81.50110.0232 Brake Drum

81.50110.0232 Front Brake Drum

1. Function

• Braking Action: The front brake drum is a key component of the vehicle's braking system. It generates friction with the brake shoes to convert the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat energy, achieving deceleration or stopping.

• Heat Dissipation: The brake drum is designed with cooling ribs or fins to enhance heat dissipation, maintaining optimal braking performance under heavy use or prolonged braking.

• Support and Fixation: The brake drum is firmly attached to the wheel hub, providing a stable surface for the brake shoes to engage with, ensuring consistent and reliable braking.

3. Material

• Brake Drum Material: Typically made from gray cast iron, with common grades including HT200, HT250, and HT300. Gray cast iron is chosen for its good castability, machinability, vibration damping, and wear resistance, which meet the working requirements of the brake drum.

4. Key Parameters

• Tensile Strength: The brake drum must meet specific tensile strength requirements to withstand the stresses encountered during braking. For example, some international standards require a minimum tensile strength of 245 MPa (equivalent to domestic HT250 grade), while domestic standards may require a minimum of 200 MPa (equivalent to HT200 grade).

• Hardness: The hardness of the brake drum affects its wear resistance and durability. Heavy-duty brake drums and those for very high loads may have higher hardness requirements compared to standard-load brake drums.

• Thermal Fatigue Resistance: Given the high temperatures generated during braking, the brake drum must resist thermal fatigue to prevent cracking and premature failure.

• Dimensional Accuracy: The brake drum must meet precise dimensional specifications to ensure proper fitment with the wheel hub and brake shoes, maintaining optimal braking performance.
