EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of GMW 16218 testing. This standard describes the requirements for gray iron brake rotors with Ferritic Nitrocarbide (FNC).
GMW 16218 is a General Motors (GM) standard for ferritic nitrocarburized brake rotors used in automotive applications. Ferritic nitrocarburizing is a surface treatment process that improves the performance and durability of brake rotors.
The GMW 16218 standard specifies requirements for ferritic nitrocarburized brake rotors used in vehicles, including passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and other vehicles. 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.
The standard also defines the ferritic nitrocarburization process, including surface hardness and microhardness requirements, case depth and surface roughness. The process involves diffusion of nitrogen and carbon to the surface of the brake rotor, which increases its hardness, wear resistance and fatigue strength.
GMW 16218 also specifies testing and inspection requirements for ferritic nitrocarburized 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 16218 is an important standard that helps ensure the safe and reliable operation of brake systems on GM vehicles by specifying the requirements for ferritic nitrocarburized brake rotors used in these systems. The surface treatment process improves the performance and durability of brake rotors, resulting in better brake performance and longer service life.
