The invention provides rolling contact damage resistant nano
ceramic particle reinforced
train wheel steel and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of
train wheel steel. According to the steel for the wheel,
Al powder, Ti
powder and multi-walled carbon nanotubes are mixed to obtain mixed
powder, and TiC / Al intermediate
alloy is prepared through ball milling, cold press molding and
hot press sintering; the TiC / Al intermediate
alloy is crushed into
alloy chippings, the alloy chippings are placed at the bottom of a steel
ladle,
molten steel of the wheel steel is tapped to the steel
ladle, and the wheel steel is obtained after vacuum degassing refining,
continuous casting,
forging and heat treatment. The introduction method of the TiC / Al intermediate alloy carrier is adopted, the problems of
particle aggregation, segregation, floating or
sedimentation and the like caused by poor wettability and
density difference when nanoparticles are directly added are effectively avoided, and the rolling contact damage resistance of the wheel steel is improved by introduction of the TiC / Al intermediate alloy carrier; and the high-performance requirements of modern
rail transit on the steel for the wheels are met.
