EURAXLES - A global approach for design, production and maintenance of railway axles: WP4-'Tools, technologies and surface protection systems minimizing the negative influence of corrosion or surface damage on the free axle surface'

摘要

Work Package 4 "Tools, technologies and surface protection systems minimizing the negative influence of corrosion or surface damage on the axle surface" of the EURAXLES project aimed on development of practical solutions for wheelset protection systems to avoid corrosion and damages at the axles and thus minimizing the risk of axle failures. The work included investigations for improving the paint adhesion by grit-blasting of the axle surface, alternative and innovative coating systems, recommendations for quality tests of painting and coatings and also investigation of unpainted axles.
