The compression modulus and other properties of Ferodo 2718 brake blocks and their effect on hot-spotting behaviour (TM-MS-028)

In the past few years a number of measurements of physical properties of Ferodo 2718 brake blocks have been made. Some values of compression modulus of a cylinder and Brinell hardness were published in O.R.E. Report B.64/RP.9 in April 1971. Since that time rather different testing procedures have been adopted...
