Abstract : In this paper, the reduction effect of dry (solid) lubrication on wheel flange wear rates is studied. The solid / dry lubricator
systems were attached to the most front and furthest back axles of a coach in order to examine the wear behavior of
the equipped wheels. An attempt is also made to make a comparison between wear behaviors of these wheel flanges having
dry lubrication devices with non-lubricated wheels in other railcars. Finally, a comparison is made between life-cycle
of wheels under investigation and other similar wheel types.
