  3. Abstract:
  4. In the present article, the cure process of the railroad composite friction materials in the compression molding process is studied. Numerical simulation is used to analyze the process and a series of parametric studies are performed to reveal the effect of process parameters and material variables. The results show that the cure process and also the braking performance are governed by the thermophysical properties of the friction compound formulation, which are in tum dominated by the compound ingredients. It is suggested that such information can be used in designing of compound formulation to achieve a friction material with good frictional and processing properties
