Influence of white etching layer on rolling contact behavior at wheel-rail interface

Abstract The existence of narrow and brittle white etching layers (WELs) on the rail surface is often linked with the formation of rail defects such as squats and studs, which play the key roles in rail surface degradation and tribological performance. In the present study, a systematic investigatio...
