Transverse eccentric wear of the brake shoe is a co mmon and critical braking fault in freight trains, which can lead to thermal damage in wheels. The mechanism of transverse eccentric wear of the brake shoe influencing thermal fatigue crack propagation in freight train wheels was investigated to support wheel condition-based maintenance and safety early warning. First, material tests were carried out to obtain the mechanical property parameters and fatigue crack propagation parameters of ZL-C wheels at various temperatures. Second, a thermo-mechanically coupled finite element model of the wheel was developed to simulate the temperature and stress fields under emergency braking conditions with different degrees of eccentric wear of the brake shoe. Finally, based on fracture mechanics theory, a predictive model for thermal fatigue crack propagation service life was established to analyze the crack propagation path and its service life. The results show that the eccentric wear of the brake shoe will lead to a significant braking temperature rise during the emergency braking of the wheel, and a large cyclic circumferential stress will be generated. The combined effect of the two will lead to the initiation of “scale-like” cracks at the chamfer of the wheel rim. The thermal fatigue crack mainly propagates along the axial direction of the wheel and propagates slowly along the radial direction. With the increase of crack size, the depth-to-length ratio of thermal fatigue crack decreases continuously. Under the influence of the eccentric wear of the brake shoe, the propagation service life of the thermal crack is greatly reduced. Under the emergency braking condition of the eccentric wear of the brake shoe of 25 mm, the unstable fracture occurs when the crack extends to 50.0 mm. Compared with that in the condition without the eccentric wear of the brake shoe, the thermal fatigue crack is extended from 0.2 mm to 50.0 mm when the eccentric wear of the brake shoe is 25 mm. The propagation service life of the crack is reduced by 90.1%. For the wheels with thermal fatigue cracks, it is necessary to further strengthen the monitoring, avoiding the early failure of the wheels caused by the unstable propagation of the cracks.
