Hector Rail AB is a Swedish line haul provider for the European Rail Transport Market. On one of their lines, Hector Rail transports large cylinder-shaped paper rolls of different sizes from Holmsund to Skövde, and compressed recycled paper back to Holmsund, with Y25 bogie wagons. The wheels of these wagons experience surface initiated rolling contact fatigue, RCF, which is increasing the maintenance cost. In a collaboration with KTH Royal Institute of Technology a study of the risk of developing RCF cracks when comparing different track qualities, load cases, speeds, curves and wheel-rail friction coefficients as well as the consideration of wear is carried out. The difference in surface initiated RCF when applying the different input para...
