ABSTRACT
This paper deals with design and analysis of disc brake rotor using composite material. The
composite material used is Aluminum Metallic Medium Composite it is a the combination of
aluminum and silicon carbide length ways With a small percentage of other materials like
magnesium, aluminum oxide, graphite .These additional materials are added in accurate quantity
to increase the chemical, mechanical and thermal properties of material. The manufacturing
process is carried ready in organized location. Magnitude die casting process is used to
manufacture the disc brake using the composite material. In this paper the composite disc brake is
modeled in CATIA .The forces acting on the disc brake model are calculated using ADAMS
software.
Key words: Aluminum Metallic Medium Composite, Reinforcement, mixing casting, composite,
ansys, Disc brake.

1. INTRODUCTION
Aluminum mixtures are used in innovative presentations because of tall strong point, little density,
durability, machinability, accessibility and rate is precise beautiful compared to challenging materials. The
aluminum metallic matrix composite resources is the grouping of two or more elements in which one is
medium and further is filler materials (Reinforcements).Aluminum metal matrix may be coated, threads or
Particulates use composites. Usually, Grey cast iron is recycled to manufacture brake disc rotor, then again
Aluminum Metallic Medium Composite Designated considering critical compensations of the AMMC
(Al6061-3%SiC-9% red mud) concluded cast iron material. Disc brake used for braking or stopping the
vehicle or to keep a endless velocity or to common the automobile. This requirement dictates the right
