Abstract

Railway manufacturers are engaged with design, development and production of bogies which also provides services for the complete product life cycle of the bogies. Bogie is the vital area where wheels come in contact with rails which is widely considered the single and most crucial component of a train. Manufacturing of bogie chassis for railcar having distortion continues to be important issue and is subjected to large amount of research. Distortion effects encountered in the welding sector have been widely recognized as a feature which will never be completely eliminated. This paper demonstrates the most economical and controllable method of heat straightening with the help of design of straightening fixture to eliminate the distortion.
