Abstract:

Rail base corrosion combined with fatigue or damage can significantly reduce rail life. Studies were done to examine the relative contribution of damage, corrosion, and fatigue on rail life. The combined effects can be separated into constituent factors. Anti-corrosion treatments based on surface passivation of steel have been shown to extend rail fatigue life in the presence of damage and corrosion.
