Systems, devices, and methods are provided for manufacturing a carbon ceramic brake disc. Generally, a plurality of uncured or partially-cured bulk molding compound preforms or molding compound layers and ventilation cores are placed in a mold cavity and warm-pressed at a first temperature.

Certain steps can be repeated until a desired target density or weight is attained.

A braking band extends between an inner diameter and an outer diameter. The braking band has two plates having inner surfaces delimiting a gap, outer surfaces having opposite flat circumferential portions and a plate body having an extension in axial direction. The plates are joined by connecting elements. At least one plate has at least one projection projecting into the gap without reaching the opposite plate, forming a localized narrowing of the gap and a thickening of the plate body, creating a localized increase of the thickness of plate. The projection extends from a first connecting element to an adjacent connecting element, connecting them, and along the circumferential direction, connecting at least two adjacent connecting elements. A group of projections extends circumferentially along a discontinuous annular path, avoiding a uniform distribution in circumferential direction.

Adjacent projection bases are joined to one another by a bell rib made in a single piece with the bell body and having an inner axial rib face and an outer axial rib face. The braking band body is coupled to the inner axial rib face, leaving the outer axial rib face free and externally facing the disk brake disk.

A method for manufacturing a brake disc includes providing at least one sheet of predefined thickness, blanking a first disc-shaped portion in the at least one sheet adapted to make a first plate of a ventilated braking band, blanking a second disc-shaped portion in the at least one sheet adapted to make a second plate of the ventilated braking band, blanking a third portion in the at least one sheet adapted to make at least one ventilation spacer for the ventilated braking band, drawing the third portion by shaping first and second protrusions, forming opposite first and second recesses adapted to make ventilation channels, connecting the first disc-shaped portion to the first protrusion by discontinuous weld spots, and connecting the second disc-shaped portion to the second protrusion by discontinuous weld spots.

A method of forming a rotor by forming a mold by forming a first mold cake, a second mold cake, and a core that fits between the first and the second mold cake. The method includes a step of locating the core between the first mold cake and the second mold cake. The core includes a body, one or more projections extending from the body for forming one or more holes in a base portion of the rotor, and one or more projections extending from the body for forming one or more holes in a bat wall of the rotor.

The present disclosure relates to a brake disc including a braking part having a circular plate shape having a hollow portion and a plurality of coupling portions protruding and extending from an inner diameter surface thereof, and a hat part disposed in the hollow portion and having a plurality of insertion portions protruding laterally, in which the plurality of coupling portions is respectively coupled to the plurality of insertion portions, and the coupling portion of the braking part and the insertion portion of the hat part are joined to only one of an outboard portion or an inboard portion of the braking part. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to reduce noise occurring at a position at which the hat part and the braking part are coupled to each other and improve cooling performance.

A brake rotor for attachment to a wheel of a vehicle may include outer and inner friction members, and a plurality of fin elements connecting the outer friction member to the inner friction member. Each fin element may include radially spaced first and second pillars that are connected by a single bridge portion to define an opening in the fin element. The opening may also be defined by an interior surface of one of the annular disks. The opening may be tapered along an entire length between a first pillar and a second pillar. A width of each fin element may taper toward a center of the brake rotor.
