured from heterogeneous materials and a method for manufacturing the brake disc. The brake disc includes a friction part in which a connection hole is formed in a center, protrusions and recesses are alternately repeated along a circumference of the connection hole, the recess has a shape curved in an opposite direction of the connection hole. The brake disc also includes a hat part that is made of material different from that of the friction part, and has insertion grooves formed along an outer circumference so as to allow the protrusions to be inserted. Particularly, heat radiation holes are formed along the circumference of the connection hole at predetermined distance by connecting insertion parts of the protrusions to the insertion grooves of the hat part with a predetermined gap from an inner surface of the friction part. Also provided is a brake disc manufactured from heterogeneous materials having excellent durability.

  • Patent number: 8844685
    Abstract: Disclosed is a brake disk. The brake disk includes a friction part having a coupling aperture within a center thereof and a plurality of recessed portions repeatedly formed at a predetermined interval along an inner circumference of the coupling aperture, in which bevels protrude from inner surfaces of the recessed portions, respectively. The bevels are tapered along upper and lower sides thereof toward protruding centers. The brake disk also includes a hub having a plurality of protrusions inserted into and attached to the recessed portions when coupled to and received in the coupling aperture of the friction part via a cast-bonding method, along a circumference thereof.

  • Publication number: 20130037359
    Abstract: A brake disc is disclosed which includes a friction unit having a coupling aperture formed at a center thereof, insert protrusions and depressions which are provided in a sawtooth formation at predetermined intervals along a circumference of the coupling aperture, wherein chamfers are formed at a predetermined angle on one or more of the upper and lower surfaces of the insert protrusions, and first locking parts locked into upper or lower spaces of the depressions. A hat unit, formed of a material different from that of the friction unit, coupled to the coupling aperture of the friction unit, and including insert recesses formed along a circumference thereof so that the insert protrusions are fitted therein, and second locking parts formed at predetermined intervals in the insert recesses so that they are inserted into the depressions and engage with the first locking parts, and to a method of producing the same.
