Cast iron brake blocks - Part 4: The effect of phosphorus content on friction and wear characteristics using a simulated multiple unit powered axle load (TN-MS-16)

Last updated on 25 April 2014 3:39

Full scale tests have been carried out on the brake dynamometer at BSC (SPT) Rotherham to investigate the effects of phosphorus on the friction and wear of cast iron brake blocks. The inertia was chosen to simulate a multiple unit powered axle load (13-5 tonnes) using a brake force of...
