The article presents various aspects of the analysis of the state of stress in carbon block induced by the effect of temperature when a steel pin is connected to the block by pouring a shaped groove with cast iron. Changes in the temperature and state of stress in the block were examined by FEM (Abaqus program). The numerical model was validated by experimental measurements of pin deflection during pouring of the groove with cast iron.
