POSSIBILITIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF RAILS FOR A HEAVY DUTY RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM

MOGLICHKEITEN DER SCHIENENENTWICKLUNG FUR EINEN HOCHLEISTUNGSSCHNELLVERKEHR

A heavy-duty rapid transit system imposes additional requirements on rails. The possibilities of developing air-hardened rail steels are discussed from the material point of view. The results obtained from tests conducted with company-manufactured rails of pearlitic steels, transformed steels, and low-carbon steels are disclosed.
