TITANIUM COULD HELP MAKE THE WHEELS GO ROUND
Abstract
CONTINUAL pressure of competition from the aircraft and automobile industries is forcing the administrators of railways throughout the world to concentrate their efforts on possibilities of modernization and improvement, with particular emphasis on the increase in travelling speeds. It is, therefore, necessary to pay special attention to the system railway wheel/rail, as it is this which has to fulfil such important functions as transmitting the driving, braking and guiding forces, quite apart from supporting the vehicle itself.
