Characterization of Friction and Wear Behavior of Friction Modifiers used in Wheel-Rail Contacts

Reliable traction between wheel and rail is an important issue in the railway industry. To reduce variations in the coefficient of friction, so-called “friction modifiers” (carrier with particles) are used. Twin-disk tests were done with three commercial friction modifiers, based on different compos...
