Rail Wheels a type of Wheel specially designed for use on rail tracks. The Wheels is on the rails without guidance except for the shape of the tyre in relation to the rail head. Contrary to popular belief, the flanges should not touch the rails. Flanges are only a last resort to prevent the wheels becoming derailed - they're a safety feature. The Wheel tyre is coned and the rail head slightly curved.
Ideally, the Wheel profile should be determined by agreement between the railway infrastructure owner and the rolling stock owner. Of course, it varies from place to place but it is rarely a simple angle. It's usually a carefully calculated compound form. With respect to the rail angle, in the UK for example, it is set at 1 in 20 (1/20 or 0.05). In the US and France it's usually at 1/40. Light rail systems operating over roadways will have special profiles.
Globally, the rail wheels industry market is low concentrated as the manufacturing technology of rail wheels is relatively matures than some high-tech equipment. And some enterprises, like NSSMC, Interpipe, EVRAZ NTMK and Vyksa Steel Works (VSW), etc. are well-known for the wonderful performance of their rail wheels and related services. Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific are the major consumption regions and their market share is 15.32%, 8.55% and 49.60%
The consumption volume of rail wheels is related to downstream industries and global economy.
