 According the first example described above in the through hole 12 of the seventh example, the edge of the opening, has an inclined surface 12x than the radial direction of the disc plate portion 10a extends greatly in the circumferential direction of the disc plate 10a. Thus, turbulence caused by the opening of the through-hole 12 is suppressed, thereby reducing the noise generated by the opening. In general, among the entire circumference of the edge of the opening, a portion facing the direction orthogonal to the rotating direction of the brake disk 10 is likely to occur noise liable disturbed airflow, the rotational direction parallel direction There site is less likely to occur is noise since it is difficult disturbed airflow. Therefore, the form of the inclined surface 12x, without wastefully reducing the contact area between the disc plate portion 10a and the sliding contact member can efficiently reduce the noise. Thus, while suppressing the braking capability of the brake disc 10 is lowered, it is possible to reduce noise generated from the brake disk 10 during traveling of the railway vehicle.
[0025]

The vertical axis of FIG. 6 shows the noise level of each frequency band, the horizontal axis of FIG. 6 shows the center frequency of the third octave band. FIG 7 shows the peak noise level, the overall noise level of the primary frequency range of the noise through hole causes (1250Hz ~ 5000Hz).
[0026]
 As shown in FIG. 6, according to the brake disk 10 of the present embodiment having an inclined surface 12x of R24 or C24, compared configuration without chamfer, or the brake disc where the configuration of the entire circumference C2, 2500 Hz peripheral it was confirmed that the noise level of significantly reduced. Similarly, according to the brake disk 10 of the present embodiment having an inclined surface 12x of R6 or C6, it was confirmed that the noise level of around 2500Hz is more significantly reduced.
[0027]
 Further, as shown in FIG. 7, according to the brake disk 10 of the present embodiment having an inclined surface 12x of R24 or C24, configuration without chamfering, or compared to the brake disc where the configuration of the entire circumference C2, it was confirmed that the peak noise level is remarkably reduced.

[0028]
 Figure 8 is a graph showing the relationship between the size and the peak noise level of the inclined surface.
 Noise generated by the opening of the through hole 12, of the total circumference of the opening, is presumed that the noise generated at the edges perpendicular to the direction of rotation of the brake disc 10 becomes dominant. Therefore, the size of the inclined surface 12x in this site is presumed to be correlated to the noise level. The size of the inclined surface of this site is zero in the configuration of "no chamfering", 2 mm in the configuration of the "entire circumference C2", 6 mm in the configuration of the "R6" and "C6", and "R24" in the construction of "C24" is it is a 24mm.
 Based on such guess, when calculating the correlation between the size and the peak noise level of the inclined surface 12x, the approximate curve shown in FIG. 8 is determined. According to this approximation curve, the size of the inclined surface by a 4mm or more and 24mm or less, is presumed to peak noise level is remarkably reduced. Further, by making the size of the inclined surface to 5mm or more and 20mm or less, is presumed to peak noise level is more significantly reduced.
