Disc brakes are used in vehicles to slow down or stop the angular and linear velocity of the wheels that uses calipers to squish a set of two similar pads versus the disc. During this process, the disc or rotor gets heated up due to friction from the pads. Frequent braking will cause abundant heating of the disc or rotor. Therefore, it is crucial in quick dissipation of heat from the rotor disc. Keeping this in mind, a comparison between the different materials is modelled in Creo parametric and it is analyzed in ANSYS 2019 R3, in this paper transient analysis of Cast Iron,Tungsten carbide and Hafnium carbide is modelled and analyzed using Creo and ANSYS 2019 R3 respectively. The best among them is selected as a material for the disc rotor.
