CONTACT PRESSURE BETWEEN WHEEL AND RAIL AND ITS INFLUENCES ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF RAIL STEEL

Since it was felt that there was still some uncertainty regarding various investigations on the very high contact pressure between wheel and rail and in relation to failures occurred in the heads of rails. It was decided to obtain additional data on the phenomena. This article addresses the following: contact pressure between rail and wheel, plastic deformation of rail steel due to local compression hardness distribution under running surfaces of used rail, and workbrittleness of rail steel.
