To assess the wear behavior of rails against subway rail car wheels, we investigate the sliding wear behavior of pins derived from two types of rails (normal rails and heat-treated rails) against a disc derived from a subway rail car wheel, using a pin-on-disc-type tribometer. We base the sliding wear test conditions on the sliding conditions for wheel flange-rail gauge corner contact. We demonstrate the remarkable transition in the wear behavior of the pins derived from the rails, from severe wear to mild wear, as a function of the sliding distance. The wear rate of the heat-treated rail material in the running-in wear region is much lower than that of the normal rail material. Furthermore, the wear rates of the pins in the running-in wear region decrease with increasing hardness and with decreasing sliding speed. However, there is little difference between the heat-treated rail pin and the normal rail pin in the wear rate in the steady-state wear region. Stricter controls on the decarburized layer beneath the surface of rails are required to reduce the wear rate in the running-in wear region.

도시철도에서 지하 터널의 미세먼지는 여러 가지 요인에 의하여 발생하고 있다. 도시철도 미세먼지 발생량을 예측하기 위하여 여러 가지 발생요인 중 레일 마모량 분석에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. S호선 구간(약 45km)에서 1년 6개월 간 레일마모측정장치에서 측정된 레일 마모 데이터를 곡선반경(R)의 변화에 따라 약 170개 구간으로 구분하였으며, 레일 마모 측정값 중에서 직마모량(C0)와 편마모(V0)량을 이용하여 곡선반경에 따른 레일 마모량 관계를 분석하고, 직선구간과 곡선구간에서 각각 구간평균 편 직마모량과 노선평균 편 직마모량을 산출하였다. 레일 마모량과 레일 단면적의 상관관계를 분석하여 단면적에 대한 근사식을 구하고, 레일 C0와 V0의 변화량을 이용하여 레일 마모에 의한 미세먼지 발생량을 산정하였다.

Rolling contact fatigue and wear on rails are inevitable in railway operations due to excessive wheel-rail contact stress. The wear is influenced by vehicle speed, contact pressure, environmental conditions, and many other factors. Speeding on a curved track causes many problems such as wear on the gauge of the rail and rolling contact fatigue. Managing environmental conditions can reduce problems on the wheel and rail interface. In this study, the wear characteristics of wheel and rail materials were investigated by twin-disc testing using various parameters. The results of the wear test indicated that the wear rate under dry conditions was larger than that under wet conditions. We found that contact fatigue damage occurred on the rail in dry conditions, however, the surface of the specimen under water remained smooth. Also, the friction coefficient in dry conditions was larger than in wet conditions.

In this paper, thermite and gas pressure weldings have been used to join rails in-track and analyzed as functions of hardness and wear characteristics. The wear rate of thermite welded rail is low compared with that of gas pressure welded rail, which is tested in a pin-on-disk wear tester. The hardness of thermite welded materials is relatively high and narrowly distributed between three zones; welded part, thermally affected zone, and base matrix. Wear of a welded rail may be a major factor in railroad maintenance costs and failures at the rail-rail huh joint.

Door guide rail is the core part which guides window when it moves up and down. But when the method of grease lubrication in the core has been used for a long times, its lubrication performance has been weakened. Therefore the method of the solid lubrication such as teflon(PTFE) coating in the rail has been studied to be increased the performance in these days. In this study the friction wear characteristic the surface with teflon coating of door guide rail for automobile has been researched. In 1, 20 Hz frequency friction wear tests the friction coefficient are below 0.188 and 0.213. In indicate test the wear depth is very slight. Therefore the durability to the friction wear in the surface with teflon coating of door guide rail is good. In addition to, the result of this study can make efficient use to a basic study to develop method of test evaluation to door guide rail surface grade. Especially this study will contribute to improve the quality of automobile parts.

일반적인 철도에서는 차륜과 레일의 마찰력을 이용하여 열차가 주행하게 된다. 차륜과 레일 사이에는 접촉압력이 발생하게 되고, 차량의 중량, 속도, 사행동, 접촉점 등에 따라 접촉압력의 크기가 변화하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 곡선부 차륜/레일에 대한 유한요소해석을 통해 접촉특성을 분석하였으며, 구름접촉피로시험을 통해 접촉압력에 따른 차륜/레일의 피로손상 및 마모율을 분석하였다. 구름접촉피로시험결과, 일반 및 열처리레일은 차륜에 비해 마모율이 높았으며, 일반 및 열처리레일마모율은 일정한 반복횟수 이상에서 급격히 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 일반레일이 열처리레일 보다 약 7~15% 마모율이 높았으며, 접촉압력 900~1,500MPa 범위에서 접촉압력에 따른 레일마모율에 대한 회귀분석식을 제시하였다.

In this paper, the hardness and wear characteristics of the head hardened rail, which is made by thermite and gas pressure weldings have been presented. In general, the wear rate of the gas pressure welded rail is high and uniform compared with that of thermite welded rail. The results indicate that HH 370 welded rail shows stable in hardness and low wear rate compared with other two welded rails. The hardness of head hardened rails shows uniformly distributed along the welded zone, thermally affected zone and a base matrix.

The goal of this Paper is to reduce rail's wear in curved track by applying an additional surface layer material(High hardness and High resistance capacity of wear) on the top of the railhead. In order to evaluate appropriation of a coating material, experimental tests such as the varieties of fundamental properties tests (hardening, wear, tensile, and bending) and RCF(rolling contact fatigue)test were performed to establish fatigue wear and damage mechanism. As a result, wear performance of coating rail is better than heated rail about 6times and normal rail about 8~9times.

Before the complete construction of new high-speed line between Seoul and Pusan, KTX is going to operate on both new high-speed line between Seoul and Daegu and electrified conventional lines between Daegu and Pusan. Then, the wheels of KTX are going to operate on various rails such as KS50N and KS60 of conventional line as well as UIC60 of high-speed line. Also, conventional line will have a mixed traffic mode with various types of trains operating on it, such as Saemaul and Mugunghwa. Hence, this study reviews the wear phenomena of wheels and rails in geometrical point of view by comparing their profiles. The analyses of the results show that because UIC60 rail is designed for KTX, KS50N rail whose profile is similar to that of UIC60 will not have any impact on the shape of wheel wear. On the other hand, KS60 rail is expected to have partial wear on both the flange of KTX wheel and the gauge corner of the rail in the initial stages. However, the operation of the trains whose wheels have 1/20 conicity will cause partial sidewear on the inside of the rail and the movement of the contact point between KTX wheel and the rail toward the inside of the track. As a result, the flange wear of KTX wheel will be reduced and the formation of wear-equilibrium profile will be faster.
