Around the beginning of the 1980s, I worked in a forge producing train wheels. Canadian Steel Wheel (CSW) in Montreal. The process was almost similar, except the machines were less robotic. Each ingot went through seven hydraulic presses to form the final shape of a train wheel. Noise was everywhere in this factory, especially the foundry department with its two gigantic electric arc furnaces. The electric arc needed to melt the steel produced a noise comparable to that of thunder, or an explosion. To give you an idea of the noise these furnaces produce, look on KZbin for the video titled: (3 minutes of power-on - by sentinel76). In this video, you can even see (on the left) the power supply wires moving by the sheer force of the current flowing through them.

Seven? Not surprising. This "round" thingie is amazingly complicated. Can you imagine, they have to take off all the corners -- no matter how many there are! Imagine some worker who has trained on triangles and then been transferred to squares? There could be all sorts of trains out there with one-cornered wheels made by this poor untrained newbie.

Train wheels receive the highest quality materials, forging and machining technologically possible and surpass all parts used in trucks and cars by a large margin. They have to because once they become rolling stock they are on their own for the bulk of their operational lifetime. There is no periodic maintenance ever.

Not mentioned was the fact that China got its high speed train wheels from Germany before, but Germany stopped supplying these wheels so, for China, necessity is the beginning of reality for China and making their own wheels. The same goes for aircraft tires. We saw the US pull out the supply of engines for the C919 and necessity again made China develop its own engines. That same process of developing capabilities that were once imported is becoming a habit for China. The biggest sector seeing this happen is with semiconductors as China fabs its own chips now and outproducing the US. The US is losing its semiconductor exports to China big time as the US restricts high end high margin chips and China fabs its own mature node chips that creates a falling exports to China for the US. Self sufficiency is the name of the game now and the US needs to scramble especially on sourcing raw materials. China is way ahead of the US in that department and the fact of the matter is that China supplies 50% or more of critical minerals to the US and if China decides to limit these exports, the US will suffer. Already, China has restricted exports of gallium, germanium, cobalt, and rare earth processing IP to the US.

Layer after layer, rubber , cord (kevlar). No steel belts on aircraft tires. Weight reduction. They all have a wear limit layer of red cord. Landings produce flat spots, Over all the tred can be good, but hit the same pot too many times the red cord shows up. The tire is bad. There are other factors such as , cuts, punctures, delamination / chunks missing. All have a difffernt set of go, no go criteria.

Siempelkemp and Heylignestaedt are still in business and specialize in big machine requirements. Both companies would easily provide custom equipment for specific applications as is the case here for railway wheels. .

DANGEROUS WHEEL PRODUCTION METHODS ! The American method of producing railway wheels as seen in this programme, is PROHIBITED in Britain. For the simple reason that if you make a railway wheel by squashing a circle of metal to produce the wheel, it then has to have a hole cut in its centre for the axle. But as a result of the constant pounding of railway wheels when in use, this type of wheel is notorious for fracturing from the axle hole outwards, as a result of metal fatigue . A Critically dangerous scenario, as this can happen quickly. In Britain train wheels have to be made by taking a long narrow strip of metal and rolling it up, while still red hot, to make the wheel disc. This method avoids the fracturing that can occur from the axle to the wheel rim (due to metal fatigue). Instead, any metal fatigue will result in a slow fracture following the original line of the rolled up metal, around and around the wheel disc. As this takes far longer before it becomes dangerous, detection is 99% more likely !!!
