What are the materials for the car calipers?
If the hydraulic oil pushes pressure on the main cylinder to push the piston, the piston pushes the brake disc, and its reaction causes the caliper to pull inward.
Brake caliper is a kind of caliper device that has the function of slowing down, stopping or stopping the moving wheels. It is only used in disc brake system. The working principle of the disc brake can be described by a plate. When the rotating plate is held with thumb and forefinger, the plate will stop rotating, and the thumb and forefinger play the role of the brake caliper.
The material for car calipers is abrasion resistant high strength carbon steel. This steel can be used for a long time as a brake caliper without being worn out. Carbon steel is carbon containing less than 1.35% (0.1%-1.2%), in addition to iron, carbon and limited within the limits of silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur and other impurities, excluding other alloy elements of steel. The performance of carbon steel depends mainly on carbon content.
