Full title and description

Railway rolling stock material — Part 6: Solid wheels for tractive and trailing stock — Technical delivery conditions. This ISO standard specifies technical delivery requirements for solid wheels made of unalloyed steels used on locomotives and rolling stock, covering material, properties, inspection and marking.

Abstract

Specifies requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, appearance and soundness, machining allowance and dimensional tolerances, residual imbalance and marking for rolled, forged or cast solid wheels of unalloyed steels. It also sets out purchaser information, classification, manufacture, inspection and delivery provisions and includes an annex describing a procedure for shot peening web surfaces; the general technical delivery requirements of ISO 404 are applicable.

Scope

Covers the technical delivery conditions for solid wheels intended for tractive and trailing railway stock: chemical and mechanical requirements for unalloyed-steel wheels, dimensional and machining tolerances, allowable residual imbalance, surface and internal soundness, marking and documentation to be supplied by the purchaser, plus inspection and delivery procedures. Annex A gives a recommended shot-peening procedure for wheel webs.

Key topics and requirements

• Chemical composition limits and material designation for unalloyed-steel wheels.
• Mechanical property specifications (tensile/impact requirements as applicable).
• Appearance, internal soundness and non‑destructive test/inspection requirements.
• Machining allowance and dimensional tolerances for finished wheels.
• Permissible residual imbalance and balancing requirements.
• Marking, documentation and information to be supplied by the purchaser.
• Annex A: procedure for shot peening of wheel web surfaces.
• Reference to the general technical delivery requirements contained in ISO 404.

Typical use and users

Used by railway vehicle manufacturers, wheel and axle producers, procurement/specification engineers, quality and inspection teams, maintenance organizations and testing laboratories involved in manufacture, acceptance and supply of solid wheels for locomotives and rolling stock.

Related standards

Part of the ISO 1005 series for railway wheel and tyre/wheel components; other relevant parts include ISO 1005-2 (tyres, wheel centres and tyred wheels — dimensional, balancing and assembly requirements) and ISO 1005-4/1005-8 which cover related quality and dimensional requirements. The standard explicitly refers to the general technical delivery requirements in ISO 404.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 1005-6:1994 is an international standard that sets the technical delivery conditions for solid wheels used on tractive and trailing railway stock, covering material, mechanical properties, inspection and delivery requirements.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers chemical composition, mechanical properties, appearance and soundness, machining allowance, dimensional tolerances, permissible residual imbalance, marking and purchaser-supplied information, plus inspection and delivery procedures; Annex A gives a shot‑peening procedure.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Wheel manufacturers, rolling stock builders, procurement and QA engineers, maintenance organizations and test laboratories involved in specifying, manufacturing, accepting or maintaining solid wheels.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Edition 2 (1994) is recorded as published and was last reviewed and confirmed in 2021, so the 1994 edition remains the current ISO record at the time of the last systematic review. The 1982 edition was withdrawn and replaced by the 1994 edition.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the ISO 1005 series dealing with railway rolling stock material (wheels, tyres, wheel centres and related delivery and quality requirements). Related parts (for example ISO 1005-2, ISO 1005-4, ISO 1005-8) cover dimensional, balancing and quality requirements for tyres, wheel centres and solid wheels.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: railway wheels, solid wheels, technical delivery conditions, unalloyed steel wheels, machining allowance, dimensional tolerances, residual imbalance, shot peening, ISO 404, ISO 1005.
