2、e year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers seven classes of carbon steeltires for railway and rapid transit use.1.1.1 Class

3、 AFor untreated driving tires for locomotivesin passenger service.1.1.2 Class AHTFor heat-treated driving tires for locomo-tives in passenger service.1.1.3 Class BFor untreated driving tires for freight loco-motives and tires for locomotive-truck, tender-truck, trailer andcar wheels, and miscellaneo

4、us service.1.1.4 Class BHTFor heat-treated driving tires for freightlocomotives and tires for trailer wheels.1.1.5 Class CFor untreated tires for switching locomo-tives.1.1.6 Class CHTFor heat-treated driving tires and switch-ing locomotives and tires for locomotive-trucks, tender-trucks,trailer and

5、 car wheels, and miscellaneous service.1.1.7 Class DHTFor heat-treated driving tires for loco-motives with light braking conditions, heavily loaded trailertires, and rapid transit wheels where off-tread brakes areemployed.1.2 Supplementary requirements, including those in thegeneral requirements of

6、Specification A 788/A 788M, are pro-vided for use when additional testing or inspection is desired.These shall apply only when specified individually by thepurchaser in the order.1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound or SI (metric)units are to be regarded separately as standards. Within the tex

7、tand tables the SI units are shown in brackets. The values statedin each system are not exact equivalents; therefore each systemmust be used independently of the other. Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result in nonconformance with thespecification.1.4 Unless the order specifies the applicab

8、le “M” specifica-tion designation, the tires shall be furnished to the inch-poundunits.2.

15、nited States.4. Chemical Requirements4.1 Chemical CompositionThe steel shall conform to therequirements for chemical composition specified in Table 1,unless otherwise required by the purchaser (see 3.2.4).4.1.1 The purchaser may use the product analysis provisionsof Specification A 788/A 788M for ti

16、res produced to therequirements of Table 1. By agreement with the manufacturer,these provisions may be used also when the provisions of 3.2.4apply.5. Manufacture5.1 DiscardSufficient discard shall be made from eachingot to assure freedom from piping and undue segregation.5.2 Post Forge CoolingAll ti

17、res, immediately after beingrolled, shall be slow cooled in a manner to accomplish propertransformation without damage.5.3 Heat Treatment:5.3.1 Classes AHT, BHT, CHT, and DHT shall be heated toand held at the proper temperature for a sufficient time to effectthe desired transformation and then shall

18、 be immersed in asuitable quenching medium.5.3.2 Following quenching, the tires shall be charged into afurnace for tempering to meet the hardness requirements of6.1.1, and then cooled under suitable conditions.6. Hardness Requirement6.1 Classes AHT, BHT, CHT, and DHT shall be accepted onthe basis of

19、 a Brinell hardness test on the front face of 10 % ofthe tires from each heat at a location approximately 1 in. 25mm below the tread.6.1.1 The tires shall conform to the following limits:Class AHT BHT CHT DHTBrinellhardness223 to277255 to302285 to331321 to3636.1.2 Where continuous heat-treating furn

20、aces are used,should any of the tested tires fail to meet the hardnessrequirements of 6.1.1, the manufacturer may offer for indi-vidual hardness measurements, all of the tires of that heat in thelot for inspection. Those meeting the hardness requirements of6.1.1 shall be accepted.6.1.3 Where batch h

21、eat-treating furnaces are used, shouldany of the tires fail to meet the requirements of 6.1.1, themanufacturer may offer all of the tires in the heat treatment lotfor individual hardness measurement. Those meeting the hard-ness requirements of 6.1.1 shall be accepted.7. Reheat Treatment7.1 The heat

22、treatment of any tires failing to meet thespecified hardness may be repeated in accordance with 5.3.1and retested in accordance with Section 6.8. Mating8.1 The tires shall be grouped according to outside diameterand shipped in sets.8.2 The variation in outside diameters in each set shall notexceed11

23、6 in. 1.5 mm for tires 33 in. 825 mm or under inoutside diameter, nor exceed332 in. 2.5 mm for tires over 33in. 825 mm in outside diameter.9. Permissible Variations in Dimensions9.1 Tires may be furnished with all surfaces as-rolled, andshall conform to the dimensions specified. When not specified,t

24、he following tolerances are acceptable:9.1.1 Height of FlangeThe flange height shall not be less,but may be116 in. 1.5 mm more, than that specified.9.1.2 Thickness of FlangeThe flange thickness shall notvary more than116 in. 1.5 mm from that specified.9.1.3 Radius of ThroatThe throat radius shall no

25、t varymore than18 in. 3 mm over, nor more than116 in. 1.5 mmunder, that specified.9.1.4 Width of TiresThe tire width may be316 in. 4.8mm more than that specified.9.1.5 Inside DiameterFor shrink fit tires, the rough insidediameter shall not be more, but may be14 in. 6 mm less, thanthat specified. Whe

26、n the finished inside diameter only isspecified, the rough diameter shall be from316 to716 in. 5 to11 mm less than this diameter.9.1.6 Outside DiameterUnless otherwise specified forshrink fit tires, the outside diameter, when 54 in. 1350 mm orunder, shall not be less, but may be12 in. 12.5 mm more t
