A braking band for a disk-brake disk which is capable of exceptionally quiet braking comprises at least two plates connected to one another by connecting elements, in which the space between the plates forms an internal air-duct for the cooling of the braking band. At least one of the plates has, in one of its surfaces defining the air-ducts, at least one groove which extends along at least a portion of an orbit around the axis of symmetry of the disk and the cross-section of which becomes wider towards the air-duct.

Braking band for a brake disk

The invention relates to a method and tools for producing a braking band () of a disk-brake disk () by casting, in which the disk comprises at least two plates (') connected to one another by connecting elements () forming an internal air-duct () for the cooling of the braking band (). With the method and the tools, a disk is produced in which at least one of the plates (&#x2032;) has, in its surface (&#x2032;) defining the air-ducts (), at least one groove (&#x2032;) having a cross-section which becomes wider towards the air-duct.
