Fatigue properties of 14mn rail steel (E-617)

Last updated on 06 December 2013 11:37

Fatigue tests have been carried out on rail specimens and it has been demonstrated that fatigue properties of the bulk material are similar to those of rail manufactured to B.S.11. However, it is shown that the fatigue strength is drastically reduced by drilling. Methods of improving the fatigue resistance are...
