Failure Modes and Effects Analysis
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis
Rail head cracks with internal origin : kidney-shape crack( Subsurface origin )
This type crack usually initiates from manufacturing defects which show up when
the rail starts to age. Accumulative tonnage borne or progressive cracking of the rail
head leads to kidney-shape flaw.
initiation
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis
Transverse Rail Foot Cracks
This is described as a progressive fracture in the base of the rail which develops
substantially on a transverse plane. Transverse cracks are usually initiated from the
outer edge of the foot (Galling) due to wear and/or corrosion at the rail support. As
a result of relatively high bending, torsional and residual stresses, very small
underside foot cracks can lead to complete rail fracture.
initiation
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis
Longitudinal Rail Foot Cracks
This defect is thought to be caused by improper seating of the rail or poor
manufacturing. The defect usually starts as a vertical longitudinal split which can be
seen away from the center line of the foot that probably causes a piece of the foot to
break away, and more severe damages happen near the center line of the foot by
causing a complete fracture of the rail.
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis
Longitudinal Vertical and Horizontal Cracks(Rail Web Cracks)
Cracks in the web usually originate from poor manufacturing. These can be in a
vertical (piping) or horizontal direction leading to rail fractures. They are initiated at
shrinkage cracks at the outer edge of the weld collar. Typically, impact loading is a
contributing factor.
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis
Head Checks
Surface fatigue originates from the stress-exhausted surface layer of the material. As wear
rates on the rails are low, the metal remains in place longer and finally reaches the fatigue limit
which lead to head check cracks. Head checks are groups of fine surface cracks at the running
(gauge) corner of the rail with a typical interspacing of 0.5–10 mm. They run initially into the
interior of the rail at an angle of 15-30° against traffic direction. Head check cracks normally
shallow and removed quite easily by rail grinding.
Squats
This type of failure is characterized by the appearance of micro cracks below the surface of the
tracks. Squat cracks occur due to high dynamic load of track leading to rolling contact
fatigue. At first, these cracks look like a small dark dot. They then become enlarged from the
bottom of the dot and grow at a shallow angle in the longitudinal direction. Sometimes the growth
of cracks under the surface is in direction to the gauge corner that is common in moving cross
frogs. Cracks finally turn down vertically and can eventually result in a rail breakage. The
significant characteristic of squats usually appears on the running surface and less commonly
from the gauge corner. Welding is known as common treatment of squats defect.
