The potential for suppressing rail defect growth through tailoring rail thermo-mechanical properties by I., David, N., Fletcher, H. Sanusi, Shahmir

“…Thermal damage of rails can occur through brake lock-up, or traction control system failure to prevent wheel spin. In most cases the damage produced is shallow and takes the form of a “white etching layer”, usually thought to have a martensitic structure, formed as the steel is heated above its eutectoid tem-perature and then rapidly cooled as the wheel moves away. …”
