Patent ID: 11458762

Abstract:
A railway wheel is capable of suppressing formation of pro-eutectoid cementite even if the C content is high. The railway wheel has a chemical composition consisting of: in mass %, C: 0.80 to 1.15%; Si: 0.45% or less; Mn: 0.10 to 0.85%; P: 0.050% or less; S: 0.030% or less; Al: 0.120 to 0.650%; N: 0.0030 to 0.0200%; Cr: 0 to 0.25%; and V: 0 to 0.12%, with the balance being Fe and impurities, wherein an amount of pro-eutectoid cementite, which is defined by Formula (1), in a microstructure of the railway wheel is not more than 1.50 pieces/100 μm:Amount of pro-eutectoid cementite (pieces/100=a total sum of the number of pieces of pro-eutectoid cementite which intersect with two diagonal lines in a square visual field of 200 μm×200 μm/(5.66×100 μm) (1).
