Resumen: An extensive experimental study of the fatigue crack propagation in the steel of typical UIC R7 grade railway wheel (a hot rolled, rim quenched, O,5%C plain carbon steel wheel has been carried. - Crack propagation rates in stage II are nearly unaffected by the quantitative microstructural variations 01' by the degree of structural anisotropy encountered in the wheel. A minor but significant influence of load ratio, E, has been found. The results confirm most previously published data on ferrite-pearlite structures and provide un upper-bound for crack propagation rates that is currently used at CEIT to predict in-service lifes of wheels under thermomechanical loading.
