GMW 16394 Brake Rotors - Test for Gray Cast Iron

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of GMW 16394 testing. GMW 16394 is a General Motors (GM) standard specification for brake rotors used in automotive applications. The standard specifies requirements for gray cast iron brake rotors used in vehicles including passenger cars, light commercial trucks and other vehicles.

Gray cast iron is a widely used material for brake rotors due to its high thermal conductivity, good wear resistance and low cost. The GMW 16394 standard specifies the chemical composition, mechanical properties and dimensional requirements for gray cast iron brake rotors.

The standard covers various aspects of brake rotor design, including diameter, thickness, and minimum wall thickness of the rotor. It also specifies the maximum and minimum values ​​for rotor runout, parallelism and surface roughness.

Additionally, GMW 16394 specifies testing and inspection requirements for brake rotors to ensure they meet specified standards for quality and performance. This includes hardness, tensile strength and elongation tests, as well as non-destructive testing to detect defects such as cracks and voids.

Overall, GMW 16394 is an important standard that helps ensure the safe and reliable operation of brake systems on GM vehicles by specifying the requirements for brake rotors used in these systems.
