The invention discloses a safety wheel for a rubber wheel metro vehicle
bogie and a preparation method of the safety wheel. The wheel comprises the following chemical components in percentage by
mass: 0.52%-0.60% of C, 0.30%-0.40% of Si, 0.70%-0.80% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.015% of P, less than 0.010% of S, 0.20%-0.30% of Cr, 0.05%-0.23% of Ni, 0.04%-0.06% of V, (60-80) * 10 <-4%) of N, less than or equal to 0.012% of Al, less than or equal to 0.005% of Ti and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. The composition proportion of N and Al is controlled by adjusting C and adding V, so that the
volume fraction of the
tread ferrite reaches 5-12%, and the
volume fraction of the rim reaches 10-16%; meanwhile, the metallurgical quality is controlled, the proportion of plastic inclusions is larger than or equal to 90%, the proportion of the size below 10 micrometers is larger than 85%, and the wrapping rate is larger than or equal to 80%. And finally, the average value of the
fracture toughness of the wheel is larger than or equal to 85 MPam1 / 2, the unit value is larger than or equal to 80 MPam1 / 2, the
rolling contact fatigue resistance is remarkably improved, and the
cracking risk of large-size inclusions is reduced.
