Brake rotors are a crucial component in the braking system, offering stable braking performance. Due to their sensitivity to temperature and climate, the production process of brake rotors requires specific environmental standards. As a result, rust prevention becomes even more important. Rust prevention between processes must ensure that metal workpieces are produced without rust throughout the manufacturing process. This not only guarantees that all parts remain rust-free during assembly and packaging, but also ensures both the aesthetic appeal and safety of the brake rotors.
If there's only a slight rust on the surface, we can remove it by driving and continuously braking, of course, while ensuring safety and not affecting public transportation. While driving, gently apply the brakes to allow the friction between the brake pads and rotors to "sand" the surface. If the rust on the rotors is severe, the aforementioned braking method is not applicable. Excessive rust can cause the rotor surface to become uneven. In this case, braking can cause the vehicle to shake, and the driver can clearly feel the abnormality in the brake pedal, steering wheel, and body. At this point, the rust is difficult to remove. Even if you try to "sand" it, it will still cause abnormal wear on the brake pads and continue to cause shaking.
Many manufacturers use anti-rust oil to prevent rust on brake rotors, yet some products still develop rust before use. Therefore, it's essential to improve the anti-rust process that solely relies on applying anti-rust oil. Enhanced cleaning and anti-rust techniques between processes should be implemented to ensure all rotors are properly rust-protected before assembly. This prevents the rotors from losing their anti-rust capability before they are in use, which could lead to rust issues with new vehicles before they even hit the road. Poor packaging sealing and lack of moisture-proofing assistance for the brake rotors can also pose rust risks.
In selecting packaging materials for brake discs (various packaging papers, plastic films, etc.), considerations should be given to transportation and storage conditions, as well as rust prevention requirements. If a vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor is used on the brake disc surface, poor packaging can lead to the leakage of the inhibitor, causing rust. Therefore, it is essential to choose packaging materials carefully.
②To address the tendency of brake discs to rust, anti-rust protection can be added to the transportation packaging, such as selecting VC|anti-rust bags, VCI vapor phase corrosion inhibitors for packaging. To further enhance the anti-rust cycle during transportation and storage, desiccants or anti-rust desiccants can be placed inside the packaging.
