1. Influence of thermal loading on mechanical properties of railway wheel steels
Sammanfattning : Material integrity and properties of wheels are critical in railway traffic, as wheels fulfil the important function of transferring load and traction from the vehicle to the rail track. Steels with a pearlitic microstructure are commonly used for wheels due to their height strength, low cost and good wear properties. LÄS MER
2. Influence of combined thermal and mechanical loadings on pearlitic steel microstructure in railway wheels and rails
Sammanfattning : One of the most important aspects in railway operation is the interaction between rail and wheel. The contact patch between these two components is around the size of a small coin, and since high loads act on this small area, stresses will give rise to wear and damage in both components. LÄS MER
3. Effect of Temperature on Mechanical Properties of Railway Wheel Steels
Sammanfattning : One of the most important aspects in railway operation is the interaction between rail and wheel. The contact conditions give rise to wear and damage in both components. Medium carbon steels are used in these components due to their combination of high strength and good wear properties in relation to cost. LÄS MER
4. Thermo-Mechanical-Metallurgical Modelling of Pearlitic Steels and Railhead Repair Welding
Sammanfattning : The efficiency of rail transport is attributed to low rolling resistance, which comes at the cost of high contact pressures between rail and wheel. Consequently, both the rail and wheel can be susceptible to fatigue crack initiation and propagation due to the resulting high stresses and large number of load cycles in service. LÄS MER
5. Railway wheel steel behaviour upon thermo-mechanical loadings
Sammanfattning : Optimised railway maintenance techniques such as rail grinding and milling, or rail repair welding, are vital to more sustainable rail networks. As demands on the railway increases, the need to better understand the material behaviour during local heating events occurring during maintenance is amplified. LÄS MER
