The function of the brake disc is to provide the ultimate guarantee of the safety of high speed trains. A braking unit includes two discs and two brake shoes. Braking performance depends on the pressure of the brake shoe and the friction between the disc and the shoe. When a train is braked, the brake disc endures a thermal load, which may affect the mechanical properties of the disc. If the thermal load exceeds the strength limit of the material, it could impact the safe running of the train. Therefore, the thermal load should be reduced as much as possible. Now the frictional surface of disc is plane and heat congregates easily in the surface area. The purpose of this paper is to explore a design for enhanced heat dissipation. A gas channel was used on the frictional surface to achieve the effect of heat dissipation. This design was analyzed by means of tribology and heat transfer theory. The distribution of gas flow was also researched. The temperature and stress field of the disc were simulated and analyzed. By the analysis it can be seen that the gas channel on the frictional surface of disc has a remarkable effect on heat dissipation in the brake disc.
