Study into the Effect of Elevated Temperature on the Friction, Wear Behavior and Wear Mechanism of Typical KTMB Rail Track using Pin-on-Disc Testing Technique

For many applications, including power generation, aerospace, rail track and the automobile industry, high temperature wear provides serious difficulties when two or
more surfaces are able to move relative to one another. During, rail track applications that operate at higher temperatures without any lubrication contact between the rail track and train’s wheel will consequently accelerated wear. This project studies the effect of elevated temperature on the typical rail track.
