BN found that grinding the rail to the optimal profile, on a tonnage-based cycle, is an important part of the grinding process. These profiles have been found to minimize rail surface fatigUe cracks, improve truck steering, reduce truck hunting, and maintain the shape of worn rail and worn wheel profiles.

Based on the grinding target profile of the rail and the grinding capacity of a single grinding stone, a numerical calculation method for rail grinding patterns that includes grinding angle and grinding power of each grinding stone of the GMC96 rail grinding train was designed and established.
Two grinding strategies were developed that could reduce the number of damaging contacts. These were, grinding the gauge shoulder, and grinding the field side of the top of the rail. Calculations predicted that the largest improvement would result from combining both strategies.

As railroads continue to improve their rail grinding practices and take advantage of new technologies in rail profile inspection and grinding train control systems, as well as improved understanding of the wheel/rail interface relationship, it becomes increasingly important for grinding control systems to be able to effectively analyze the …
This paper discusses examples of some dos and don'ts associated with rail grinding, when applied to achieve specific goals and/or strategies, including: Corrective or defect grinding, which primarily aims to remove/reduce rail defects; Preventative or cyclic grinding, which primarily aims to eliminate or at least control rail defects and maintain …
Rail players around the world have been increasing axle loads to improve the productivity of freight and heavy haul operations. This has increased the risk of surface cracks at curves because of rolling contact fatigue. Rail grinding has been considered an effective process for controlling these cracks and reducing risks of rail breaks.

8th International Heavy Haul Conference, 2005 2.0 SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT RAIL GRINDING 2.1 What are the technical benefits of rail grinding? Generally rail grinding has been applied to achieve one or more of the following: • • • Implement modified rail profiles, to improve the wheel/rail interaction characteristics, and hence
Rail grinding is one effective technique of railroad track repair and maintenance. By using rail grinders, rail defect material is removed and the rail profile is restored. Thus the service life of railroad …
An analytical introduction to rail grinding was presented in this paper where a newly-designed profile serves as the targeted ground profile to extend the rail's service life. A method for determining eliminated metal due to rail grinding is established as an initial consideration in the process of rail profile correction. The analytical model of material …

In 2005, TTCI, with the cooperation of the host railroads, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, ... similar signs of RCF growth on the low rail. A corrective grind to address RCF was performed at 275 MGT and 365 MGT for the 10- …
A grinding pattern was generated by the proposed method that can effectively simulate the ground rail profile within a pre-determined tolerance. The area difference of predicted and target profiles was 13 mm 2 (6.6%)and the experimental result was 12.2 mm 2 at rail cross-section. Download to read the full article text References

Abnormal rail wear always results from bad wheel/rail contact geometry, so rail grinding is used to reduce rail wear, with most grinding work focused on curved track. In straight track, most rail wear is located at the TOR, and the wear rate is much less than that in curved track. For rail in straight track, most researchers focus on rolling ...
In this study, first, a rail grinding model is established. The goal of this study was to improve the hydraulic system by installing check valves at the oil inlet and outlet. The grinding pressure at the peak of rail irregularity was increased through the delayed pressure relief induced by these valves, and the grinding effect was improved.
