How hot do disk brakes get on an average car?

is there a difference between disk brake temperatures compared to the outside and the internal disk? do some cars disk brakes get hotter compared to other cars? if so which ones? what is a maximum and minimum heat temperature? by maximum i mean in an extreme condition. and what is the most common material that a brake disk is made of? which produces more heat and which one produces less? which material lasts longer?How hot do disk brakes get on an average car?most of them are made of cast iron and yes they get pretty hot but if yours are getting too hot then maybe you have a caliper hanging up.How hot do disk brakes get on an average car?Disk brakes contact the rotors 100% of the time and that generates heat - not nearly as much as when they are applied, but heat none the less. A floating or sliding caliper minimizes the pressure, as does the retracting characteristic of the rubber piston seal, but the pads remain constantly in contact with the rotor.

Caliper paint (0掳 to 1471掳 Fahrenheit) gives a good indication of the temperatures that these brakes can make.
