Heat Treatment Process and Facility for Railway Wheels

摘要

Modern rolling stock material - especially for high speed wheels - needs modern heat treatment technologies to assure highest quality and product safety combined with cost efficient mass production. The concept presented here is based on bogie hearth pusher furnaces with light material fibre lining and modern burner technology. State-of-the-art single wheel quenching technology has been proven to fulfil the increasing demands of the railway wheel markets.
