SHELLY RAIL INVESTIGATION--RESULTS OF ROLLING-LOAD AND SLOW-BEND TESTS

Addition of alloying elements and heat treating rail are used to improved the shelling resistance. Cradle-type rolling-load tests are conducted by the AAR to evaluate these methods. Rolling-load test results obtained from these cradle-type machines for the period between October 1, 1967 and September 30, 1968 are shown.
