Out-of-round tram wheels – current state and measurements

Staśkiewicz T., Firlik B.

Railway or tram wheel is never perfectly round and its surface is not ideally smooth, even at the very moment after manufacturing. This induces dynamic interaction between wheel and rail while rolling, which may result in accelerated wear, fatigue cracking, corrugation formation (both on wheels and rails) and intensified vibroacoustic emission. This paper is an attempt of summarising the current scientific achievements concerning out-of-round (OOR) tram wheels. The gathered research may provide an introduction to the broader analysis of this issue in tram technology. However there is still very little scientific works dedicated directly to light rail vehicles such as trams. The measuring methodology of out-of-round tram wheels is also described in this article. Appropriate measurements were made on the wheels of selected vehicles operated by municipal tram company in Poznań. The obtained results allowed to learn the characteristic forms of out-of-round tram wheels, among which, several forms of polygonization (ovalization, triangularization, etc.) were observed. Therefore we confirmed the thesis, that the method of fixing tram wheel rims in the lathe has a significant effect on formation of the unevenness of its rolling surface, both when new (just after turning) and, after some mileage of use, when even small irregularities become amplified. We observed also that the amplitude values from 5th up to 10th harmonic orders were increased during the operation. The initial out-of-round shape of the wheel should be likely present on the worn wheel, but with increased amplitudes of irregularities. Wheel out-of-roundness should be identified and removed at the soonest possible state to prevent its development and generating issues in the future operation, that are for example: rolling stock and infrastructure damage, impaired comfort of passengers and city inhabitants. It makes out-of-round wheels a serious problem to cope with for the vehicle operators, which can lead even to a catastrophe.

Trams have become a constant in the landscape of many European metropolises in recent decades. The aim of presented research was to evaluate material changes in the surface layer of Siemens Combino, Konstal 105Na, Moderus Beta and Duewag GT tram wheels and rails as a consequence of wheel and rail exploitation in Poznan agglomeration. Microscopic study and hardness measurement were performed. The surface layer of tram wheel was highly deformed, particularly on the top of the wheel flange and under the rolling surface. In the tram wheel so-called overhangs on the top of the wheel flange and on the outer part of the rolling surface were found. Plastic deformation caused an increase of hardness in comparison to the core material. Hardness increase in case of the top of the wheel flange (even 60%) was bigger than in case of the rolling surface (up to 30%). It was also found that the longer approximate total mileage of the wheel was, the higher hardness increase of the surface layer was. ‘White layer’ as a result of presence of higher temperature during exploitation caused by friction was observed. Hard (even 2.5-times harder than the core material) and brittle layer can cause cracks. In case of Moderus Beta and Konstal 105Na wheels in the part from their frontal side decarbonization was noticed. It was stated that decarbonization is also present in the new wheel. It means that it is a defect of PST type wheel production. An area with so low hardness (below 100 HV0.1) could cause faster deformation and wear of whole wheel. A deformation in the surface layer were also revealed in rails. It was observed even in the coating area generated by welding — slip lines in austenite and martensite phase presence. Some recommendations for better wheel exploitation for Poznan Public Transport Company were also determined.

Celem badań było określenie zmian, jakie zaszły w warstwie wierzchniej wybranych kół tramwajowych oraz szyn aglomeracji poznańskiej wynikające z ich eksploatacji. Lepsze zrozumienie zjawisk zachodzących na styku koła z szyną powinno przyczynić się do zwiększenia bezpieczeństwa transportu tramwajowego, a także do zmniejszenia kosztów obsługi.

PFT tram wheel profile is considered the standard profile in Poland. Despite its modern design this profile, in combination with the most commonly used rail profiles in Poland it may lead to instability, even at regular operating speeds. Although the relationship between Y/Q forces is not at a dangerous level in these cases, it leads to the increase in wheels and rails wear and the deterioration of the tram operating properties. The influence of selected, possibly small PFT profile modifications, was analyzed. These modifications were made to increase the stability on a variety of rails, an analysis of these modifications on the hypothetical process of wear of wheel/rail parts was also performed.

Profil koła tramwajowego typu PST jest profilem objętym normą obowiązującą w Polsce. Pomimo nowoczesności tego profilu, w skojarzeniu ze stosownymi często w Polsce profilami szyn może on wykazywać niestabilność nawet przy eksploatacyjnych prędkościach jazdy. Pomimo, że nie występuje w tych przypadkach niebezpieczny poziom stosunku sił Y/Q, to wpływa to na zwiększenie zużycia kół i szyn oraz na pogorszenie właściwości biegowych tramwajów. Zanalizowano wpływ wybranych, możliwie małych modyfikacji profilu PST, dokonanych w celu zwiększenia stabilności na różnych szynach, dokonano również analizy tych modyfikacji na hipotetyczny proces zużywania elementów koło-szyna.
