Method for the production of a brake disk and brake disk
View Patent ↗A method for the production of a brake disk and a brake disk which are characterized by the following features: several pairs of bushings inserted into each other are placed into a core box. The core is closed about the bushings in such a way that they form an integral component of the core. The core is inserted into a casting tool and the brake disk is cast. After the core is removed, the brake disk hub and the friction ring are decoupled from each other and can expand in relation to each other without shielding the brake disk.
1. A method for manufacturing a cast brake disk, the method comprising:
providing at least two pairs of bodies, each pair including two bodies inserted into one another and movable with respect to one another along an axis of the pair;
disposing the at least two pair in a casting core such that the respective axis of each pair is substantially radially aligned with respect to the brake disk;
disposing the casting core in a casting mold;
filling the casting mold with a liquid metal and cooling so as to provide a solidified cast brake disk by casting the brake disk hub and the friction ring as part of the solidified cast brake disk and joining the brake disk hub and the friction ring using a bridge during the casting;
removing the core from the solidified cast brake disk, wherein the at least two pair of bodies form joining elements of the cast brake disk between a brake disk hub and a friction ring, a first body of the pair of bodies being directly connected only to the friction ring and a second body of the pair of bodies being directly connected only to the brake disk hub; and
removing the bridge from the solidified cast brake disk.
2. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least two pair of bodies are disposed in a core box and further comprising shooting a core sand into the core box, the core box being at least partially surrounded by the core.
