Scope
GB/T 8601-2021 is the English-translated version of 铁路用辗钢整体车轮.
GB/T 8601-2021 is the Chinese standard for forged and rolled solid steel wheels used on railway vehicles with a maximum operating speed of not more than 250 km/h and an axle load of not more than 33 t.
It covers the classification of wheels into levels 1, 2 and 3 by axle load and speed, dimensional and geometric tolerances, and technical requirements, including the wheel steel grades CL50, CL55, CL65 and CL70 added in this edition, mechanical properties, non-metallic inclusions, macrostructure, ultrasonic testing and shot peening.
It also sets inspection methods and rules, type tests, marking, delivery and the quality certificate, with annexes on hydrogen in the steel, fatigue performance, residual stress under the tread and unbalance removal.
It replaces GB/T 8601-1988, was issued on 11 October 2021 and has applied since 1 May 2022.

Foreword
This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for Standardization Work Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents" Drafting.
This document replaces GB/T 8601-1988 "Rolled Steel Integral Wheels for Railways". This document is compared with GB/T 8601-1988, except for the structure In addition to sexual adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
a) Added the 1, 2, and 3 wheel levels classified by axle load and speed, and cancelled the classification regulations for A and B wheels (see Chapter 4, Chapter 3 of the 1988 edition);
b) The regulations on wheel size specifications have been deleted (see 4.1 in the 1988 edition);
c) Four wheel steel grades, CL50, CL55, CL65, and CL70, have been added, and CL45MnSiV wheel steel grades have been deleted (see 6.1, 5.1 of the 1988 edition);
d) Added requirements for wheel web tensile performance, -20°C rim impact toughness, rim surface hardness, and heat treatment uniformity requirements, deleted -60°C web toughness, drop weight test, etc. (see 6.3, 5.4.2 of the 1988 edition);
e) The level requirements for non-metallic inclusions have been changed (see 6.5, 5.7 in the 1988 edition);
f) The requirements for low-power organization have been changed (see 6.6, 5.6 of the 1988 edition);
g) The requirements for ultrasonic flaw detection have been changed (see 6.7, 5.8 in the 1988 edition);
h) Changed shot peening requirements (see 6.10, 5.11 of the 1988 edition);
i) Added wheel type test requirements (see 7.4);
j) Added the detection content of liquid hydrogen content in wheel steel (see Appendix A);
k) Added fatigue performance requirements and test content (see Appendix B);
l) Added the strain gauge method to determine the change of the circumferential residual stress deep under the tread (destructive test method) (see Appendix C);
m) Added the content of unbalance removal method (see Appendix D).
