摘要
Management of wheel-rail contact is of great importance for railways. It is essential to understand the tribology of railway materials to maximize productivity and reduce maintenance. Many studies on wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) were performed, ranging from field and full-scale experiments to small-scale tests, such as twindisc. However, comparison between results found in these distinct approaches are few. Thus, RCF damage was compared between twin-disc specimens and wheels removed from field operation. Some aspects of RCF were remarkably similar, such as plastically deformed layer thickness, microhardness, crack angle and material delamination. However, cracks depth and length were 10-15 times larger in wheels. Finally, laboratory tests hardly simulate RCF in advanced stages and relevant environmental effects.
