Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of structural steel, and particularly relates to a production method and application of rare earth hot-rolled round steel for a hook tail frame. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of the railway transport vehicle coupler buffer device, the hook tail frame realizes the longitudinal force transmission between vehicles during vehicle traction, coupling and buffering. Because the hook tail frame bears huge longitudinal impact loads, the performance and quality of the hook tail frame have an important impact on train operation safety. In 2000, China required that the hook tail frame could only use E-grade steel materials to replace the traditional ordinary carbon cast steel and became the dominant material for railway freight car hook tail frames in China. In 2008, Pangang successfully developed 25MnCrNiMoA forged hook tail frame steel for railway vehicles, and the technology reached the domestic advanced level. The physical properties of the 25MnCrNiMA hook tail frame steel prepared by design are Rel: 692 - 1040 MPa, Rm: 850 - 1080 MPa, A: 14 - 19%, 2: 45 - 68%, Akv2: 40 - 80 J.

[0003] With the implementation of the heavy haul and speed increase strategies in the field of railway freight transportation, the production technology of railway freight trains and vehicle performance have been continuously improved. The load per freight car has been successively increased from 60 tons to 70 tons and 80 tons, the running speed has been increased from 80 km / h to 100 - 120 km / h, and the train formation has been increased from 10,000 tons to 20,000 tons. At the same time, the requirements for the performance (mechanical properties and low-temperature toughness) of the hook tail frame, which is the largest longitudinal force-bearing part, are also getting higher and higher to better meet the development needs of heavy-haul locomotives.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above factors, in order to meet the needs of high-speed trains, a production method and application of rare earth hot-rolled round steel for a hook tail frame are developed. By adopting a production method different from the prior art for the hot-rolled round steel for a hook tail frame with specific components, the service life and use safety can be further improved.
