Abstract

Disclosed is a brake disc manufactured from heterogeneous materials and a method for manufacturing the brake disc. The brake disc includes a friction part in which a connection hole is formed in a center, protrusions and recesses are alternately repeated along a circumference of the connection hole, the recess has a shape curved in an opposite direction of the connection hole. The brake disc also includes a hat part that is made of material different from that of the friction part, and has insertion grooves formed along an outer circumference so as to allow the protrusions to be inserted. Particularly, heat radiation holes are formed along the circumference of the connection hole at predetermined distance by connecting insertion parts of the protrusions to the insertion grooves of the hat part with a predetermined gap from an inner surface of the friction part. Also provided is a brake disc manufactured from heterogeneous materials having excellent durability.

First claim

9 - 15 . (canceled)

1 . A brake disc comprising using different heterogeneous materials, comprising:
a friction part in which a connection hole is formed in a center, protrusions and recesses are alternately repeated along a circumference of the connection hole, and the recess has a shape curved in an opposite direction of the connection hole; and a hat part that is made of material different from that of the friction part, and has insertion grooves formed along an outer circumference so as to allow the protrusions to be inserted, wherein heat radiation holes are formed along the circumference of the connection hole at predetermined distance by connecting insertion parts of the protrusions with a predetermined gap from an inner surface of the friction part to the insertion grooves of the hat part with a predetermined gap from an inner surface of the friction part.

2 . The brake disc using different materials of claim 1 , wherein the insertion parts and the insertion grooves are connected to each other through surface contact.

3 . The brake disc using different materials of claim 1 , wherein a thermal expansion coefficient of the hat part is greater than a thermal expansion coefficient of the friction part.

4 . The brake disc using different materials of claim 3 , wherein the hat part is made of an aluminum alloy, and the friction part is made of cast iron.

5 . The brake disc using different materials of claim 1 , wherein a chamfer is formed on any one or more surfaces of an upper surface and a lower surface of the protrusion at a predetermined angle.

6 . The brake disc using different materials of claim 5 , wherein a the chamfer is formed on any one or more surfaces of an upper surface and a lower surface of the protrusion at a predetermined angle, and the chamfer is formed such that a sum of the predetermined angles becomes is from about 3 to about 6 degrees.

7 . The brake disc using different materials of claim 1 , wherein separation parts are formed between the insertion parts and the insertion grooves at a predetermined distance.

8 . The brake disc using different materials of claim 7 , wherein the distance between the separation parts is from about 0.3 to about 1 mm.
