00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,167
Do not attempt to repair wheels by welding.

2
00:00:03,167 --> 00:00:07,833
Turn or mill the wheel to restore the necessary tread and flange contour.

3
00:00:07,833 --> 00:00:23,125
Wheels should be removed from service and scrapped when 3 inches (76.2 mm) of material on the wheel diameter has worn off or when the rim thickness has decreased to 1 inch (25.4 mm).

4
00:00:23,125 --> 00:00:32,708
Ensure that the surface finish on reworked wheel flanges does not exceed 250 μin. (6.35 μm).

5
00:00:32,708 --> 00:00:37,417
This is important because a wheel with a rough flange surface tends to climb the rail.

6
00:00:37,417 --> 00:00:47,125
Refer to the WHEEL AND AXLE manual, published by the Association of American Railroads, for further details on wheel wear tolerances and wheel turning practices.
