Abstract
The paper presents the results obtained from the simulation of the casting and solidification process of the phosphorous cast iron brake blocks intended for rolling stock. The simulation of the casting and solidification process was carried out using the SolidWorks and Altair inspire cast programs. A S1 type brake shoe was chosen for this process. The solidification of phosphorous cast iron brake blocks is influenced by a number of constructive and technological factors. The simulation allows analysis of technological characteristics of casting and solidification of the alloy. The solidification process influences the micro and macrostructure of the parts, their compactness, mechanical strength, dimensional accuracy and surface quality.
