3 Classification and code
3.1 Classification
Axle billets are classified into two types according to their uses: axle billets for
railway locomotives and axle billets for wagons.
3.2 Code
Code of axle billet for locomotive: JZ (JZ is the Chinese Pinyin prefix for the
locomotive axle);
Code of the axle billet for wagon: LZ (LZ is the Chinese Pinyin prefix for the
wagon axle).
4 Size, shape, weight, allowable deviation
4.1 Size and allowable deviation
4.1.1 The cross-section size and allowable deviation of square steel shall meet
the requirements of Table 1.
4.1.2 The cross-section size and allowable deviation of round steel shall meet
the requirements of Table 2.
4.1.3 The fixed-length or multiple-length of the axle billet shall be determined
by the agreement between the supplier and the buyer and shall be indicated in
the contract. The allowable deviation between fixed-length and multiple-length
is 0 mm ~ 80 mm.
4.1.4 Forged steel shall be used for square steel with side length not less than
320 mm; rolled or forged steel shall be used for square steel with side length
below 320 mm.
4.1.5 Axle billets of other specifications and deviations can be supplied upon
agreement between the supplier and the buyer and indicated in the contract.
5.1.3 Upon agreement between the supplier and the buyer and indicated in the
contract, axle billets of other designations and chemical compositions can be
supplied.
5.2 Smelting and rolling, forging
5.2.1 The steel billets for the manufacture of axles shall be smelted in an electric
arc furnace or a converter; meanwhile subjected to external refining and
vacuum degassing treatment.
5.2.2 The billets after hot rolling or forging shall be stacked for cooling or put in
pits for slow cooling and annealing.
5.2.3 The rolling ratio from ingot to axle billet shall not be less than 6:1; the
forging ratio shall not be less than 3:1; the rolling ratio or forging ratio from
continuous casting billet to axle billet shall not be less than 3:1. For LZ50, the
rolling ratio or forging ratio of continuous casting billet to axle is not less than
3:1.
5.3 Delivery status
Axle billets are delivered in hot rolled or forged state. When the buyer has
special needs, it shall be indicated in the contract.
5.4 Macrostructure
There shall be no visible white spots, cracks, residual shrinkage holes,
delamination, under-skin blisters, internal blisters, inclusions (non-metallic and
dissimilar metals), peeling, intergranular cracks, bright strip, etc., on the
horizontal acid-leached macrostructure test piece of the axle steel billet. The
grade of acid-leached macrostructure shall meet the requirements of Table 5.
Table 5 -- The grade of acid-leaching macrostructure
5.5 Non-metallic inclusions
The inspection of non-metallic inclusions in the axle billet shall be evaluated
according to the method A in GB/T 10561-2005; the inspection results shall
meet the requirements of Table 6.
Table 9 -- Mechanical properties
5.7 Grain size
5.7.1 Sampling position
The grain size specimen shall be taken from the undeformed large end of the
tensile specimen or sampled at the position of the tensile specimen, as shown
in Figure A.1 and Figure A.2, from the heat-treated sample billet.
5.7.2 Grain size of high-quality carbon structural steel
The specimen made of the undeformed large end or sample billet of the tensile
sample after a normalizing heat treatment shall have a grain size grade of 5 or
finer.
5.7.3 Grain size of alloy structural steel
According to the requirements of GB/T 6394, the austenite grain size of the axle
billet shall be tested. The grain grade shall be 6 or finer, meanwhile the
difference between the highest and the lowest grades shall not exceed 3.
5.8 Ultrasonic flaw detection
According to the requirements of the buyer, the axle billets for wagons can be
ultrasonically tested after negotiation between the supplier and the buyer and
indicated in the contract. Locomotive axle billets shall be tested by ultrasonic
flaw detection one by one in case of exit-factory. Ultrasonic testing and
evaluation shall be carried out according to GB/T 7736. For locomotive axle
billet, the defect equivalent value is ≤ ϕ 3.2 mm; for wagon axle billet, the defect
equivalent value shall be based on the requirements of the buyer. The quality
certificate indicates that the flaw detection is qualified.
5.9 Surface quality
(if the heat treatment performance is unqualified, it is allowed to readjust the
heat treatment once to inspect the mechanical properties; the billet is judged as
qualified if the inspection is qualified). In addition, select two A-segment axle
billets from the remaining batch of axle billets for the re-inspection of the
unqualified item (white dots are not allowed to re-inspect). If the re-inspection
result is qualified, the remaining axle billets of the batch are qualified. When
one of the indicators in the re-inspection result (including any index required by
the test of this item) is unqualified, all A-segment axle billets of the batch are
judged as unqualified. In this case, samples can be taken from the non-marked
end of any two A-segment billets or the marked end of the B-segment billet for
the full item test. When one specimen fails, the batch of axle billets is judged as
unqualified; when the test results are all qualified, all axle billets except the A-
segment axle billets are qualified.
For continuous casting axle billets, if one of the test results does not meet the
requirements of the technical conditions of this standard, this axle billet is
scrapped (if the heat treatment performance is unqualified, it is allowed to
readjust the heat treatment once to check the mechanical properties. After the
inspection is qualified, the billet is judged to be qualified). Then sample the
billets from the other two axle billets of the same batch for re-inspection of
unqualified items (white dots are not allowed for re-inspection). One of the re-
inspection billets shall be sampled from the axle billets rolled by the same
casting billet, the other re-inspection sample billet shall be taken from the axle
billets rolled by other casting billets. When the re-inspection results of the two
re-inspection samples meet the requirements, the batch of axle billets shall be
judged as qualified. Otherwise, the batch of axle billets shall be rejected.
If the impact test results do not meet the requirements, 3 more specimens shall
be taken from the same sampled product for testing. The average value of the
6 samples in succession shall not be less than the specified value in Table 5;
two of the specimens are allowed to be below the specified value, but only one
specimen is allowed to be less than 70% of the specified value.
Other requirements for re-inspection and determination of axle billets shall be
implemented in accordance with GB/T 17505.
8 Markings, quality certificates and packaging
8.1 Markings
8.1.1 The end surface of the continuous casting axle steel shall be marked with
the stream number (such as: 1, 2, ...), the piece number (indicated by 01, 02, ...
starting from the first billet); the stream number and piece number are allowed
to be compiled continuously (such as: 101, 102, ...). The end face of the die-
casting axle steel that is equivalent to the head of the ingot near the cap mouth
