In high-performance and safety-critical braking systems, the caliper is a key actuator. Forged brake calipers, with their superior material integrity, structural strength, and thermal management, are the preferred solution for demanding applications, outperforming traditional cast units in extreme conditions.
Core Advantages of Forging:
High-Temperature Stability: Dense grain structure ensures consistent braking force and reduces fade during repeated hard stops.
High Strength & Stiffness: Continuous metal grain flow provides greater rigidity for precise brake feel and efficiency under high pressure.
Lightweight Design: Achieves significant weight reduction versus cast calipers, improving suspension response and vehicle dynamics.
Compliance & Traceability: Manufactured under strict quality standards (e.g., AS9100D, IATF 16949) ensuring full traceability.
Key Specifications
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Recommended Material | Aerospace-grade high-strength aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061-T6, 7075-T73) |
| Core Process | Multi-directional / Isothermal Forging |
| Operating Temp. Range | -40°C to >300°C (peak tolerance) |
| Compliance Standards | Can conform to AS9100D (Aerospace), IATF 16949 (Automotive) |
Procurement Guidance
Request material certification (e.g., AMS standards) and verify the forging/heat treatment process.
Confirm design compatibility with your vehicle's wheel, disc, and mounting specifications.
For critical applications, require performance data (rigidity, fatigue testing).
