RESUMO
In this work it was developed a microalloyed steel with 0.7% carbon to manufacture railway wheels. It was taken as basis a steel class C of standard AAR M-107 and added niobium and molybdenum. The research was conducted in two stages. The first step was studied the effect of the addition of niobium and molybdenum on 0.7% C steel before and after deformation by rolling, simulating the actual forging of railroad wheels process in MWL Brasil. With the available data the second stage of the research was conducted, manufacturing and testing railway wheels in MWL Brasil, using a steel with similar chemical composition to that was used in the first step to observe the effect of niobium and molybdenum in them. The steels were austenitized at 1250 °C for niobium solubilization in austenite and deformed from 1200 °C. In the first stage, the steels were rolled at 4 passes undergoing a total deformation of 67% in thickness and aircooled. In the second step, the steels were forged by MWL Brasil manufacturing process. After heat treatment, tests on pearlite hardness, tensile, impact, fracture toughness were performed. Microstructure was observed by optical microscopy and the austenite grain size was measured. It was observed an increasing on the yield strength (8,5%), ductility (15%), impact energy (29%), fracture toughness (33%) and hardenability by niobium and molybdenum microalloying, showing that these elements can improve the performance of railway wheels nowadays produced by MWL Brasil.
