Influence of Surface Roughness of Rail formed by Rail Grinding on Rolling Contact Fatigue

Last updated on 13 September 2013 10:37

Based on stress analysis that indicated that surface roughness causes higher contact pressure on contact surfaces, a query arises that initial surface roughness formed by rail grinding may promote the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) of rail. In order to clarify the initial surface roughness if it has an adverse effect...
