FRETTING CORROSION AND FATIGUE STRENGTH OF WHEEL-SEAT OF CAR AXLE

This paper presents the investigations of fretting corrosion and fatigue of car axles which were obtained by using the full-scale wheel- and-axle fatigue testing machine at the Railway Technical Research Institute. Test results indicate the effect of shape and heat treatment on fatigue, both very important from the standpoint of wheelset design and maintenance. Four designs of wheel seat were tested along with three methods of heat treatment--normalizing, quench-tempering and induction hardening.
