In tread braking of freight cars, braking force is produced by the friction between the wheel and the braking shoe. Friction coefficients such as the brake power, weight variation and brake shoe types should be sensitively treated as the design parameters. The conditions of the car, empty and weighted, should also be taken into consideration in brake force design and the control of brake force has some limitations in terms of the brake system design so that the brake materials selection should be considered as important measures to solve that difficulties. Friction characteristics of brake materials should remain within the range of maximum and minimum value and the friction performance should remain stable regardless of braking time and temperature. This study presented an experimental evaluation method to secure optimum braking performance by keeping safe braking effect and braking distance by the friction coefficient of the brake shoe of the freight cars.

In the braking of a railroad car, mechanical brake systems using wheel tread and brake disk are applied as well as electrical brake systems by regenerator and rheostat. It is very important to consider the frictional characteristic because kinetic energy of the vehicle is dissipated as converted thermal energy through friction between disk and brake pad during disk braking. A friction coefficient and wear characteristic are decided from the interrelationship of disk and friction material in the disk brake system. Lab-scale dynamometer test on developed brake disk materials for increasing heat resistance was performed in this study. Each candidate material was tested at various braking speeds and pressures and we obtained the friction coefficient and wear characteristic. And we executed comparative evaluation of the result from the test.

철도차량의 제동에는 전기의 회생, 발전을 이용하는 전기적 제동장치와 함께 차륜 답면 및 디스크를 사용하는 기계식 제동장치가 적용된다. 특히 브레이크 디스크의 제동작용에 있어서, 디스크와 마찰패드와의 마찰을 통해 차량의 운동에너지가 열에너지로 변환되며 이때 디스크 표면에는 매우 높은 온도가 집중하게 된다. 이러한 고온 집중의 반복에 의해 디스크 표면에는 열피로에 기인한 열균열이 발생하게 된다. 발생된 열균열은 차량 유지보수성능을 저하시키고 최악의 경우 대규모의 사고를 유발할 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 보다 높은 내열성을 갖는 브레이크 디스크 소재를 개발하기 위한 과정의 일환으로 재료의 내열성 비교시험절차를 구축하였다. 또한 현재 새마을호 및 무궁화호 열차에서 사용되는 브레이크 디스크 재질을 이용한 시험을 통해 시험 절차의 효용성을 확인하였다.
