Abstract
Description
Technical field The present application belongs to the technical field of railway wheels and specifically relates to a lightweight railway wheel with good thermomechanical properties. Background technology Currently, lightweight construction is the development trend in the design of railway wheels both domestically and internationally, as it can effectively reduce unsprung mass and lower energy consumption. Furthermore, in railway wheels with profile brakes, the heat generated during braking increases or decreases the axial distance between the rim and the hub. This, in turn, increases or decreases the distance between the rims of two railway wheels on an axle, which can lead to derailment or increased flange wear. Additionally, during the braking deformation process, the compressive residual stress in the rim of the railway wheel gradually transforms into tensile residual stress. This tensile stress is detrimental to railway wheels and can easily lead to thermal cracks in the running surface, thus compromising the safe operation of railway trains. The spoke plate of a rail wheel is an important component. During operation, the spoke plate is subjected to alternating loads, and its strength is directly related to the safety of the rail train. Therefore, the spoke plate is a crucial element in the structural design and optimization of the wheel.
