The wear and rolling contact fatigue of wheel-rail materials were investigated through varying wheel/rail hardness ratios (H-w/H-r) and creepages. The results indicated that with the H-w/H-r increasing from 0.927 to 1.218, the wheel wear rate reduced significantly in the case of H-w/H-r = 1.218, the rail wear rate showed an increasing trend. Both the wheel and rail wear rates increased as the creepage enlarged. The synergistic results of Hw/Hr and creepage caused a transition of the wear and damage mechanisms on the wheel-rail steels. Besides, the fatigue damage of ER7 and CL60 wheel materials was dominated by slender multi-layer cracks, while the fatigue cracks were short and contained lots of interlayer broken materials on C-class wheel steel.
