INVESTIGATION OF THE FORMATION OF CORRUGATIONS IN RAILS ON SELECTED TEST TRACKS UNDER CONDITIONS OF ORDINARY TRAFFIC

This is an evaluation of a large amount of data collected on two tracks since 1951 and 1958, respectively. Emphasis was on determining the behavior of different steels as a function of composition, melting practice, and treatment after rolling. Examples of findings are that increasing tensile strength and nitrogen content increase corrugations, increasing Mn and Si decrease the defect.
