TLDR
In contrast to other third-body layers, such as water, oil, sand, and leaves, iron oxides exert a constant influence on the friction and wear of wheel-rail contact as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
In contrast to other third-body layers – such as water, oil, sand, and leaves – iron oxides exert a constant influence on the friction and wear of wheel–rail contact. However, studies that focus on...read more

A Review on Wear Between Railway Wheels and Rails Under Environmental Conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed recent contributions to wheel-rail wear with a special focus on the influence of environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, water, and even leaves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Full-scale testing of low adhesion effects with small amounts of water in the wheel/rail interface
TL;DR: In this paper, water was applied constantly to the wheel/rail contact at a rate of 25μL/s and wear debris and oxide was clearly visible in the contact band.

Influence of ambient humidity on the adhesion and damage behavior of wheel–rail interface under hot weather condition
Kang-jie Rong,Kang-jie Rong,Ye-long Xiao,M.X. Shen,M.X. Shen,Huo-ping Zhao,Wenjian Wang,Xiong Guangyao +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of ambient humidity on adhesion and damage between the wheel and rail interface under hot weather conditions was investigated. And the results indicated that humidity has a remarkable effect on the adhesion behavior of a wheel-rail rolling contact interface.

Simulation and understanding the wet-rail phenomenon using twin disc testing
Ben White,Roger Lewis +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors simulate the wet-rail phenomenon on a twin disc test rig for the first time and conclude that iron oxide and water alone can form a paste and produce low traction values that are comparable to oil or leaf contamination.
