Tempered Bainite and Martensite Embrittlement in Microalloyed Steel for Forged Railroad Wheel to Heavy Haul Application

Abstract This research shows two new microalloyed steels with niobium (Nb) for railroad wheels (Nb1 and Nb2) applied on heavy haul transportation (load over 30 tons/axle). The steels have mixed microstructure composed of pearlite and bainite (finished wheel rim section), and another one composed of...
