Mapping railway wheel material wear mechanisms and transitions

Last updated on 29 August 2014 4:48

In order to develop more durable wheel materials to cope with the new specifications being imposed on wheel wear, a greater understanding of the wear mechanisms and transitions occurring in wheel steels is needed, particularly at higher load and slip conditions. The aim of this work was to draw...
