Abstract
The possibility of making welded freight bogie bolsters to compete with traditional cast ones is considered. It is shown that making of a welded structure, for which the cyclic load plays a decisive role, requires an integrated approach based on development of optimal designs of units and manufacturing technologies
Keywords: welding, welded joints, bolster, fatigue life, stress-strain state, stress concentration, oxidising shielding gases, welding parameters, heat input, mechanical properties, microstructure, non-metallic inclusions, acicular ferrite
