ABSTRACT
There is lot of upgrade in the technology of the automobile these days.
Competition on the speed of vehicles going on in the market. But also this
speed leads to accidents if vehicle don’t stop on time. Disc brakes in the
vehicles give much better performance compare to drum to stop the vehicle
also the heat generated during braking force can be easily dissipated as disc
brakes are open to atmosphere. But the main problem is with the material
used in the disc brakes in some vehicle. Manufacturers use disc of steel which
have short life span and the weight is bulky near the tire. If disc loses its shape
wobbling can caused near the tire causing a big problem. The main motto of
this thesis is to improve the strength of the disc by taking various materials for
analysis. The design has been taken from real world. Dimensions of Santro
Xing car has been taken and plotted in three dimensions on solid works.
Materials like Al-ni-co & titanium alloy has been selected for analysis to
compare it with existing material. 3D model has been imported on analysis to
analyze the stresses produced in the disc brake and to check the deformation
occurred in the disc after applying the boundary conditions. After all the
analysis comparison has been made and a result has been concluded for the
best material with good strength.
Key words: Ansys Software, Thermal Analysis, Brake Disc, Cast Iron.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. BRAKE DISC
A disc brake is a type of brake that uses Calipers with brake pads. To resist the
motion. The brake disc (or rotor) is made of cast-iron, such as a vehicle axle, either to
reduce its rotational speed or to hold it stationary. The development and use of disc-
type brakes began in England in the 1890s. The first caliper-type automobile disc
