What is the material of car calipers?

The material of automobile calipers is wear-resistant and high-strength carbon steel. The hardness of this steel is that it can be used as a brake caliper for a long time without being worn out. Carbon steel is a steel with carbon content less than 1.35% (0.1% - 1.2%), which does not contain other alloy elements except iron, carbon and impurities such as silicon, manganese, phosphorus and sulfur within the limit. The properties of carbon steel mainly depend on the carbon content.

Brake caliper is a caliper device with the functions of decelerating, stopping or maintaining the stopped state of moving wheels. It is generally only used in disc brake system.

CNC calipers will be better?

CNC is a processing method, which controls production through computer, but CNC does not mean forging. Casting will also be processed by CNC. Similarly, CNC cannot be used as a benchmark for caliper comparison.

Which is better, casting or forging?

The answer is forged calipers. With the same material, forging has stronger rigidity than casting, and under the same rigidity, forging is lighter than casting.

What materials are pistons made of?

Material: titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, iron; Influencing factors: heat dissipation and oxidation. The piston is the intermediate medium for the brake oil to push the brake pad. When the caliper works, the brake pad will produce high temperature due to friction. Under the conduction of the piston, the brake oil temperature will rise slowly. Brake oil that exceeds the operating temperature will lose its conductivity.
Therefore, the material with faster heat dissipation can provide more stable braking performance. The material also affects the performance of the piston. For example, a rusty piston will produce resistance when moving. The common materials of pistons from high to low are titanium alloy, aluminum alloy and iron.

Do you have to change the calipers?

If you want to achieve better braking effect and feel. Refitting calipers can really help you achieve your goal, but if you feel that the braking force is insufficient, you can try to change the brake pad first, and then gradually improve it.Moreover, the unit price of brake pad is also lower than that of refitted calipers, which can naturally avoid spending more unnecessary money!
