The rail specimen was a half of a rail head from a new U75V rail with the length of 800 mm, or a rectangular sample with the width of 10 mm and the length of 800 mm. Thus, the surface scratches, plastic deformation and cracks in grinding chips were derived from the grinding process. There are many types of grinding wheels used in the field in terms of the …

Rail grinding equals quiet travelling. With Plasser & Theurer's newly developed rail grinding machine for light rail and trams, rail traffic is easy on the ears: trains travel more quietly on ground rails. The world's first ATMO (Automatic Track Machine Oscillator) was developed as part of Shift2Rail and combines two working methods.

Accident involving a rail grinding train. The Dutch Safety Board has investigated the train accident in Stavoren that took place late in the evening on Sunday 25 July 2010. Upon arrival at the final destination of Stavoren station, a SPENO rail grinder, which had been commissioned by ProRail for rail grinding work on the track, drove through ...

Article information Abstract Rail grinding is a key maintenance activity for Network Rail. It is performed at night through possession of the track, so process speed is critical. Increasing the metal removal rate (MRR) of the rail grinding operations would be a way to improve the time taken for this operation.

1. Introduction. The rail surface damages such as corrugation, squats, fatigue cracks, and spalling usually occurred after a period of wheel/rail contact [,,,, ].These surface damages might decrease the service life of rails and increase the vibration of running trains [].Since the 1980s, rail grinding technology has been applied to the rail maintenance works …

Modern rail grinding practices have developed largely through a combination of field experience and intuitive speculation. Many theories related to crack initiation and growth have been proposed through the decades, and those concepts have been cleverly extended to the field of rail grinding to form the basis of the practice known as 'preventive grinding'.

A NEW fleet of three state-of-the art rail grinding machines has been unveiled by Network Rail. The machines will deal more effectively with containing the problem of rolling contact fatigue (RCF), which is the formation of cracks in the rail head that can lead to breaks in the rail itself if not treated in good time.

Nowadays, applying rail grinding has been worldwide recognized as the routine maintenance approach to improving the wheel-rail relationship, as well as extending the rail's serving life. However, the traditional rail repair technology with the abrasive wheel or the milling cutter is getting harder to meet the increasing demand for high efficiency with high speed.

A grind rail is an object used by skateboarders to do skateboarding tricks on such as grinds and slides. It is usually square or round. There are two types of rails: Handrail, a normal handrail on the sides (or the middle) of a stair. Flatbar, a rail that is not kinked and is on the ground, not on any stairs or ramps.

• Key role of grinding is to control and remove rail surface defects – Grinding templates and patterns to address class of defects • NOT ALL DEFECTS HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY REMOVED • Important to know when to stop grinding – Do not want to grind away all of the work hardened rail head – Grinding on a regular cycle allows for long term defect control

A three-dimensional finite element model of rail grinding was established to explore the effects of grinding passes and grinding direction on the material removal behaviour of grinding rails during the grinding process. The results indicate that as the number of grinding passes increases, a decrease in the grinding force reduces both the amount of removed rail …
