  • Published:
Steel in Translation Aims and scope

Abstract

The problems of fatigue-corrosion wear of railway wheels during long-term operation are discussed. The features of corrosion damage formation in the elements of railway wheels with different structure and stress state have been studied. Railway wheel parts most susceptible with respect to corrosion are revealed. Corrosion damage effect exerted on the formation of defects in railway wheels is demonstrated. The effect of aggressive media on the mechanical properties of wheel steel has been studied.
