Curing is a term in polymer chemistry and process engineering that refers to the toughening or hardening of a polymer material by cross-linking of polymer chains, brought about by electron beams, heat or chemical additives.esin curing [edit]. Despite the wide variety of thermoset resin formulations (epoxy, vinylester, polyester, etc.), their cure behavior is qualitatively identical.
The brake drum mounts on the axle or wheel hub, and some drums incorporate the hub. Most brake drums are made of solid cast iron, but there are also steel and aluminum drums with cast iron liners. The machined friction surface on all drums is cast iron.
Drum brakes: On vehicles with drum brakes on the rear axle, the parking brake cable pulls on a lever mounted within the rear brake drum. The cable is connected directly to the brake shoes, and upon application, it physically pulls the shoes into the spinning drum to create stopping friction.
