Question

Disc brake rotors that are too thin cannot handle as much heat and will experience ___________.

Answer 1

Answer:

brake fade

Explanation:

Among the most frequent problems in the brake disc is their overheating. When there is overheating, the temperature of the disc rises to critical values, thus the brake pad starts to slide with respect to the disc, and the efficiency of the brake system decreases to a minimum.

Overheating of the brake disc is detected when inspecting the parts. Steel is the most common base material in the creation of brake discs. When heated, the material becomes its color. A disc of steel at critical temperature, turns bright orange and later on cooling becomes purple.

If a color change is seen on the brake discs when inspecting, a service station must be contacted without delay for an in-depth examination. After detecting the problem, the brake discs and pads will be changed in a mandatory way.
