A method for producing a brake disk for a wheel brake of a land vehicle includes laser depositing a duplex steel anti-corrosion layer to an axial friction side of a main body produced from gray cast iron at a surface speed of more than 10 m/min and applying an anti-abrasion layer to the anti-corrosion layer.

Brake disk and method for producing a brake disk

A guard plate for a disk brake of a vehicle includes a base element having at least one fastening section for arranging the base element in relation to a brake disk of the disk brake and at least one extension element. The at least one extension element may be movable relative to the base element and is configured to be moved and fixed between an initial position and at least one extension position.

Guard plate for a disk brake and disk brake

A brake disk for a wheel brake of a land vehicle includes a main body formed from gray cast iron. The main body has at least one axial friction side, at least one anti-corrosion layer applied to the axial friction side, and at least one anti-abrasion layer applied to the anti-corrosion layer. The anti-corrosion layer is a duplex steel layer that provides a cost-effective coating for the brake disk and enables improved corrosion resistance. The anti-abrasion layer is wear resistant and is provided by a SiC material containing at least one oxidic or metallic binder, or by an iron-based alloy having a vanadium carbide reinforcement, a niobium carbide reinforcement, a boron carbide reinforcement, a chromium carbide reinforcement or combinations thereof.

A braking apparatus for a vehicle including a wheel suspension part attached to a body of the vehicle and a wheel hub attached to the wheel suspension part. An attached air-cooled brake disk rotates relative to the wheel suspension part. A protective cover arranged on a side of the brake disk that at least partially covers the brake disk. The protective cover fastened in a stationary manner to the wheel suspension part. The protective cover including an air flow opening feeding cooling air to the brake disk. An airflow control mechanism opens and closes the air flow opening along with reducing and increasing a gap between a radial end side of the brake disk and an inner side of a wheel rim of a vehicle wheel.

Protective cover for vehicle brake

A brake disk includes a circular base body having a circumferential outer brake rim, a friction layer in certain regions on the base body and an adhesion-promoter or functional layer arranged over an entirety of the base body.

Process for producing a brake disk and brake disk

The disclosure relates to a brake disk and a method for producing a brake disk. The method may include roughening at least some area(s) of a surface of the main body, forming a metal coating on at least some area(s) of the roughened region of the surface of the main body, applying an enamel slip to at least some area(s) of the surface of the main body, drying the applied enamel slip, and heating the main body to form the enamel coating and to join the metal coating metallurgically to the main body. The brake disk may include a main body having an enamel coating arranged at least in some area(s). A metal coating may additionally be formed on the surface of the main body, at least in some area(s), wherein the metal coating is joined metallurgically to the main body.

Method for producing a brake disk and a brake disk

The invention relates to a process for producing a brake disk for a vehicle, in which a friction layer is arranged at least in certain regions on a base body of the brake disk.
