A new High Pressure Torsion (HPT) set-up has been developed for assessing the effect of third body materials in the wheel/rail interface in a representative and controlled manner. In this study the technique has been used to investigate the effect of small amounts of water and iron oxides mixtures when subjected to different contact pressures. HPT tests showed reduction in adhesion relative to a dry contact when testing with small amounts of water and/or oxides, however sustained low adhesion (mu < 0.05) was not produced. To aid interpretation of the results a model has been developed to explore the behavior encountered when testing with water and iron oxide mixtures. The model relates the shear properties of water and oxide mixtures (with increasing solid content) to a predicted adhesion. The model shows a narrow window of water to oxide fraction is required for reduced adhesion, particularly on rough surfaces, and this correlates with the behavior observed.
