      Brake discs, also known as brake rotors, are a crucial component of a vehicle's braking system. Surface treatments help improve wear resistance, reduce friction, and protect against corrosion. Here are some common surface treatment methods for brake discs.
        1.     Anti-rust oiling for brake discs This the simplest way to treat surface of brake discs.
        2. Zinc plating for discs Zinc plating is a common surface treatment that involves electroplating a thin layer of zinc onto the brake disc. The advantages include: enhanced corrosion protection; aesthetic appeal; durability.   3.     Geomet coating for brake discs Geomet coating is a water-based, chrome-free solution often used for brake discs. It has superior corrosion resistance and high performance. Being chrome-free, it is less harmful to the environment compared to traditional coatings.   4.     Dacromet coating for brake discs Dacromet is another type of water-based coating, similar to Geomet, but with a different composition.
        5.     Black/Grey painting for brake discs You can choose all body spay, semi-spray, painting hats or painting edges.   Selecting the appropriate surface treatment for brake discs is essential to ensure optimal performance, durability, and safety. Each method has its unique advantages, making it suitable for different applications and environmental conditions.
