Railway wheel alloy

Abstract

A steel alloy, particularly adapted for the manufacture of railway wheels is provided. Such alloy comprises essentially, in weight percentage, carbon 0.57-0.87, manganese 0.50-1.00, silicon less than 0.85, chromium 0.10-0.70, molybdenum less than 0.20, with the balance essentially iron. A second embodiment alloy is also provided. Such alloy comprises a steel railway wheel alloy, comprising, in weight percentage, carbon 0.50-0.80, manganese 0.50-1.00, silicon less than 0.85, chromium 0.10-0.70, molybdenum less than 0.20, phosphorus less than 0.05, sulfur less than 0.05, with the balance essentially iron.
