CONDITIONS WHICH SHOULD BE COMPLIED WITH BY WAGON COMPONENTS FOR 22 T AXLELOAD. HAULING TESTS WITH WHEELSETS OF GRADE R7 AND R8 STEEL

Two wheelsets manufactured in France from grade R7 and grade R8 steel were submitted to hauling tests over a distance of 40 km at braking powers of up to 47 kW. The deformations and temperatures measured during the tests showed that the wheelsets were suitable for being fitted to wagons for operation in railway service at 22 t axleload.
