Mobile Flash-butt Welding Method for 60kg/m R260 Hot-rolled Rail
Related Application(s)
This application claims priority from CN Application No. 201810834827.0 filed on 26 July
2018, the contents of which are to be taken as incorporated herein by this reference.
Technical Field
The Invention relates to the technical field of rail welding, in particular to a mobile flash-butt
welding method for 60kg/m R260 hot-rolled rail.
Background of the Invention
The rail flash-butt welding joint is composed of a welding zone and an adjacent rail base metal,
and the welding zone is divided into weld bond line and welding heat affected zone (HAZ). Further,
the HAZ can be roughly divided into a coarse-grained region, a fine-grained region and an
incomplete recrystallization region according to the distance from each point on the rail base metal
to the weld bond line. In particular, the coarse-grained region is also known as an overheated zone
with a temperature of around 1200°C and close to the partial melting region. In this region, the
grain size will be seriously coarse when the rail temperature exceeds 1100°C; moreover, the longer
the residence time, the wider the heating zone and the more serious the grain coarsening will be. As
a result, Widmannstatten structure can be easily formed in the subsequent cooling process. The
coarse-grained region is characterized by the embrittlement of coarse grains and thus is the weakest
link in a welded joint. The fine-grained region is a phase-transformation recrystallization region and
also known as a normalized region. In this region, the temperature ranges from Ac3 to 100 0 °C,
ferrite and pearlite of rail metal are totally transformed into austenite, and metal grains are uniform
and fine after cooling. The incomplete recrystallization region is also known as a partial
phase-transformation region with the temperature ranging from Acl to Ac3, and characterized by
different grain sizes and uneven microstructure. In view of these characteristics inherent to the
welding process such as high heating temperature, fast heating speed, short high-temperature
residence time, uneven distribution of local heating temperature and continuous cooling under
natural conditions, the structural transformation of a joint especially in the HAZ will inevitably be
given some laws and characteristics different from rail rolling, and then create different forms of
microstructure (even bainite, martensite and other harmful microstructure) around the weld bond
line, thus causing a large difference in its mechanical properties. The wider the HAZ is, the more obvious the difference is. In the existing domestic and foreign standards or technical specifications for rail flash-butt welding, the HAZ width of rail is clearly defined. The narrower the HAZ is; the more favorable it is to reduce the occurrence of harmful microstructure, and the smoother the transition between the base metal and the welding zone is. At present, the common practice over the word is to clamp and conduct the rail by clamping the rail webs, and use the pulse flash-butt welding technology. However, the mechanical properties of the rail is greatly affected due to uneven total width of the HAZ of the welded 60kg/m R260 hot-rolled rail joint, frequent "bulging" at the rail webs of the joint, large total width of the HAZ, and large difference between the maximum and the minimum value. A reference herein to a patent document or any other matter identified as prior art, is not to be taken as an admission that the document or other matter was known or that the information it contains was part of the common general knowledge as at the priority date of any of the claims. Summary of the Invention Embodiments of the invention may provide a mobile flash-butt welding method suitable for welding two rail butts together, wherein each rail butt is made of 60kg/m R260 hot-rolled rail, which effectively controls the width of the heat affected zone, reduce internal defects of rail structure and improve the welding quality.
