WELDING PROBLEMS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW ARTICULATED TRAINS FOR THE SUSPENDED OVERHEAD RAILWAY IN WUPPERTAL

CHWEISSTECHNISCHE PROBLEME BEIM BAU DER NEUEN GELENKZUEGE FUER DIE WUPPERTALER SCHWEBEBAHN

An outline is given of the problems to be considered in comparison with welding of conventional railway cars when in a suspended overhead railway, a rotating trolley provides the connection between the load carrying rail and the suspended carriage and, as a result, the car roof becomes the load carrying part of the carriage box while the floor provides the lower closure and only takes the vertical loads. Welding of the floor plating, the outriggers, and the rotating trolley are discussed. AlZnMg 1 F 36 and AlMgMn F 26 are used in the cars and steel St52-3 in the trolley.
