Abstract

A method of forming a brake rotor includes forming a plurality of metal insert portions. Each insert portion includes an inner side and an outer side with a plurality of attachment members coupled to the inner side. The method also includes positioning the plurality of insert portions into a mold such that the inner side of one of the plurality of insert portions faces the inner side of another one of the insert portions. The method also includes introducing a molten aluminum into the mold such that the molten aluminum contacts the inner side of each insert portion. The method further includes forming a mechanical bond between the aluminum and at least a portion of at least one of the inserts.
