Thermal fatigue cracks can often be found on the friction surface of brake discs used in railway vehicles after a period of usage and include crackle, radial and circumferential patterns. These cracks typically exhibit different initiation and propagation behavior under different braking conditions. In this paper, the effect of braking energy on fatigue crack evolution is analyzed by using experimental testing and numerical simulations. Macro observations show that a significant number of radial cracks appear on the surface of brake discs which operate at 300 km/h, while crackles typically appear after repeated emergency braking (EB) at 200 km/h. No crack growth was observed on disc surfaces after routine braking. The cyclic load that leads to the fatigue crack propagation consists of compressive stress during braking and residual tensile stress after cooling. Simulation results show that the depth of cracks correlates well with the residual tensile stress distribution in brake discs. Breaking tests exposed that the fracture surface of fatigue cracks which were covered by oxides shows nearly elliptic-type. Higher braking energy leads to a hardened layer on the friction surface and oxide generation near the crack edges, which are also important factors that contribute to accelerating crack propagation.
