    Railway tracks are made of medium carbon steel or hot rolled steel that is rolled into specific T-shapes. The steel provides high wear resistance and resistance to fracturing. Railway tracks are manufactured through extrusion molding followed by rolling processes. Common non-destructive testing methods used to inspect railway tracks include visual, liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, eddy current, and ultrasound testing. The most frequent defects found are shelling, bolt-hole cracks, longitudinal cracks, and transverse cracks. Standards organizations like ANSI provide codes establishing allowable limits for surface defects and track misalignments.

    INTRODUCTION
    ■ What material is used to make railway
    tracks?
    Medium carbon steel or Hot rolled steel (Steel
    1084) Rolling blooms through specific T- shapes

    ■ Properties of the Train track material?


    High wear resistance and Resistance to
    fracturing
    ■ How are rail tracks made?
    ■ What are the processes used?
    Some extrusion molding followed by rolling
    Rails cooling after manufacture on a cooling bank
    Methods Used and Pre-cleaning
    ■Visual testing: Requires surface cleaning
    and just the use of visual aids like
    magnifying glass and lights for the testing
    of railway tracks.
    ■Liquid penetrant testing: Uses LP testing
    kit for performing test, requires cleaning
    at each step, i.e., before applying
    Penetrant, before developer is applied,
    and final cleaning.
    ■Magnetic particle inspection: Cleaning
    is required and magnetic powder is
    applied and then the magnetization of the
    material is performed the get the defects.
    ■Eddy current: No cleaning is required, this is
    performed on railway tracks to get on surface defects by
    touching the probe or holding just above on the railway
    track and we get the defect on the screen as a graph.

    ■Ultrasound: No cleaning is required, and is performed


    by moving ultrasonic equipment over the railway tracks.
    And getting the reading as echoes represented as graph
    we mainly use different types of probes to detect even
    the cracks which are on angle.

    ■There are 2 methods of ultrasonic testing which are

    – By using Inspection Trains

    – By using manual inspection method


    Advantages and Disadvantages of UT in
    Railway Inspections
    Advantages:
    ■ Can cover large distances of the rail surface
    ■ Safe and highly accurate
    ■ Instant results
    Disadvantages:
    ■ Probe requires contact with the rail
    ■ Defects near bolt holes and rail ends are hard to detect
    ■ High degree of operator skill is required
    Most common types of Defects found in
    Railway Tracks

    Initiated crack propagation (growth)

    Buckling
    Shelling, Bolt-hole, Longitudinal and Transverse Cracks
    CODES AND STANDARDS FOR INSPECTION
    ■ ANSI Codes and Standards for railway inspection (American National Standard
    Institute)

    Allowable limits for railway misalignments

    Allowable limits for railway surface defect according to standards
