Economic effectiveness of railway wheel profile restoration

V.V. Matveev

Viltrans, Ltd., Kiev, Ukraine

Abstract
Quantitative evaluation of the influence of various factors on the effectiveness of wheel profile restoration by cladding, and, in particular, after annealing of the rolling surface hardened in operation. Effectiveness of wheel profile restoration is increased by applying annealing of the rolling surface, multi-electrode cladding and heat treatment of the clad and turned wheels
Keywords: effectiveness, restoration, railway wheels, rolling surface defects, HF current annealing, multi-electrode cladding
