Abstract [en]

Manganese crossings are widely used in the railway sector because of their self-hardening properties, but one major disadvantage is that maintenance actions using condition monitoring of internal flaws are problematic to perform. The reason is that manganese material is coarse-grained with internal reflections. In the present study (Part 2), measurements on internal flaws with a spectrumof ultrasonic equipment were performed on a real manganese crossing. After the measurements, the crossing was cut up and inspected. Correlations with the measurements and the real flaws indicate that, independent of the equipment used, false echoes were common, as well as a low capacity to indicate real flaws. In Part 1, measurements were performed on pre-eut holes in the same material as that used in real manganese crossings.
