Add to ORKGLubrication at wheel flange and rails on sharp curves is considered as an effective solution for reducing wear loss of material from effective cross-section of rail and wheels. Rail administrations around the world have been increasing axleloads and traffic densities in rail networks. This has led to traffic initiated wear, fatigue initiated surface cracks and railbreaks. Limited research has been carried out on the overall impact of combining lubrication strategies and rail grinding.This paper presents a model for lubrication strategy and rail-grinding interval to reduce wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF). Data from rail industry is collected and used for numerical illustration
