A. Pyzalla et al., Changes in microstructure, texture and residual stresses on the surface ofa rail resulting from friction and wear, WEAR, 250, 2001, pp. 901-907
The rolling surface with a band containing disjointed white etching layers
on a worn railway rail is studied by using X-ray and synchrotron radiation.
The structure, texture and the residual stress on the rolling surface of t
he rail are determined. The results are discussed with respect to the distr
ibution and the evolution of these microstructural parameters. (C) 2001 Els
