Which purpose did cross drilling of discs originally serve?

  • A.Reducing weight
  • B.Clearing water from the disc surface, which is why drilled discs are fitted to vehicles used in wet conditions
  • C.Venting gas from early friction materials
  • D.Cooling the disc, which is improved because the air passes through the holes and therefore removes the heat

Answer: C

Early linings outgassed heavily and the holes let the gas escape rather than forming a layer between the pad and the disc. Modern materials do not need it. The holes now serve mainly to initiate fatigue cracks. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold. Checking which component actually carries the load settles most questions of this kind at once. A symptom that appears under one condition and not another is what narrows the diagnosis quickly.
