RAIL METALLURGY AND CAUSES OF DETERIORATION

SINANYAGOK ES TON KREMENETELUK FOBB OKAI

During development of high-speed lines, Railways noticed that rail deterioration was increasing at a rapid rate. The authors give details of the manufacture of high-resistance steel rails. Test results show that non-alloyed carbon steel provides better resistance to wear and has higher fatigue threshold than alloyed steel.
