Wheels and brake disks of rail-mounted vehicles are wearing parts. Similarly as with motor-car tires the constant loads between wheel and rail cause a material removal and/or a material deformation at the wheel.
Railway vehicle wheels are subject to permanent stress and high wear. In order to prevent derailments due to worn wheels, these have to be continually checked and replaced as needed.
