Abstract
The present invention in one or more embodiments provides a roller tool for roughening a friction ring of a brake disk, the roller tool including a roller body including inner and outer ends and a casing surface positioned there-between, the inner end differing in cross-section dimension than the outer end, the casing surface including thereupon one or more protrusions for contacting the friction ring. The roller tool may further include a support frame supporting the roller body. The support frame may include a short leg connected to the outer end of the roller body and a long leg connected to the inner end of the roller body.

A roller tool for roughening a friction ring of a brake disk, comprising:
- a roller body including inner and outer ends and a casing surface positioned there-between, the inner end differing in cross-section dimension than the outer end, the casing surface including thereupon one or more protrusions for contacting the friction ring.
A method of making a brake disk with a friction ring, comprising:
- contacting the friction ring with a roller body of a roller tool, the roller body including inner and outer ends and a casing surface positioned there-between, the inner end differing in cross-section dimension than the outer end, the casing surface including thereupon one or more protrusions for contacting the friction ring.
A roller tool for roughening a friction ring of a brake disk, comprising:
- a roller body including inner and outer ends and a casing surface positioned there-between, the inner end being of an inner end circumference and the outer end being of an outer end circumference greater in value than the inner end circumference, the casing surface including thereupon one or more protrusions for contacting the friction ring;
- and
- a support frame supporting the roller body, the support frame including a short leg, a long leg, and an arm connecting the short and long legs, the short and long legs being respectively connected to the outer and inner ends of the roller body.
