EN 13979-1:2003 (E) 5 Introduction To date, UIC regulations specified that for a wheel to be used in Europe: its design had to be standardized; it had to conform to the quality requirements of UIC leaflet 812-3. In order to be able to adapt to new railway working conditions, on the one hand, and to facilitate the introduction of new technical solutions, on the other, it has been necessary to replace the concept of standardization with the definition of specifications that a wheel design shall meet to be accepted on a European network. The standard covers these specifications and describes precisely how to assess the wheel design. To be able to apply these specifications, it is essential to define the use of the wheel; this standard also states how to define this use. At least four aspects are described with different purposes: a geometrical aspect: to allow interchangeability of different solutions for the same application; a thermomechanical aspect: to manage wheel deformations and to ensure that braking will not cause wheels to break; a mechanical aspect: to ensure that no fatigue cracks occur in the web; an acoustical aspect: to ensure that the solution chosen is as good as the reference wheel, for the use in question. For each of these three latter aspects, the rules proposed tend to limit the procedure, the easier the objectives are to attain by the wheel under study. This standard does not cover assessment of the hub nor of the static mechanical dimensioning of the wheel. SIST EN 13979-1:2004

1 Scope The aim of this European Standard is to define the requirements that a monobloc wheel of a freight of passenger railway vehicle non-powered axle shall meet in order to be able to be used on a European network. For wheels of powered axles or wheels with noise dampers, the requirements may be amended or supplemented. For light vehicles and tramways, other standards or documents accepted by the customer and supplier may be used. This European Standard only applies to wheels of new design. These requirements are intended to assess the validity of the design choice for the proposed use. The assessment of these requirements is the technical approval procedure. This European Standard is applicable to forged and rolled wheels for which the quality requirements are defined in prEN 13262. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).

Product requirement. 3 Parameters for the definition of the application covered The application for which the wheel is to be approved shall be defined by the following parameters. If the application parameters are changed for an approved wheel, the customer and supplier shall review the assessments. 3.1 Parameters for geometrical interchangeability The application shall be defined by geometrical interchangeabliity parameters divided into three categories according to whether they are linked to functional, assembly or maintenance requirements. 3.1.1 Functional requirements the nominal tread diameter that influences the buffer height and the loading gauge; the maximum rim width
linked to the points and crossing and the track brakes; SIST EN 13979-1:2004
EN 13979-1:2003 (E) 7 the tread profile outside the conical part of the tread; the position of the rim internal surface relative to the corresponding surface of the hub;
the conicity of the hub bore; the space required for disc brakes mounted on the wheel; the space needed on the bogie frame, braking equipment and suspension equipment. 3.1.2 Assembly requirements the bore diameter; the hub length to ensure overhanging of the hub on the wheelseat. 3.1.3 Maintenance requirements the wear limit diameter or the last reprofiling diameter; the wear groove shape; the geometry of the area for wheel clamping on reprofiling machines; the position and shape of the hole and groove for displacement under oil pressure; the general rim shape to allow ultrasonic measurement of residual stresses in wheels braked by shoes. 3.2 Parameters for thermomechanical assessment The application shall be defined by: the maximum braking energy created by the friction of the brake shoes on the rail surface. This energy may be defined by a power Pa, a time ta and a train speed Va during drag braking. If it is defined by other parameters (for braking to a stop, for example), these parameters are defined by agreement between the customer and the supplier; the type of brake shoes applied to the wheel (nature, dimensions and number). 3.3 Parameters for mechanical assessment The application shall be defined by: the maximum vertical static force
per wheelset; the type of service to be provided by the vehicles that will be fitted with the wheels to be approved: description of the lines: geometric quality of the tracks, curve parameters, maximum speeds . ; running times on these lines; the calculated service life of the wheel, in kilometres. SIST EN 13979-1:2004
EN 13979-1:2003 (E) 8 3.4 Parameters for acoustic assessment The application shall be defined by all the parameters influencing the noise emitted by the wheel and not directly involved in the design of the wheel to be approved, such as: the reference track on which the wheel is to run; the reference wheel to which the design will be compared; the reference rolling stock and one or more reference speeds; one or two surface roughness spectra representative of the range of operational values of the wheel under test. 4 Description of the wheel to be approved The designer of the wheel to be approved shall supply documentation comprising: the description of the fabrication process (forging, rolling, heat treatment,…); the definition of the wheel geometry (drawing); the following fabrication parameters, if they differ from those defined in prEN 13262: geometrical tolerances; surface finishes; steel grade; the parameters for defining the application for which the approval is requested. At the end of this technical approval procedure and before being put into service, a wheel shall be subjected to the product qualification procedure defined in prEN 13262.
