Automotive Brake Rotors Depth of Wear Evaluations Assist in Quantifying Brake Rotor Treatments Situation: Vehicles subjected to extreme driving conditions (such as police cruisers) typically require brakes and rotors to be replaced on a frequent basis. Therefore, increasing the life of a brake rotor can have a significant impact on maintenance costs and the time the vehicle must be taken out of service for repairs. Unfortunately, the cost to perform a life study on a test stand or in actual usage can be extremely expensive. Precision Fleet Brakes (now known as Fleet Physics), a supplier of automotive brake rotors, found this out when they were trying to analyze the wear performance of different heat treatments. They approached Taber to explore cost effective R&D solutions that would differ
