Abstract

The article delves into the production of high-quality wheel steel, emphasizing the stringent requirements for purity and mechanical properties set by GOST standards. It explores various production methods, including melting in acid converters or arc steel smelting furnaces, extra-furnace treatment, and continuous casting. The text highlights the importance of selecting appropriate metal charges, optimizing extra-furnace treatment parameters, and employing advanced techniques like electromagnetic mixing to achieve the desired steel quality. The article also discusses the challenges and solutions for minimizing nonmetallic inclusions and gaseous impurities, as well as the optimization of continuous casting regimes to prevent defects like central porosity. Overall, the article offers a comprehensive overview of the production processes and innovations aimed at producing high-quality wheel steel for railway wheel manufacture.
