Record 6 2019-02-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Railroad Maintenance

L'usure des rails engendre une augmentation des contraintes et réduit la durée de la résistance à la fatigue du rail. Par conséquent, un rail usé devient plus susceptible au développement et à la propagation de fissures qui donnent lieu à des ruptures de rail, ce qui augmente le risque de déraillement.
