A brake rotor having first and second brake plates and a corrugated fin structure. The fin structure has a plurality of fins. A first portion of each fin is metallurgically bonded to the first brake plate and a second portion of each fin is metallurgically bonded to the second brake plate. The use of a corrugated fin structure that is separately manufactured from the brake plates permits design choices with respect to fin type, fins per inch, material type and thickness, cross sectional shape of fin, and special fin characteristics that better permit the brake rotor to match its intended environment and expected performance.
