We performed the finite element modeling for the first time to analyze the effect of gradient structures (GS) on the wear fatigue-resistant of rails in the rolling-sliding contacts. We found that GS can enhance the wear fatigue-resistant of rails by reducing the maximum horizontal and vertical displacements on the surface of rails. The thicker GS layers, the better the performance is. For a fixed GS layer thickness, increasing the surface yield strength can effectively reduce surface displacements. The outcome from this study can provide the design guideline for processing the gradient structures in the rail steels to obtain superior mechanical properties.
