Abstract
In a track part, in particular a low-alloy steel rail for rail vehicles, the steel comprises, in the rail head of the track part, a ferrite portion of 5-15 vol %, an austenite portion of 5-20 vol %, a martensite portion of 5-20 vol %, and a portion of carbide-free bainite of 55-75 vol %.
Claims29
A track part comprising a low-alloy steel rail, wherein the steel comprises, in the rail head of the track part, a ferrite portion of 5-15 vol %, an austenite portion of 5-20 vol %, a martensite portion of 5-20 vol %, and a portion of carbide-free bainite of 55-75 vol %, wherein the low-alloy steel further comprises alloying components in the following amounts:
- 0.28-0.32 wt-% C;
- 0.98-1.03 wt-% Si;
- 1.7-1.8 wt-% Mn;
- 0.28-0.32 wt-% Cr;
- 0.08-0.13 wt-% Mo, and optionally;
- 0.01-0.25 wt-% V;
- 0.01-0.016 wt-% P;
- 0.01-0.016 wt-% S;
- and
- balance:
- iron;
- wherein the track part has a hardness of 320-400 HB in the head region and the amount of Cr prevents the occurrence of chromium carbides and facilitates weldability.
