The lifespan of conventional grades of rail steel is limited by wear and rolling contact fatigue and can be costly to repair or replace. Additive manufacturing of premium rail materials with higher yield points which are more resistant to plastic damage could potentially increase the life of rails across the network. Laser cladding offers a feasible method of in-situ application on targeted areas which are more susceptible to damage. The talk will present results from testing the method for both enhancement and repair and will look at the next steps in taking this method out on track.
