Analysis of methods of resurfacing wheelset tread profile
The basic methods of resurfacing wheels are determined and analysed. It's shown that for raising resource of used wheels and decreasing requirements of railway transport for new wheels it's reasonable to use methods of recovering not only geometric parameters of rim, but also its mechanical properties. It's marked that use of infeed profile high-speed grinding (VPVSh) enables to intensify significantly process of mechanical treatment of wheel rim profile both when its resurfacing in service and when manufacturing new wheels.
