Two-material rail development to prevent rolling contact fatigue and to reduce noise levels in curved rail track

Last updated on 27 September 2013 3:03

Results from the European 5th frame research project "INFRA-STAR" are presented. The goal of the project is to prevent rolling contact fatigue (RCF) and to reduce squeal noise in curves by applying an additional surface layer material on the top of the railhead, resulting in a two-material rail.
