...Abstract Abstract Because of the tough engineering environment of the railroad industry, fatigue is a primary mode of failure. The increased competitiveness in the industry has led to increased loads, reducing the safety factor with respect to fatigue life. Therefore, the existence of corrosion...

Quality descriptors for hot-rolled alloy steel bars are related to suitability for specific applications...
... of rail coatings, including their history, function, application, and selection. NACE reports—railcar industry Railroad equipment, like any other steel equipment, must be protected from the elements and from contact with substances that will degrade it. Over the years, protective coatings used...
... the application of microprocessor and computer technology to ring rolling equipment. A variety of special-purpose machines have also been built at various times in the past 100 years. Both vertical and horizontal railroad wheel rolling mills have existed since around 1900. For a time, pressure cast wheels...
