Abstract

The article describes the solution to the problem of reducing the wear of rails and wheels by creating new lubricant compositions for the lubrication of rails based on polymers and other waste products, which allows one to simultaneously solve, to a certain extent, the environmental problem consisting in disposing of some waste professionally. Naturally, it is unlikely that any waste chemical production can be used as a lubricant for the lubrication of rails in the "pure" form. In the course of research, a lubricant containing 85% NMPE, 7% waste oil and 8% graphite was developed and tested. The resulting composition is a homogeneous black grease. It is easily applied to the rails (both stationary and mobile rail lubricators can be used), does not drain from the side surface of the rail head, is well carried by the wheels of the rolling stock, which ensures its uniform distribution on the side surface of the rail head. It is based on production waste, and expensive component-graphite; it contains no more than 10%. The composition has no corrosive effect. It is harmless to humans and the environment. The viscosity of such composition is easily adjusted in accordance with weather conditions by changing the ratio of NMPE: diesel oil. Tests of the obtained compositions were carried out in pilot conditions by applying lubricant to the side surface of the rail manually and by applying it to the rail using a mobile rail lubricator.
