Study on Mechanism and Influencing Factors of Wheel Strengthening and Toughening of High-Speed and Heavy-Load Train

When maximum speed of 160 km/h is reached and the axle load reaches 25–30 tons, the train wheels need to have high strength and toughness. The main chemical elements affecting the strength and toughness of the wheel were determined by the mechanical features of the samples with different chemical co...

description When maximum speed of 160 km/h is reached and the axle load reaches 25–30 tons, the train wheels need to have high strength and toughness. The main chemical elements affecting the strength and toughness of the wheel were determined by the mechanical features of the samples with different chemical compositions. Through analysis of the impact fracture of typical specimens, the difference of wheel toughness was mainly reflected in the dimple band, crack source, and cleavage pattern. By SEM analysis of fracture cracks, the critical size difference was found to exist between the grains during brittle fracture, where the intergranular fracture between grains of different sizes is mainly due to the different interfacial stresses between grains of different sizes.
