The invention discloses a heat-treatment cooling process for a
train wheel, and belongs to the technical field of heat-treatment cooling for
train wheels. The heat-treatment cooling process for the
train wheel comprises the steps that first, the whole wheel is heated to be completely austenitized; second, the wheel is transferred onto a
quenching table and is made to rotate, a gas-mist two-phase flow with the pressure being increased step by step is sprayed onto a wheel
tread; and third, the whole wheel is placed into a
tempering furnace for heat preservation and is finally taken out to be air-cooled, wherein the gas-mist two-phase flow with the pressure being increased step by step is sprayed onto the wheel
tread sequentially through three stages, the rotation speeds V1, V2 and V3 of thewheel, the water pressures P1, P2 and P3 and the
quenching times T1, T2 and T3 in the three stages are controlled, and the numbers of started nozzles which are distributed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the wheels in the three stages are respectively M, 2M and 3M. By adoption of the heat-treatment cooling process for the train wheel, the capacity to cool the interior of a rim can be improved, the
cooling speed is kept balanced and consistent from the wheel
tread to the deep interior of the rim, the structure of the whole cross section of the rim is optimized, and accordingly, the radial
hardness gradient of the rim is greatly reduced, and the
mechanical property and
usability of the wheel are greatly improved.
