Wear-resistant railway wheel rim profile

Purpose:

For use in existing or prospective freight cars with constant contact skates, for operating conditions on the railways of Ukraine, the CIS countries and the Baltic States with a gauge of 1520 mm.

Area:

Railway transport.

Advantages:

The increase in the resource of a wheel with the proposed rim profile (in terms of flange wear) compared to a wheel with a standard profile (GOST 9036-88) by 4–5 times, which significantly reduces the intensity of contact surface wear, increases the resource of wheels for regrinding (in terms of flange wear) up to 3 -400 thousand km.

Description:

Using a profile allows you to increase the size of the contact patches and ensure conformal contact of the wheel with the rack.
