Abstract

The wheelset, an assembly of wheel and axle, is one of important parts in railway bogie, directly related with the running safety of railway rolling stock. In this investigation, the tensile failure behavior of railway axle materials was investigated. The tensile coupons were prepared from the actual rolling stock parts, which were operated over 20 years. The tensile testing was performed according to the KS guideline. During tensile testing, an infrared camera was employed to monitor temperature changes in specimen as well as demonstrate temperature contour in terms of infrared thermographic images. The thermographic images of tensile specimens showed comparable results with mechanical behavior of tensile materials. In this paper, the failure mode and behavior of railway axle materials were provided with the aid of infrared thermography technique.

차축과 차륜으로 구성되는 철도차량 윤축은 차량의 운행과 관련하여 안전과 직결되는 중요한 철도 부품의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 철도차량의 차축 재료의 인장파괴거동에 대한 특성을 분석하였다. 20년 이상 운행된 전기기관차 및 디젤전기기관차의 차축 시편에 대하여 연장시험을 수행하였다. 인장시험 동안 시편의 파괴특성을 모니터링하기 위해 고속 적외선카메라가 사용되었는데, 인장시험 동안의 시편 표변의 온도 변화를 모니터링하여 온도 분포로부터 인장파괴거동을 설명하고 파괴모드를 규명하고자 하였다.
