The wheel/rail contact is chracterized by high contact forces and small contact areas.
Although the standard of railway wheel has sustained, the damages of railway wheel have …

The fatigue and wear characteristics of four different steel wheel materials are investigated
in detail by using rolling contact fatigue and wear bench tests on a JD-1 apparatus …

Rolling contact fatigue and wear of rails are inevitable problems for railway system due to
wheel and rail contact. Increased rail wear and increased fatigue damage such as shelling …

This paper aimed to investigate the wear properties of different wheel-rail material pairs with
various hardness values. Twin-disc wear experiments were carried out via cross-matching …

The need to improve safety and reduce costs means that new specifications are being
imposed on railway wheel wear. These mean that more durable wheel steels are required …

Wheel and rail wear is a fundamental and complicate problem in railway field. The life of
railway is usually limited by wear. The wheel surface is subjected to high normal and …

The wear and rolling contact fatigue of wheel-rail materials were investigated through
varying wheel/rail hardness ratios (H w/H r) and creepages. The results indicated that with …

Wheel and rail wear is a fundamental and complicate problem in railway field. The life of
railway is usually limited by wear. The wheel surface is subjected to high normal and …

In actual wheel–rail systems, a nonuniform microstructure of the wheel and rail materials is a
serious problem. A double-disk rolling wear test device was used to study the influence of …

Wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) damages directly affect the maintenance cost and
service safety of railway wheel. Working in the open environment, the wheel material would …
