Abstract The maintenance process rail milling and the rolling contact behavior of a milled rail are analyzed in detail. By using commercial finite element programs the milling process and the rolling-sliding contact of a wheel on a milled rail are simulated with 3D and 2D methods. These results are compared to experimental results and metallographic investigations of a milled rail after an actual milling process and after milling tests that were done in track together with a European infrastructure manager (IM). A satisfying agreement is shown by comparing the obtained numerical results with the experimental results and metallographic investigations.
