"Formation mechanism and evolution of white etching layers on different" by Ba Hieu Nguyen, Ali Al-Juboori et al.
White Etching Layers (WELs) were found to form on different rail grades in the railway networks across the world. The presentence of WELs on the rail promotes rolling contact fatigue defects, which is detrimental to railway transportation safety. However, the formation and evolution of WELs on different rail grades are not fully understood, as is their contribution to the formation of RCF defects on different rail grades. The extensive field monitoring, laboratory experiment, and material characterization were carried out to systematically investigate the formation mechanism and evolution of W...
