What material is the brake disc of the Malibu XL made of?
1 Answers
The brake disc of the Malibu XL is made of cast iron. The brake disc is a round disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force, which slows down or stops the vehicle when the brake is applied. The advantages of brake discs are as follows: 1. Continuous braking is less likely to cause brake fade and failure. 2. The change in size of the brake disc due to heat does not increase the travel distance of the brake pedal. 3. The disc brake system responds quickly and can perform high-frequency braking actions, making it more suitable for ABS system requirements. 4. The braking force is more evenly distributed between the left and right wheels with disc brakes. 5. The better drainage of brake discs reduces the likelihood of poor braking caused by water or mud. 6. The structure is simple and easy to maintain.
