Tests carried out to determine endurance properties of steel from heat-treated rail: medium manganese rail, zirconium-treated medium manganese rail, and manganese-molybdenum rail; results are also given of tests on steel from transverse fissured rail and unfissured rail from same heat that had been subjected to similar traffic; heat treatment of rails markedly increased endurance limit; medium manganese rail steels were found, in general, to have higher endurance limit than carbon rail steels.
