FLAME HARDENING OF TYRE FLANGE

Flange wear is critical as a thin flange leads to excessive removal of tread metal in restoring the profile and hence to a relatively short wheel life. The reduction of flange wear is of great economic importance. The principal methods of reducing flange wear are to harden the flange surface by flame hardening and to reduce the friction between wheel and rail by oil lubrication.