5 Assessment of the geometrical interchangeability The wheel design shall conform to the requirements of 3.1. 6 Assessment of the thermomechanical behaviour 6.1 General procedure This assessment may comprise three stages. The transition from one stage to the next depends on the results obtained. The flowchart for this assessment is shown in normative annexe A. For each of the three stages, the test shall be carried out on a new rim (nominal tread diameter) and a worn rim (wear limit tread diameter). SIST EN 13979-1:2004
EN 13979-1:2003 (E) 9 In each case, new rim and worn rim, the web geometry of the tested wheels shall be the least favourable for thermomechanical behaviour within the geometrical tolerance ranges. The wheel designer shall prove, by numerical simulation, that the tested wheels give the worst results. If that is not the case, the numerical simulation shall allow the results that would be obtained on wheels not in the most unfavourable geometrical conditions to be corrected. In order to allow measurement of residual stress, the wheels to be tested shall not have either a wear limit groove or a bevel. NOTE For the moment, the calculation codes and thermomechanical parameters are too imprecise and not well known enough to be used as assessment parameters in a standard. In future, if this situation develops, a thermomechanical calculation should be made as the first stage of the assessment. 6.2 First stage – Braking bench test 6.2.1 Test procedure The test method and the measurements to be made are given in normative annex A. The power to be applied during this test shall be equal to 1,2 Pa (Pa is defined in 3.2). The duration of each drag braking period and the train speed are those defined in 3.2 (ta and Va). 6.2.2 Decision criteria Three criteria shall be met simultaneously for the wheel with the new rim and the wheel with the worn rim. Wheel with new rim: maximum lateral displacement of the rim during braking :+ 3 / -1 mm; level of residual stress in the rim after cooling: σrn ≤ + Σr N/mm2 as the average of three measurements; σin ≤ + (Σr + 50) N/mm2 for each measurement; maximum lateral displacement of the rim after cooling:+ 1,5 / - 0,5mm. Wheel with worn rim: maximum lateral displacement of the rim during braking :+ 3 / -1 mm; level of residual stress in the rim after cooling: σrw ≤ +(Σr + 75) N/mm2 as the average of three measurements; σiw ≤ +(Σr + 100) N/mm2 for each measurement; maximum lateral displacement of the rim after cooling:+ 1,5 / - 0,5mm. The value of Σr shall be defined according to the criteria of the wheel rim steel grade. For grades ER6 and ER7 of prEN 13262, Σr = 200 N/mm2. The lateral displacement is positive if the distance between the two inner faces of the wheel of the wheelset increases. SIST EN 13979-1:2004
EN 13979-1:2003 (E) 10 For domestic traffic, if the track tolerances differ from general tolerances used in Europe, other values of lateral displacement may be agreed between the parties concerned 6.3 Second stage – Wheel fracture bench test 6.3.1 General This second stage shall only be proceeded with if the residual stress levels measured during the first stage exceed the decision criteria. 6.3.2 Test procedure The test procedure is given in normative annex A. 6.3.3 Decision criterion The tested wheels shall not fracture. 6.4 Third stage – Field braking test 6.4.1 General This third stage shall be proceeded with if one of the results of the first stage does not meet the decision criteria and the wheel is not rejected after the second stage. 6.4.2 Test procedure The test method and the measurements to be taken are given in normative annex A. The power to be taken into account for this test is 1,2 Pa (Pa is defined in 3.2). The duration of each drag braking and the running speed of the train are those defined in 3.2 (ta et Va). 6.4.3 Decision criteria Three criteria shall be met simultaneously for the wheel with the new rim and the wheel with the worn rim. Wheel with new rim: maximum lateral displacement of the rim during braking :+ 3 / -1 mm; level of residual stress in the rim after the tests and after cooling: σrn ≤ + (Σr - 50) N/mm2 as the average of the three measurements σin ≤ + Σr N/mm2 for each of the measurements maximum lateral displacement of the rim after cooling: + 1,5 /- 0,5 mm. Wheel with worn rim: maximum lateral displacement of the rim during braking :+ 3 /-1 mm; level of residual stress in the rim after the tests and after cooling: SIST EN 13979-1:2004
EN 13979-1:2003 (E) 11 σrw ≤ + Σr
N/mm2 as the average of the three measurements; σiw ≤ + (Σr + 50) N/mm2 for each of the measurements; maximum lateral displacement of the rim after cooling: + 1,5 /- 0,5 mm The value of Σr shall be defined according to the criteria of the wheel rim steel grade. For grades ER6 and ER7 of prEN 13262, Σr = 200 N/mm2. The lateral displacement is positive if the distance between the two inner faces of the wheel of the wheelset increases. For domestic traffic, if the track tolerances differ from the general tolerances used in Europe, other values of lateral displacement may be agreed between the parties concerned 7 Assessment of the mechanical behaviour 7.1 General procedure This assessment may comprise two stages. The second stage is carried out depending on the results of the first stage. The purpose of this assessment is to ensure that there will be no risk of fatigue cracking either in the wheel web or in its connections with the hub or the rim during the service life of the wheel. Both for the calculation and the test, the wheel geometry shall the least favourable with regard to the mechanical behaviour. If that is not the case for the test, the test parameters shall be corrected by the calculation. The flowchart for this assessment is shown in normative annex B. 7.2 First stage - Calculation 7.2.1 Applied forces Conventional forces shall be used. They are calculated on the basis of the value of load P. Load P is defined in EN 13103. It is half the vertical force per wheelset on the rail. On the basis of the parameters necessary for the mechanical assessment defined in 3.3, additional forces shall be used if these parameters generate greater forces (for example,. tilting trains, curve parameters, frozen track, etc…). Three load cases shall be considered (see Figure 1): Case 1:
straight track (centred wheelset)
Fz = 1,25 P
Fy1 = 0 Case 2: curve
