[QUOTE="billy_joule, post: 5492184, member: 515386"] Calculate for both then whichever is lower is the limiting torque value and cannot be exceeded. This can be shown by doing a free body diagram of each section of the shaft - one for the steel part, one for the brass. It's analogous to tying ropes or strings together - you can only apply as much tension as the weakest rope can take. eg a bit of cotton thread can only support a kg or two, it doesn't matter if it's tied to a bit of fishing line or some carbon nanotube, the cotton still breaks at it's normal load.
