THE IMPACT OF WATER UPON THE WEAR OF RAILWAY RAILS IN SELECTED SERVICE CONDITIONS

Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2019, Vol 284, Issue 2

Abstract

The article presents, in a complex way, the impact of most essential operational factors upon tribological properties such as the wear and the friction coefficient being the main causes of fatigue contact wear in the rolling-sliding contact both in the presence and absence of water. Operational curves have been developed to predict the character and intensity of the wear in various operational conditions. This seems crucial for the improvement of the safety of rail vehicles.<br/><br/>
