SHELLY RAIL STUDIES AT THE AAR RESEARCH CENTER

Rolling-load test results obtained in a cradle-type machine are listed. Macrographs are presented to reveal cross-sectional qualities of shelly rail. Slow-bend test results are tabulated for flame and induction-hardened rail. It can be noted that all of the rails tested showed excellent results and that no effective stresses were set up between the head and web due to flame and induction hardening.
