About this document
Railway Wheel Surface Deformation Study by SofiaCarvalho is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the plastic deformation and softening of the surface layer of worn railway wheels using SEM and optical microscopy. It finds that severe plastic deformation occurs near the contact surface, leading to micro-hardness changes and crack initiation primarily in pro-eutectoid ferrite zones. The research highlights the interplay between temperature, deformation, and microstructural changes, emphasizing the implications for wheel performance and maintenance.
