Primarily, slotting aids in removal of water and debris on the rotor surface, evacuation of hot pad "off gassing" vapor, and provides a visual wear indicator. <b><br> <br> Details:</b> These slots <u> do <i>not</i> extend all the way to the edge of the rotor </u> for a very specific reason; this maintains the structural integrity of the rotor. Other brands with slots all the way to the end have created "stress risers" where cracking may develop. No such problem exists with this design. Additionally, directional slotting enhances effectiveness.<b><br> <br> NO DRILLING!</b> Drilled holes in rotors often used for "show" are prone to cracking and catastrophic failure. The holes create stress risers which will lead to this sort of failure. Additionally, drilled holes <i>do not improve cooling<b>,</b></i><b> </b>rotary-vane rotors <i>lose efficiency when drilled </i>because cooling air does not not pass through the rotor circumferentially but is instead prematurely evacuated by the holes.</span></p> <p> <span class="text"><b>Plating:</b> Multi-stage plating resists unsightly corrosion on the rotor hub and unswept areas of the rotor face.<br> <br> <b>Precision:</b> due to the ultra-precise tolerances used for run-out, parallelism, and surface flatness, absolutely no pre-installation machining is required for smooth operation without vibration or shimmy.<br> <br> <b>Manufacturing details:</b></span></p> <ul> <li><span class="text">Meets SAE J431 standard for grade 3000 gray cast iron</span></li> <li><span class="text">Alloying: Copper and Chromium added to achieve specific hardness and tensile strength.</span></li> <li><span class="text">Precision-controlled cooling during the casting process creates a uniform distribution of graphite flakes, thus increasing wear resistance and the ability to dissipate heat. In contrast, premature cooling of cast iron can cause iron brittleness, thus making the brake rotor more likely to warp or crack, especially when overheated under hard braking conditions.</span></li> <li><span class="text">Run-out less than .004".</span></li> <li><span class="text">Parallelism of machined surfaces within .0005" tolerance.</span></li> </ul> <p class="text"><span class="text"> <br> &#169; 2005 Chiba Technologies, Inc. d/b/a UUC Motorwerks<br> </span> </p> </blockquote> </P> <P> <LI>SKU: OEROTORR-1811 <LI>package: rotors only; rotors with Hawk Performance Ceramic pads (HB518Z)</P> <BR clear=left><BR><P> <B>RELATED PRODUCTS</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/uuc/Product301 TITLE="Motul 600 brake fluid - 0.5 liter">Motul 600 brake fluid - 0.5 liter</A><BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/uuc/Product315 TITLE="stainless steel brake line kit - 4 lines - all E46 3-series and M3"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/uuc/images/4_1_parts.jpg" WIDTH=150 ALIGN=left ALT="stainless steel brake line kit - 4 lines - all E46 3-series and M3" NAME="stainless steel brake line kit - 4 lines - all E46 3-series and M3" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/uuc/Product315 TITLE="stainless steel brake line kit - 4 lines - all E46 3-series and M3">stainless steel brake line kit - 4 lines - all E46 3-series and M3</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/uuc" TITLE="UUC Motorwerks Products">UUC Motorwerks Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.uucmotorwerks.com">UUC Motorwerks</A> <BR>UUC Motorwerks Online Store powered by Nexternal <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart software">shopping cart software</A>
