Abstract
A solid disk of a disk brake has a hat and a disk element which are joined to each other by a junction. The junction has a plurality of communication holes defined therein which provides communication between opposite sliding surfaces of the disk element. First cooling air flows along one of the sliding surface of the disk element, and second cooling air flows smoothly through the communication holes along the opposite sliding surface of the disk element for effectively cooling the disk element in its entirety.
