By combining thermomechanical coupling finite element analysis with the characteristics of phase transformation [continuous cooling transformation (CCT) curve], the thermal fatigue behavior of train wheel steel under high speed and heavy load conditions was analyzed. The influence of different materials on the formation of the phase transformation zone of the wheel tread was discussed. The result showed that the peak temperature of wheel/track friction zone could be higher than the austenitizing temperature for braking. The depth of the austenitized region could reach a point of 09 mm beneath the wheel tread surface. The supercooled austenite is transformed to a hard and brittle martensite layer during the following rapid cooling process, which may lead to cracking and then spalling on the wheel tread surface. The decrease in carbon contents of the train wheel steel helps inhibit the formation of martensite by increasing the austenitizing temperature of the train wheel steel. When the carbon contents decrease from 07% to 04%, the Ac3 of the wheel steel is increased by 45 ℃, and the thickness of the martensite layer is decreased by 30%, which is helpful in reducing the thermal cycling fatigue of the train wheel tread such as spalling.

Many strip materials are coiled after rolling process. The stresses are imposed on the material wound on the automatically controlled collapse mandrel under the coiling tension. The coiling process can be described by three typical cases: winding without automatic adjustment, winding with automatic adjustment and after mandrel removal. A new model of equations for predicting the stresses during the strip coiling process is built by consideration of the three cases respectively. By solving the equations of different typical cases, the radial stresses and tangential stress of the layers of coil can be calculated. Also, the coiling parameters, such as strip thickness, coiling tension and necking critical pressure, affecting the coil performance are investigated. It is believed that the present model can be used for design and control of the automatically controlled collapse mandrel.
