In this paper, the wear property of ER8 and SSW-Q3R wheel steel under pure rolling condition was studied by GMP-30 wear tester. The results showed that the wear loss of the ER8 wheel steel was higher than that of the SSW-Q3R wheel steel at the same cycles. The high carbon content of the SSW-Q3R improved the surface hardness during rolling wear. The high hardness increased the wear resistance of the SSW-Q3R wheel steel. During rolling wear, the fatigue wear resistance of ER8 wheel was worse than that of the SSW-Q3R wheel steel due to more proeutectoid ferrite content in ER8 wheel steel. The surface residual stress of ER8 and SSW-Q3R wheel steel increased with the increase in cycles. The axial residual compressive stress on the surface of the sample was greater than the circumferential residual compressive stress. The residual stress at the trough was higher than that at the crest.
