Abstract

The paper introduces the correlations between the hardness at various points of the braking shoes, according to provisions and standards, and the carbon, manganese and silicon content of the phosphorous cast iron they are made of. The correlations are given both in analytical and graphical form. They allow the determination of the optimal variation domains for the independent parameters (the content of carbon, manganese and silicon).

Keywords
