*material consider for brake disc

1.Carbon Ceramic
-50% low weight than gray cast iron
-High thermal stability
-Audi,Buggati,Lambogini

2.stainless steel
-cost effective ,ease of manufaturability
-corrosion resistant
-weldability

3.Gray cast iron


-corrosion resistant
-low cost,machinability
-ease of manufacturability

4.Alluminium composite
-light weight
-heat decipation
As gray cast iron low cost and easily manufacturable we use gray cast iron

*material for Brake pedal


1.steel material
Type- FE-410 E-34 D-531 EDD-1079
tensile 387.79 450.79 367.69 340.53
strength
density 7.8E9 7.8e9 7.8e9 7.8e9

2.Aluminium Material
Type- Al99 AlCuMg1 AlSi(6009) AlZnMg(7005)
Tensile 140 370 340 530
Strength

Density 2710 2800 2710 2850

As steel material have higher density than aluminium material …from


aluminium composite Al7005 is best for brake peda as its tensile strength is
very compare to others at similar density.

*material for brake pad


1.Asbestos based brake pad
-it resist high heat
-it can cause cancer so it banned by government

2.Non asebestos Brake pad


-organic lining ,environmental friendly,rubber,glass,various type resign.
-less durable

3.Semi metallic
-brass,copper,steel
-durable,cheap

4.Ceramic friction
-light weight due to copper construction
-more heat dissipation
-Reduce metal-metal wear
-These pads are common in high performance vehicle

*Brake line material


1.Rubber
-less cost
-Easy to find the leak

2.Steel braided
-Rubber brake line wrapped in steel meshAP
-Steel braided restrict the swelling so increase the performance
-cost more than 30%
-it is difficult to find the leak

*Master cylinder
Tilton master cylinder AP Racing master cylinder
1.cost 675$ 1.cost 290$
2.weight 0.3 lbs 2.weight 0.6 lbs
3. 1 inch of total travel
Lock at 0.4 inch
So we use tilton master cylinder for our vehicle as its low cost and less weight

*Balance Bar
-Steel 4140 is used to manufacturing due to its high yield strength
-as it receive all the force transfer by brake pedal so it shold have high yield
strength

*Pedal box
-4130 chromoly is used for manufacturing the pedal box
-light weight ,strong and easily manufacturable
-Aluminium can be used to reduce the weight
