3600A 3600AX brake drum for fuwa type 13t axle in AMERICA market

Why does red brake drum cause tire burn?

With the arrival of high temperature in summer, because few driver frequently stepped on the brake, the brake drum turned red and the temperature increased. Then the hot brake drum transfers the temperature to the rim, which in turn transfers the temperature to the tire.
As we all know, the main component of a tire is rubber. When it is hot, the part of the tire in contact with the steel ring is easy to be burned, which is commonly known as the burning phenomenon. Once the tire burns, the tire will be scrapped.
Therefore, the burning problem of the tire is not caused by the quality problem of the tire itself!
How to prevent tire burning?

1. Slow down and don't brake frequently
Long time and high frequency braking is easy to cause the brake drum to turn red, which leads to the problem of tire burning. So slow down and don't frequently step on the brake. At the same time, it also provides guarantee for the safe travel of driver friends!

2. Water the shaft head in time to cool it down
Due to the high temperature in summer and the long-time high-speed driving of the vehicle, the temperature of the axle head is very high due to the long-time friction heat generation. At this time, spray water on the axle head in time to reduce the temperature of the axle head and the brake drum problem. In addition to water cooling, you can also take a rest after driving for a certain distance and park the vehicle in a cool place to cool down naturally!

Five common causes of brake drum cracking
1. The brake is very hot, and the water inlet pool is too hot
Many high-speed downhill sections will be designed in the hillside to cool the water pool, used to reduce the temperature of the brake drum. If the temperature of the brake drum is too high, directly into the pool is easy to cause cracks, or even burst.
Suggestion: if the brake drum temperature is too high, stop for a rest and let it cool naturally.

 2. Turn on the shower only when the temperature is high
Brake water spray is an important device to ensure the safety of domestic trucks. It is mainly used to reduce the temperature of brake drum and reduce the heat recession of brake. If the brake drum is too hot, it will only crack.
Suggestion: before going downhill, it's better to choose long-distance driving for drenching. It doesn't cost much, but it can improve driving safety.
The brake water spraying device has always been a very contradictory thing in China. In the north, you can install it. He said that you can modify it. In the south, you can't install it. He said that you violate the rules. Only the truck people know the taste of embarrassment and pain. It is suggested that the vehicle with auxiliary braking should be selected and operated correctly to reduce unnecessary service braking when going downhill.

 3. Change to "brake king"
The brakes don't work well. There are many reasons. In order to improve the braking effect, some drivers will choose a product called brake king. The so-called "good braking" of the brake king is nothing more than increasing the amount of air passing through the brake gas path. As a result, the brake drum can not bear such a large force, leading to fracture.
Suggestion: poor braking is generally a system problem. Check the air circuit, valve body and mechanical parts of the system. It's better not to use the brake king.

4. Excessive dependence on trailer braking
In order to prevent the phenomenon of "pushing head" on wet and slippery road, some domestic semi-trailer tractors weaken the brake of main vehicle and rely too much on the brake of trailer, which leads to the overload of brake drum of trailer and high failure rate.
Suggestions: pay attention to check the whole vehicle braking, maintain the overall coordination of the main vehicle and trailer braking, and do not rely too much on the trailer braking.

5. Don't pay attention to the inspection
Some careless drivers usually don't pay attention to the condition of their brake drum. When maintaining the car, they should pay more attention to the thickness of the brake drum and whether there are too serious cracks.
Suggestion: the truck should be repaired by maintenance instead of repair. Pay attention to the inspection at ordinary times, and don't wait until it is broken
