title = "Characterising the brake blocks of a freight rail container wagon",
abstract = "Society has become dependent on trains to provide the means for freight and transport services and with so many people being dependent on these services safety must be taken as the utmost priority. The aim of this research project is to characterise the Brake block samples of a Freight Rail container wagon using tribological properties for the effect of friction and wear, hardness tests to investigate the mechanical property and microstructure analysis and material composition in different environmental conditions using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS.",
