WEARING PARTS OF ELECTRIC ROLLING STOCK

The subject of wear and tear on vehicles is considered. Focus is on two aspects; wear resulting from the work accomplished by the rolling stock and wear, particularly bogie frame wear, resulting from vibrations generated during operation. Tyre wear is also mentioned. This results in sharp flanges, deep flanges, thermal checking and flaking, and hollow treads. Each of these problems is briefly examined.
