Abstract

In order to achieve lightness and improve hardness of a brake disk, and minimize weight and improve productivity through an improvement of a coupling structure of a disk plate and a hub, provided is a method of manufacturing a brake disk including a disk plate, which provides a friction surface and is formed with a hole at a center, and a hub, which is coupled to the hole formed at the center of the disk plate, the method including: preparing a disk plate; preparing a hub in the form of a flat plate; positioning the hub in the form of the flat plate on one surface of the disk plate; and bonding the disk plate and the hub by an interference fit.

Claims (14)

1. A method of manufacturing a brake disk including a disk plate and a hub, the disk plate providing a friction surface and having a hole formed at a center thereof, and the hub being coupled to the hole, the method comprising:

preparing a disk plate;

preparing a hub; and

bonding the hub to the disk plate by an interference fit,

wherein the bonding includes: hot stamping the hub to the disk plate, and

wherein the hot stamping includes: disposing the disk plate within a molding machine, heating the hub at a high temperature, positioning the heated hub in the disk plate, pressurizing and molding the hub so that the hub is bonded to a hole of the disk plate to bond the hub to the disk plate by the interference fit, and quenching the hub.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the high temperature is a temperature of 900° C. to 950° C.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the pressurizing and molding includes: applying a pressure of 12 to 22 KN/cm 2 to the hub.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the preparing of the disk plate further includes: processing the hole in the form of an unevenness at a center of the disk plate.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the preparing of the hub further includes: processing a bonded portion of the hub that is in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the hole to have a form corresponding to the hole of the disk plate.
