The paper presents the results of the experiments on obtaining a composite material to be used in manufacturing brake shoes for the rolling stock. The aim was to replace the classical material used at present for the manufacturing of brake shoes: cast iron with a specially designed composite material. Six recipes have been tested and compared to a standard sample made of phosphorous cast iron. The wear trials carried out in laboratory conditions on the experimental test rods have led to results that entitle further experiments that implies the manufacturing of brake shoes made of the composite material in question.

The paper relates laboratory experiments in order to obtain a composite material used for brake shoe manufacture. Regarding the testing materials were processed 38 samples. The percentage and composition of materials are: 15-45% novolac, 1,5-10% hexametyltetramin, 0-8% sulfur, 0-15% carbon fiber, 0-20% graphite, 0-25% aluminum, 15-28% brass and 0-40% rubber. The evolution of tribological and temperature parameters were analyzed in the contact zone tribological testing disk - split pin method. The composite material has the role to replace the classic material (cast iron) used in brake shoes composition in order to reduce the noise caused by rolling stock.

The paper presents the experiments performed in the laboratory and the results obtained on friction and wear behaviour of the composite materials for the manufacture of brake shoes used for driving and towed rolling stock. The tribological research of these samples made of composite material with organic components aimed to determine the influence of certain material factors and operating regime parameters on the tribological properties of the tested samples. The brake shoes made of composite materials oneusesto replace the conventional cast iron brake shoes, to reduce the noise. The future research will focus on finding composite materials with superior properties compared to the currently used ones, and lower costs.

The variety of requirements for friction pairs requires the development of different technologies for the production of tribological materials with reference to the operation modes. Composite materials obtained by the casting technology have been successfully applied for the normalization of the thermomechanical state of the steam turbines. These composites consist of the matrix based on copper alloys reinforced with cast iron granules. Because the structure and properties of cast iron are determined by the conditions of their production studies have been conducted on determination of preparation conditions on grain structure and properties of the synthesized composite material. Using an upgraded unit for production of granules technological regimes were determined providing narrow fractional composition. It has been found that granules formed are characterized with typical microstructure of white cast iron containing perlite and ledeburite. Microhardness of pilot cast iron granules is characterized by high values (from 7450 up to 9450 MPa) and depends on the size of the fraction. Composite materials obtained using experimental granules had a microhardness of the reinforcing cast iron granules about 3500 MPa, and a bronze matrix – 1220 MPa, which is higher than the hardness of the composite material obtained by using the annealed DCL-1granules (2250 MPa). Metal base of experimental granules in the composite material has the structure of perlitic ductile iron with inclusions of ferrite not exceeding 10–15% and set around a flocculent graphite. As a result, the increase of physical-mechanical properties of finished products made of composite material is observed.

The main target of the study is to highlight, by means of numerical simulations, the advantages and possible drawbacks of using composite materials instead of the classical cast iron to equip the brake system of railway freight vehicles. The qualitative and quantitative evaluations refer mainly to the braking capacity by considering as main parameter the stopping distance, in various operational conditions. Results indicate that composite materials are more efficient in the braking process, but in the case of low speeds, the recommendation is to perform earlier and/or stronger braking actions than usual, in classical cast iron equipment on rolling stock.

The requirements for the quality and performance of the brake pads of railway rolling stock made of various materials are analyzed. The advantages of cast iron brake pads produced at foundries are shown. The disadvantages of brake pads made of composite materials based on rubber, asbestos, barite, carbon black and other components are noted. Ways to improve standards, specifications and other documentation for these products are proposed.

Determining the surface temperature of materials with unknown emissivity is studied. A method for determining the surface temperature using a standard sample of average spectral normal emissivity in the wavelength range of 1,65–1,80 μm and an industrially produced Metis M322 pyrometer operating in the same wavelength range. The surface temperature of studied samples of the composite material and platinum was determined experimentally from the temperature of a standard sample located on the studied surfaces. The relative error in determining the surface temperature of the studied materials, introduced by the proposed method, was calculated taking into account the temperatures of the platinum and the composite material, determined from the temperature of the standard sample located on the studied surfaces, and from the temperature of the studied surfaces in the absence of the standard sample. The relative errors thus obtained did not exceed 1,7 % for the composite material and 0,5% for the platinum at surface temperatures of about 973 K. It was also found that: the inaccuracy of a priori data on the emissivity of the standard sample in the range (–0,01; 0,01) relative to the average emissivity increases the relative error in determining the temperature of the composite material by 0,68 %, and the installation of a standard sample on the studied materials leads to temperature changes on the periphery of the surface not exceeding 0,47 % for composite material and 0,05 % for platinum.

Aims:: The main goals of this research are exploration of energy-efficient building materials when replacing natural materials with industrial waste and development of the theory and practice of obtaining light and ultra-light gravel materials based on mineral binders and waste dump ash and slag mixtures of hydraulic removal. Background.: Experimental data on the conditions of formation of gravel materials containing hollow aluminum and silica microsphere with opportunity of receipt of optimum structure and properties depending on humidity with the using of various binders are presented in this article. This article dwells on the scientific study of opportunity physical-mechanical properties of composite materials optimization are considered. Objective.: Composite material contains hollow aluminum and silica microsphere. Method.: The study is based on the application of the method of separation of power and heat engineering functions. The method is based on the use of the factor structure optimality, which takes into account the primary and secondary stress fields of the structural gravel material. This indicates the possibility of obtaining gravel material with the most uniform distribution of nano - and microparticles in the gravel material and the formation of stable matrices with minimization of stress concentrations. Experiments show that the thickness of the cement shell, which performs power functions, is directly related to the size of the raw granules. At the same time, the thickness of the cement crust, regardless of the type of binder, with increasing moisture content has a higher rate of formation for granules of larger diameter. Results.: The conditions for the formation of gravel composite materials containing a hollow aluminosilicate microsphere are studied. The optimal structure and properties of the gravel composite material were obtained. The dependence of the strength function on humidity and the type of binder has been investigated. The optimal size and shape of binary form of gravel material containing a hollow aluminosilicate microsphere with a minimum thickness of a cement shell and a maximum strength function was obtained. Conclusion.: Received structure allows to separate power and heat engineering functions in material and to minimize the content of the excited environment centers.
