A brake disc is exposed to various loads during its operational life, which cause braking surface wearing, disc deformation, structural changes, residual stresses etc. The goal of this paper is to find out the main cause of fractures on braking surface, by measuring flatness and wear of braking surface, and to give main guidelines to prolong the operational life and to prevent catastrophic failures. Measurement of flatness and wear was performed on coordinate measuring machine Zeiss Contura G2. Obtained results are then further analyzed using 3D CAD software Solidworks.
