ABSTRACT:
Composition brake drums are made by die casting aluminum or other light weight metal around (A) the periphery of a substantially biplanar stamped steel drum back having a plurality of alternating holes and voids in its outermost edge in a plane and (B) a cast iron braking ring with smooth inner braking surface and rough outer surface whereby the lightweight die cast fills the holes and voids and interlocks with the rough outer surface to provide a brake drum of unitary construction that has improved braking performance with reduced weight and cost, especially compared to similar brake drums having a drum back of cast lightweight metal.
