Abstract
Steel wheels are facing the problem of plastic deformation and wear during their operation. Wheel wear within the flange and tread regions can affect the dynamics of rail vehicles. A number of methods are commonly employed to decrease the wear rate within both the flange and the tread regions of wheels. This paper focuses on the running-in period, and on a procedure for Bogie Direction Reversal 1 (BDR) to indicate the importance of operational aspect on the dynamics improvement of wheelset behaviour, and hence, vehicle safety and stability. Test results of eight wheels in a case study have been presented and analysed.
