THE INFLUENCE OF SOLID LUBRICANTS USED FOR THE LUBRICATION OF WHEEL FLANGES ON RAILWAYS TO REDUCE THE CORROSION OF RAILS

Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2016, Vol 268, Issue 4

Abstract

The paper presents the influence of selected solid lubricants used for the lubrication of wheel flanges of railways on the formation and development of corrosion. Tested solid lubricants consisted primarily of graphite, molybdenum disulphide, and soybean oil additives. Moreover, grease sticks were selected to make it possible to compare and evaluate their suitability in applying the lubrication of railway wheels. The study is based on the European standard that allows the determination of wear in the test samples to determine the advantages in relation to the processes of corrosion.<br/><br/>
