The Influence of Wheel/Rail Contact Conditions on the Microstructure and Hardness of Railway Wheels

The susceptibility of railway wheels to wear and rolling contact fatigue damage is influenced by the properties of the wheel material. These are influenced by the steel composition, wheel manufacturing process, and thermal and mechanical loading during operation. The in-service properties therefore...
