FACTORS INFLUENCING THE FRICTIONAL AND WEAR BEHAVIOUR OF THE WHEEL/RAIL SYSTEM

EINFLUSSFAKTOREN AUF DAS REIBUNGS-UND VERSCHLEISSVERHALTEN DES RAD/SCHIENE-SYSTEMS

The proposed ultrarapid rail traffic calls for new wheel and rail materials. Mention is made of laboratory tests on the friction and wear characteristics of new material combinations. A comparison with data obtained in actual service proves that the tests are useful. This is followed by a discussion of the more recent findings on the behaviour of material combinations in respect of strength and structure when subjected to rolling friction.
