Technical Investigation of Rail(60kg) Head Profile
60kg급 레일 두부형상 개선 기술검토
Abstract
Now, Korea National Railroad is planning many ways to increase the maximum operating speed of train up to 200km/h by 2010. Among those ways, connecting conventional line with the KTX is the strongest alternative. Mostly, conventional lines are consisting of both KS50N and KS6O rail. However, the excessive abrasion might be occurred between wheel and rail when the KTX designed to operate on UIC60 is operating on the conventional line. On this study, new standard of 60kg-class rail considered suitability for both KTX and wheel used in conventional line is presented. It seems to be an effective solution for increasing maintenance costs expected when commercial speed of conventional line is increasing.
