is this a drum brake ?
there are a piece of metal sheet assemble to this thing, and what's is the name of the metal?
The commonly used metal for drum brake parts is cast iron. It is a strong and durable material that can withstand high temperatures and friction.
Cast iron has a high carbon content which makes it resistant to wear and tear. It also has good heat dissipation properties, making it suitable for use in braking systems.
In some cases, other metals such as steel or aluminum may also be used in drum brake parts. However, they are not as commonly used as cast iron.
Aside from its durability and heat dissipation properties, cast iron is also cost-effective and readily available. It also has good machinability, making it easy to shape and manufacture into specific brake parts.
One potential disadvantage of using cast iron in drum brake parts is its weight. It is a heavy metal, which can add to the overall weight of the vehicle. However, this is usually not a significant issue for most vehicles.
