A Chromium-Vanadium Alloyed Railsteel for Heavy Duty Requirements
Abstract:
Additions of 0.12 to 0.18% vanadium have allowed the production of rail steels with strengths between 1100 and 1200 MPa (160 to 175 ksi). The production and rolling of these steels are described in this paper. In addition, the properties of these steels are correlated with their performance on proving track in tests conducted by the Railway Association.
