Research was performed and flux-cored wire of PP-AN180MN/98 grade was developed for restoration surfacing of worn areas of advanced higher-strength railway wheels. A set of physicomechanical properties of the deposited metal was determined. It is found that at application of PP-AN180MN/98 wire for surfacing higher-strength wheels, irrespective of preheating temperature and number of deposited layers, deposited metal hardness is optimum (0.94–1.0 of rail hardness). Here, a comparatively homogeneous bainite-martensite structure forms in all the joint areas (in the deposited metal, fusion zone and overheating area of HAZ metal). The deposited metal features a high level of resistance to brittle fracture and wear at sliding friction in contact with rail steel. Obtained research results lead to the conclusion that at application of flux-cored wire PP-AN180MN/98 for surfacing, the restored wheels will have a high reliability, and traffic safety will be ensured under the conditions of increasing operating loads. 17 Ref., 5 Tables, 4 Figures.
