The performance of rail materials is the key to the application of the electromagnetic rail-gun. Under high carrier current and high temperature, the main surface failure forms of the electromagnetic rail are surface gouging, transition and the arc erosion, the current carrying friction and wear. This paper reviews the phenomenon, reasons and microscopic mechanism of gouging. A comprehensive summary of transition and arc erosion are expounded. The characteristics of current carrying friction and wear in the EM rail-gun are also summarized. The aim is to provide basis and reference for the development of new rail materials.
