Abstract
The article considers the current state of stable interaction of the wheel-rail system, one of the main and resource-intensive problems that has long remained acute in the field of railway transport. The types of wear between the wheel and the rail have been thoroughly studied, and the results are shown in a graph and diagram. It can be seen from the results that intensive wear of the rolling surface of wheels and rails on curved sections of the road prevails over other types of wear. So far, many proposals have been proposed and work has been done to prevent this wear and tear. However, the work done clearly showed that it was not possible to completely solve the problem of intensive wear of wheels and rails on curves. The costs of material resources associated with excessive wear of the wheel-rail system in the locomotive, wagon and road facilities, primarily on curved sections of the track, are at a fairly high level. Therefore, it is necessary to continue work on their reduction.
