Many studies of wear were done using pin-on-disc tribometer on interaction between the wheels - rail. The present paper proposes analytical study on wear. Wear rates were determined using depth of wear prediction on the interaction surfaces between wheel-rail. This prediction has been validated using pin-on-disc experimental technique using normal load of 100 N. The results show that the predictive equation developed can be used to predict the actual wear rate. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. %Z cited By 1; Conference of 2nd International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, ICMAE 2011 ; Conference Date: 29 July 2011 Through 31 July 2011; Conference Code:87387
