Abstract

The present invention discloses a vibration-damping and noise-reducing brake disc, where the vibration-damping and noise-reducing brake disc includes an intermediate disc having an outer side and a braking ring which surrounds the outer side of the intermediate disc. Two opposite surfaces of the braking ring are frictional surfaces provided with at least one laser scanning strip, where the laser scanning strip is obtained or formed by laser quenching and hardening treatments of the two frictional surfaces by a laser machine, for changing the physical and mechanical properties of the braking ring, such as the surface and inside hardness, residual stress distribution on the frictional surfaces, and the inside micro-structures of the braking ring, so as to suppress the generation of frictional vibration and noise during braking operations. The vibration-damping and noise-reducing brake disc of the present invention has stable coefficients of friction in braking operations, therefore, the occurrence of frictional noise and vibrations of the brake disc can be reduced, and the operational performance of the vehicle with such brake discs can be improved.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vibration-damping and noise-reducing brake disc, comprising:
an intermediate disc having an outer side; and
a braking ring surrounding the outer side of the intermediate disc and having two opposite frictional surfaces each provided with at least one laser scanning strip, the laser scanning strip being formed by laser quenching and hardening treatments of the two frictional surfaces by a laser, for changing a residual stress distribution on the frictional surfaces and inside micro-structures of the braking ring, so as to suppress the generation of frictional vibrations and noise during braking operations.

2. The vibration-damping and noise-reducing brake disc according to claim 1 , wherein the laser for quenching and hardening treatments has a laser scanning power in a range of 500-4000 W, a scanning speed in a range of 100-1000 mm/min, and a laser spot area in a range of 10-100 mm 2 .

3. The vibration-damping and noise-reducing brake disc according to claim 1 , wherein
the laser scanning strips comprise an annular shape and are sequentially distributed from the inside to the outside in the radial direction of the braking ring, and a center of the laser scanning strips coincides with a center of the intermediate disc.

4. The vibration-damping and noise-reducing brake disc according to claim 1 , wherein
the laser scanning strip is strip-shaped laser scanning strips extending in the radial direction or parallel distributed on the surfaces of the braking ring.

5. The vibration-damping and noise-reducing brake disc according to claim 1 , wherein
a material of the brake disc comprises cast iron and can also be any other materials that can be used as brake discs.

6. The vibration-damping and noise-reducing brake disc according to claim 1 , wherein
the brake disc is used in vehicles and can also be used in any other machines and equipment.
