Introduction

Standard Revision Background and Technology Evolution

GB/T8601-2021, as an important standard in the field of railway rolled steel wheels, replaces the 1988 version of the standard that has been implemented for 33 years. This revision reflects the rapid development of China's rail transit equipment technology, mainly responding to the new requirements for wheel performance of high-speed trains (250km/h) and heavy-duty trucks (axle weight 33t).


Comparison of core technology changes

Technical dimensions 1988 version regulations 2021 version changes
Grading system A/B grade simple grading 1/2/3 grade speed-axle weight matrix (Table 1)
Material grade CL45MnSiV, etc. Added CL50/55/65/70, cancelled CL45MnSiV
Mechanical properties Focus on room temperature performance Added -20℃ impact and fatigue performance (Appendix B)

Analysis of key performance indicators

6.3 Mechanical performance requirements

Taking CL70 steel as an example, the performance requirements of its rim are as follows:

  • Tensile strength ≥1050MPa
  • Surface hardness ≥321HBW
  • -20℃ impact energy ≥13J

Compared with CL50 steel, the strength is increased by about 28%, which is suitable for higher axle load conditions.


Implementation suggestions

  1. Material selection: CL70 is preferred for level 1 wheels, and CL50 is optional for level 3
  2. Process control: Focus on non-metallic inclusions ≤ level 1.5 in Article 6.5
  3. Detection points: Ultrasonic flaw detection adopts the φ1.0mm flat-bottom hole standard (Article 6.7)
