Track wear tests of bainitic and pearlitic rails: J6 steel, an alloy for manufacture and service, is showing good and unexpected performance results. (TTCI R&D).

Railway Track and Structures | April 1, 2002| | Copyright

The foresight of railroads, researchers and manufacturers in the 1990s to the likely approaching limitations in pearlitic rail steel development led to a comprehensive study to produce alternative rail steel microstructures that would surpass the ultimate performance capabilities of pearlitic steel.

From this research, conducted by Transportation Technology Center, Inc., a single promising alloy was chosen for rail manufacture and service evaluation. This particular steel, referred to as J6, gave the best laboratory results, and is now showing good--and ...
