What is rail grinding and how does it work?The rail defects lead to the change of rail profile which causes the rail-wheel contact unstable. Rail grinding is actually to cut the surface of the rail, remove the defects, and restore the rail to the optimal profile. The optimal rail profile is shown below in the figure.

Rail Grinding Types And Practices | AGICO Rail

A rail profile design method with the arc tangency point as the key parameter was proposed for the grinding of over worn rail. Specifically, taking the wheel-rail contact region as the optimization area and the rail wear and the removed amount of grinding material as the optimization objective function, taking the profile boundary, concavity and convexity, …

 · The results indicate that in multipass rail grinding, a sequence of grinding passes – where the greatest grinding effort is applied on the earlier passes, with the last pass applying reducing levels of grinding effort – produces the highest conformance to the target grinding profile. For example, when rail grinding is planned for two passes ...
