RAIL ROAD WHEEL: DESIGN, PERFORMANCE AND MANUFACTURING ASPECTS
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Railroad wheels do the toughest job. Design of wheel web and material used are the most important. Online performance specifies the material properties required. Wheel manufacturing process using upward pressure poured casting and the quality assurance system, which makes it reliable has been explained. Initially these wheels were used for freight stock only and subsequently based on their reliable performance, they are also used on locomotives and coaching stock.
