Abstract
Track wheels, especially railroad wheels, are trued in a material saving manner by first displacing material from zones of lesser wear to zones of higher wear on the wheel tread and/or on the wheel flange including the flank area of the flange, especially that part of the flank merging the flange into the tread zone. The location of the new or restored tread is then determined and a material removing operation such as milling or turning is performed. The material displacing may be performed by a rolling or forging operation prior to the milling or turning operation.
