Steel rotors have applications in all types of motorsports. Steel rotors
provide a durable lightweight option in applications where sustained
temperatures remain in the low to moderate range, and high heat spikes are only
observed on an intermittent basis. This could be anything from a hard stopping
drag race car at the end of a quarter mile, or a high speed stock car coming in
from a qualifier at a super speedway. Steel rotors can also be found in lighter
weight open wheel cars such as sprints and modifieds, and a variety of light
weight, open wheel road course racers. A special alloy and proprietary
manufacturing processes give these rotors high resistance to thermal distortion
with excellent friction and wear characteristics against the pads.
