RAILWAY AGE, JUNE 2025 ISSUE: One of the surest and most common signs that something is amiss at the wheel/rail interface is accelerated wear of the wheels, rail or both. Occasionally the solution to ...

RAILWAY AGE, JULY 2022 ISSUE: Reducing rail wear and mitigating noise in tight curves are among the benefits of lubrication and its high-tech equivalent, friction management. Suppliers are helping ...

High-speed train wheel dynamics and wear analysis is an essential field focused on understanding the mechanisms that lead to irregular wear patterns, particularly polygonal wear, on train wheels. This ...

The vast majority of trains on the planet depend on the friction (also known as adhesion traction) between steel drive wheels and steel rails to turn power into motion, but the somewhat slippery metal ...
