Abstract
ENG: During the operation of freight cars, uneven wear occurs in the central bowl of the rail truck bolster. This article aims to determine the concentration of the filler of the composite material to reduce the wear of the central bowl of the rail truck bolster. In this work, for the first time, a mathematical model of the distribution of the filler concentration in the projected composite tape was obtained. To reduce the wear of the working surface of the central bowl of the rail truck bolster, as well as to ensure uniform wear distribution, it is proposed to weld a composite tape with variable tribomechanical properties using contact welding. The wear value of the working surface of the central bowl of the bolster of the rail truck bolster when using composite tapes of compositions Fe-Cr-Ni-Cr3C2 and Fe-Cr-Ni-TiC with contact welding was 0.15–0.18 mm per 10,000 km - for a loaded freight car and 0.08–0.10 mm per 10,000 km for an empty freight car. According to the amount of wear, the value of the service life of the center plate assembly is predicted, which is 320,000–420,000 km.
