Description

A rotor for use with a caliper in a brake system of a vehicle. The rotor has a hub with a plurality of openings therein for attachment to an axle which rotates with a wheel of the vehicle. The hub has spokes which radially extend from the hub to an annular head member. The head member has parallel first and second friction surfaces thereon for engagement with brake pads on actuation during a brake application. The rotor which is made from a composition having from 50-85 percent by volume of silicon carbide and 50-15 percent by volume of copper has a thermal conductivity of from 280-310 W/mK.

Cette invention concerne un plateau de frein à disque. Le plateau comporte un moyeu percé d'une série d'ouvertures pour sa fixation à un essieu solidaire de la roue du véhicule. Le moyeu est relié au plateau par une série de rayons et le plateau comporte deux faces de friction parallèles sur lesquelles frottent les plaquettes de frein au serrage de l'étrier porte-plaquettes. Le plateau est réalisé à partir d'un matériau composite formé de 50 à 85 % en volume de carbure de silicium et de 50 à 15 % en volume de cuivre, et caractérisé par une conductivité thermique de 280 à 310 W/mK.
