FATIGUE-WEAR TESTING OF RAILS UNDER ROLLING LOAD

The fatigue-wear endurance model tests conducted on surface hardened and untreated low-carbon rails, as well as the test results, are presented. Both the wear and fatigue load resistance of the surface hardened rails surmounted those of the untreated rails.
