The subject of this paper is the overview of materials used in the construction of rail vehicle wheels. The characteristics of this constructional element as well as its functional and material requirements are presented. In the following part, a description of commonly used carbon steels and alternative construction materials such as cast steels, ADI cast irons or aluminium alloys is presented, which are supposed to limit the wear of the wheel-rail contact pair and reduce the level of noise emission.
