| Abstract | This study focused on development and characterization of a multifunctional coating system for rail track applications, such as low solar absorption, long-term durability, and corrosion resistance. Both laboratory and field experiments were conducted using coated and uncoated rails exposed to sunlight at various ambient temperatures to evaluate the effectiveness of coating in reducing rail temperature. The experimental results show that the average temperature reduction provided by the coating was 10–25°F, depending on the peak air temperature and measurement method. The effect of measurement method on rail temperature was investigated using different instrumentation types (magnet sensor, thermocouple, and automated Salient system) and thermal modelling simulations. On the other hand, the coated rail segments were placed in to the accelerate corrosion testing in a customized chamber to evaluate the performance of coating under exposure of wet/dry and freeze/thaw cycles, UV radiation, and salt spray. The performance of the coated rail segments placed in the outdoor environment and the coated rail track at service were used to evaluate the durability of coating. Field application of coating demonstrates that the coating adheres well to the rails. The curing time is about an hour. The coating can be applied on active tracks with proper scheduling. The durability of the coating was observed over two winter seasons. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
