  • Patent number: 11434553
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a low cost lean production bainitic steel wheel for rail transit and a manufacturing method therefor. The steel wheel contains elements with the following weight percentages: carbon C: 0.15-0.45%, silicon Si: 1.00-2.50%, manganese Mn: 1.20-3.00%, rare earth RE: 0.001-0.040%, phosphorus P?0.020%, and sulphur S?0.020%, where the remaining is iron and unavoidable residual elements, and 3.00%?Si+Mn?5.00%. Compared with the prior art, through alloying design and a preparation process, especially a heat treatment process and technology, a rim of the wheel obtains a carbide-free bainite structure, and a web and a wheel hub obtain granular bainite, a supersaturated ferritic structure, and a small amount of pearlite. The wheel has high comprehensive mechanical properties and service performance.

  • Patent number: 11306377
    Abstract: The present invention provides a high strength, high toughness, heat-cracking resistant bainite steel wheel for rail transportation and a manufacturing method thereof. Components are: carbon 0.10-0.40%, silicon 1.00-2.00%, manganese 1.00-2.50%, copper 0.20-1.00%, boron 0.0001-0.035%, nickel 0.10-1.00%, phosphorus ?0.020%, and sulphur ?0.020%, where the remaining is iron and unavoidable residual elements, 1.50%?Si+Ni?3.00%, and 1.50%?Mn+Ni+Cu?3.00%. Compared with the prior art, in the present invention, by using design of the chemical compositions of steel and wheel manufacturing processes, especially a heat treatment process and technology, a rim of the wheel obtains a carbide-free bainite structure, and a web and a wheel hub obtain a metallographic structure based on granular bainite and a supersaturated ferritic structure.
