SCA Brake Theoretical Temperature Increase
The SCA rotor is a solid steel clad aluminum disc with mounting hat. Its theoretical temperature increase
equation is slightly different:
With the same disc brake OD and thickness, a solid SCA rotor can store more heat than a vented cast iron
rotor.
Where
= theoretical temperature increase, °C
= the percentage rear braking
= vehicle weight, kg
= initial velocity, m/s
= final velocity, m/s
= gravitational constant, 9.8 m/s^2
= rotor body material density, kg/m^3
= rotor body material specific heat capacity, J/kg °C
= rotor body material volume, m^3
= clad material density, kg/m^3
= clad material specific heat capacity, J/kg°C
= clad material volume, m^3
