A Case Study in Brake Rotor Innovation at GM
|
Ferritic nitrocarburizing (FNC) has emerged as a powerful, low-distortion heat treatment solution for automotive components, especially brake rotors, thanks to its wear resistance, corrosion protection, and compatibility with tight dimensional tolerances.
In this Technical Tuesday installment, adapted from a recent Heat Treat Radio conversation, Mike Holly, a retired GM metallurgical engineer, shares how FNC reshaped brake rotor technology at General Motors (GM), and what its future may hold for commercial and in-house heat treaters alike.
