Abstract:This paper examines the effects of inoculant type and treatment material quantity on the mechanical and thermal properties of rail vehicle brake discs manufactured from vermicular graphite cast iron/compacted graphite iron (CGI). The in-mold treatment technique was employed in manufacturing the CGI brake discs. The main and interaction effects of inoculant type and treatment material quantity parameters affecting the tensile strength of the CGI brake discs were determined. The results indicate that treatment m… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
