| Abstract | An age-old debate amongst railway practitioners has revolved around the potential effects of increased wheel and/or rail steel hardness on corresponding wear rates. In specific, whether raising the hardness of one partner in the wheel-rail system will have a deleterious impact on the wear rate of the other. This paper addresses this question based on an literature review, as well as a survey that was sent to railway practitioners around the world. The key findings (perceptions) are discussed, and it is shown that in some cases these intuitive perceptions do not reflect the actual rail-wheel system behaviour. |
