Abstract

The article delves into the critical role of nonmetallic inclusions in the failure of wheel steel components used in railway transport. It highlights the harmful effects of aluminum oxide particles and the importance of controlling inclusion size and composition to prevent fatigue defects. The study examines continuously-cast wheel steel billets, modified with silicocalcium, and investigates the distribution, composition, and morphology of inclusions across different areas of the billets. Advanced methods such as fractional gas analysis and electron microscopy are employed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of steel contamination. The research reveals that the billets contain complex calcium aluminate and aluminosilicate inclusions, as well as manganese sulfides, which are predominantly fine and spherical. These findings suggest that the steel meets the specifications for high-quality transport metal, suitable for manufacturing high-speed passenger and freight railway wheels.
