2. 1. Thermal and mechanical behaviour of railway wheel steel

   Author : Johan Ahlström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phase transformations; plastic deformation; sliding contact; heat conduction modelling; low cycle fatigue; railway wheel steel Fe-0.5C-0.3Si-0.75Mn-0.05V ; austenitisation; transformation kinetics; heat treatment; friction;

   Abstract : The wish to increase loads and speeds of trains puts higher demand on construc¬tion, engineering and material than ever before. Therefore it is necessary to con¬tinuously develop technology to meet these increasing requirements. READ MORE

4. 2. Influence of thermal loading on mechanical properties of railway wheel steels

   Author : Krste Cvetkovski; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; contact creep.; rolling contact fatigue; martensite tempering; shear deformation; Railway wheel steels; heat treatment; residual stress; rapid heating; low cycle fatigue;

   Abstract : Material integrity and properties of wheels are critical in railway traffic, as wheels fulfil the important function of transferring load and traction from the vehicle to the rail track. Steels with a pearlitic microstructure are commonly used for wheels due to their height strength, low cost and good wear properties. READ MORE

5. 3. Tread Braking of Railway Wheels - Noise-related Tread Roughness and Dimensioning Wheel Temperatures

   Author : Tore V Vernersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rail chill; block material; temperature; heat partitioning; railway; corrugation; thermoelastic analysis; tread braking; noise;

   Abstract : Block braking is a commonly used braking system for freight wagons and other types of railway vehicles. One or several brake blocks are pressed against the tread (running surface) of the wheel, which is also in rolling contact with the rail. READ MORE

6. 4. Development of Multi-grit cBN Grinding Wheel for Crankshaft Grinding

   Author : Nastja Macerol; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; crankshaft; grinding; wear; grit concentration; grit toughness; grinding wheels; grit size; automotive; grit shape; cubic Boron Nitride;

   Abstract : A crankpin, part of a crankshaft, has a complex profile that is difficult to grind. The process often causes challenges such as excessive heat on the crankpin sidewall and wheel wear on the radius, causing reduced dressing interval. Different solutions were proposed to overcome these challenges, mainly focusing on the process, i.e. READ MORE

7. 5. Railway tread braking temperatures - Numerical simulation and experimental studies

   Author : Shahab Teimourimanesh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; railway tread braking; finite element analysis; railway wheels; rail chill; hot spots; frictional heating; heat partitioning; metro; field experiment; rig experiment;

   Abstract : Tread (block) braking is still one of the most common braking systems on railway vehicles. The action is carried out by pressing brake blocks against the tread of a wheel, which is also in rolling contact with the rail. READ MORE
