Purpose of the development: Ukrainian scientists have developed a unique setting that allows the laboratory to reproduce the effects of exposure to virtually all the factors on the rails and wheel sets (temperature, humidity, level of operating activity, the current path if electrified)

Recommended application field: Traffic safety of railway transport

Advantages over analogues: The ability to conduct experimental load on the rails and wheel sets in the laboratory. Until now, only a few test sites exist with paved rails in the world.

The development stage readiness: Pre-production model is made

Description of the development:
()
During the pilot loading of the objects is realized power circuit, which corresponds to the movement of rolling stock on a straight-line portion of the path, on the curved portion of the path, simulated conditions of rolling stock braking or the beginning of his path. It is envisaged that in the contact zone can act humidity, over a wide temperature range (from - 50 ° C to + 50 ° C), the aggressive environment, as well as through the nip during the experiment electrical current is passed. Examine the real part of the rails and wheels. The changes taking place in them, fix the special equipment. After analyzing the data, obtained regularities of the influence of each factor, as well as assess the resource and durable products. Regulatory requirements for the wheels and rails in Ukraine and abroad set for the materials from which they are made, and that the respective steel grades. However, the same materials may behave differently, so researchers believe their research has great prospects, if the producers and transporters are interested in security, and it carries and the corresponding economic benefits. Based on the results of the tests scientists develop recommendations, taking into account that adjustments can be made in the production of rails and wheels.
