brake materials & heat treatment
Hi all,
You may remember I am involved with a school designing and building a human powered vehicle that is to compete in a 24hr race. Currently we are thinking about brakes. One of the students has borrowed a brake disc and looking at it, we have the facilities to make something very similar. I am wondering if anyone has had experience making their own discs and what materials were they made from? Also did you have the discs heat treated in any way? Our vehicle is basically going to be light(around 100kg with rider) and speeds are supposed to be limited to 60km/h  so brakes do not have to be huge.Any info helpful Cheers Coln |
