SOME DATA ON DAMAGE TO MANGANESE STEEL CROSSING IN SERVICE

The failure of manganese steel crossings because of tranverse cracks at head and tail ends is investigated. The cracks tend to re-occur even though corrective welding has been attempted. Failure tends to occur after 100 million tons are carried, repair welding is not adequate. Suggested cause is insufficient design strength or incomplete removal of cavities in repair welds.
