Development of friction moderating system to improve wheel/rail interface in sharp curves

Last updated on 12 April 2013 3:44

Lubrication on sharp curves has been commonly adopted as a method of reducing friction between the wheel flange and rail gauge face to minimize wear and energy consumption. Additionally, lubrication between the running surface of the low-rail and the wheel tread has recently been recognized as a significant factor in...
