Brake discs are mainly divided into two types: physical brake discs and ventilated brake discs. The physical brake disc is commonly referred to as a perforated brake disc, while the ventilated brake disc refers to a perforated brake disc. What are the differences between these two types of brake discs? Today, we will introduce them to you.
1. Ventilated brake discs. Due to the presence of holes, the manufacturing of ventilated brake discs is relatively complex, and the holes will inevitably reduce the rigidity of the entire disc to a certain extent. Therefore, the requirements for material use will be more stringent, resulting in higher prices and replacement costs. However, in use, ventilated discs can improve the cooling performance of brake discs, reduce their thermal attenuation, and provide better braking capabilities.
2. Unperforated brake discs. Unperforated brake discs, also known as solid brake discs, are usually structurally simple and form a solid brake disc as a whole. Therefore, they are relatively simple to manufacture, have lower costs, and are relatively inexpensive to purchase. Moreover, solid discs are structurally stronger, have better rigidity, and are less prone to damage.
