The formation of White (WEL) and Brown Etching Layers (BEL) on rail raceways during
service causes the initiation of microcracks which finally leads to failure. Detailed …

This paper attempts to study the microstructural stress-strain evolution and strain localization
in the ferrite-pearlite steel by high-resolution experimental-numerical integrated testing …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the microstructure and
the wear characteristic of rail materials. Different rail materials with different austenite grain …

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction was applied to study the evolution of lattice strain and stresses
in both phases of pearlitic steel during a tensile test. The advantage of the methodology …

This article deals with the relationship between the microstructure and both strength and
ductility in eutectoid pearlitic steel. It is seen how standard mechanical properties and …

The demand for higher speeds and heavier loads has emphasized the necessity to tackle
the inherent trade-off between strength and toughness in pearlitic rail steels. Herein, the co …

Abstract Robust Si 3 N 4/Ti joints with Nb interlayer brazed using 68.8 Ag26. 7Cu4. 5Ti
(mass%) filler alloy (TICUSIL®) were developed. Interfacial microstructural evolution and …

The aim of this research is a systematic investigation of heat treatments of 60E1 profile rails
made of steel R350HT, which would ensure the properties required by the standard EN …

The application of Nb microalloying to high-carbon pearlite bridge cable wire rod steel has
always been controversial, especially in the actual production process, which will be …

Rail transportation has been one of the most efficient and sustainable means of mobility with
large economic value. The rail wheel flange steers on the rail track for motion with imparts of …
