Test example 1
The samples prepared in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were polished with sandpaper, then corroded with 3% nitric acid alcohol, and then the microstructure was observed with a metallographic microscope, and the results were shown in fig. 2-a to 2-g. Wherein FIG. 2-a is comparative example 1, FIG. 2-b is comparative example 2, FIG. 2-c is comparative example 3, FIG. 2-d is comparative example 4, FIG. 2-e is example 1, FIG. 2-f is example 2, and FIG. 2-g is example 3. As can be seen from FIGS. 2-a to 2-g, the rolled structure of comparative example 1 consists of a pearlite structure with a large lamellar spacing, and a clear lamellar structure can be seen under a microscope, while the distribution of network cementite can be seen at grain boundaries, as indicated by arrows; the pearlite structure of the factory-heat-treated hypereutectoid steel rail of comparative example 2 is still coarse, although being refined compared with the rolled state, the obvious interlayer spacing can still be seen under a microscope, and meanwhile, a small amount of reticular cementite is precipitated at the grain boundary; the pearlite interlamellar spacing of comparative examples 3 and 4 was still coarse and the pearlite interlamellar spacing was still visible in the lower part region under the microscope. Compared with comparative examples 1 to 4, the pearlite interlamellar spacing of examples 1 to 3 is obviously refined, the lamellar structure of pearlite cannot be basically seen under a microscope, and obvious reticular cementite precipitation cannot be observed at grain boundaries.
The distances between the pearlite layers in the SEM photographs of comparative examples 3 to 4 and examples 1 to 3 were counted by a line-cut method, and the average value was obtained, and the content of cementite was measured by software, and the obtained results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 pearlite interlamellar spacing and cementite content
Figure BDA0002512761760000061
As can be seen from table 1, as the isothermal time increases from 30s to 60s, the transformation time becomes longer, the pearlite lamellar spacing increases, and the cementite content decreases. On the premise of constant isothermal temperature and isothermal time, the supercooling degree is increased by increasing the cooling speed, the phase change driving force is increased, and the pearlite inter-lamellar spacing is reduced. However, when the cooling rate reaches a certain value, the inter-lamellar spacing is slightly increased, because the phase change of the pearlite phase into the diffusion-type phase change, the improvement of the cooling rate improves the supercooling degree, but reduces the diffusion rate of carbon atoms, and the combined action of the two finally increases the inter-lamellar spacing of the pearlite phase slightly.
Test example 2
According to GB/T228.1-2010 part 1 of the tensile test of metallic materials: room temperature test method, in which a room temperature tensile test was conducted on a GNT300 electronic universal tester at a tensile rate of 0.6mm/min, and the tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and reduction of area of the samples prepared in examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were tested; then, a hardness tester is used according to GB/T231.1-2018 Brinell hardness test part 1 of metal materials: test methods the brinell hardness of each sample was determined. The results are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2 mechanical Property test results
Figure BDA0002512761760000071
As can be seen from Table 2, the hardness of the hypereutectoid steel rail after heat treatment is improved compared with that of the rolled steel rail and the heat treatment, the most influence is the isothermal temperature, and when the same isothermal time is 30s, the isothermal hardness at 600 ℃ is greatly improved compared with that at 630 ℃, because the isothermal temperature is low, the refinement degree of the pearlite interlamellar spacing is greater, and meanwhile, the percentage content of hard-phase cementite is also greater; with the increase of the cooling speed, the hardness change uniform process of the hypereutectoid steel rail is in a zigzag shape, the peak value appears at the cooling speed of 8 ℃/s, the hardness at the cooling speed of 10 ℃/s is higher than that at the cooling speed of 5 ℃/s, and the hardness change is consistent with the change of the pearlite lamellar spacing, which shows that the hardness of the refined pearlite lamellar spacing can be effectively improved; by comparing the hardness corresponding to two isothermal times in 600 ℃ isothermal process, the longer the isothermal time is, the lower the hardness of hypereutectoid steel rail is, because the excessively long isothermal time causes the growth of pearlite, so that the interlamellar spacing of the pearlite is increased; example 1 achieved a maximum hardness of 415HB, which was 36.1% higher than the rolled state and 20.3% higher than the hotter treated state.
Test example 3
The microscopic SEM morphologies of tensile fractures of the samples prepared in examples 1-3 and comparative examples 1-4 are shown in FIGS. 3-a-3-g. Wherein, FIG. 3-a is a microscopic SEM topography of a tensile fracture of comparative example 1, FIG. 3-b is a microscopic SEM topography of a tensile fracture of comparative example 2, FIG. 3-c is a microscopic SEM topography of a tensile fracture of comparative example 3, FIG. 3-d is a microscopic SEM topography of a tensile fracture of comparative example 4, FIG. 3-e is a microscopic SEM topography of a tensile fracture of example 1, FIG. 3-f is a microscopic SEM topography of a tensile fracture of example 2, and FIG. 3-g is a microscopic SEM topography of a tensile fracture of example 3. Comparative examples 1 to 4 (FIGS. 3-a, 3-b, 3-c, 3-d) all consisted of cleavage planes, river patterns and tear edges and partial secondary cracks, the type of which is an obvious cleavage fracture, a brittle fracture. Whereas the cleavage plane of example 3 (fig. 3-g) is significantly smaller, the tear edges are shorter and the number is increased, while a certain number of dimples are observed, but the dimples are smaller in size and shallower in depth, so the fracture mode belongs to quasi-cleavage fracture and still to brittle fracture. The micro-sections of example 1 (fig. 3-e) and example 2 (fig. 3-f) exhibited a large number of tearing dimples, the surface was cellular, and the size and depth of the dimples were increased compared to example 3, and the fracture was ductile. As can be seen from FIGS. 3-a to 3-g, the rolled fracture is brittle fracture, while the heat-treated fracture gradually changes from brittle fracture to ductile fracture.
As can be seen from the above examples and comparative examples, the microstructure of the hypereutectoid steel rail after heat treatment is significantly changed from the rolled state. The pearlite lamellar spacing is gradually reduced along with the reduction of isothermal temperature and isothermal time; with the acceleration of the cooling speed, the pearlite lamellar spacing is firstly greatly reduced and then slightly increased; the mechanical property of the hypereutectoid steel rail after heat treatment is improved compared with that of a rolled state and a heat treatment state; the lower the isothermal temperature is, the higher the hardness and the tensile strength are; the shorter the isothermal time, the higher the hardness and tensile strength. The rolled fracture is brittle fracture, and the heat treated fracture is ductile fracture. With the increase of the cooling rate, the decrease of the isothermal temperature and the decrease of the isothermal time, the fracture type is transited from brittle fracture to ductile fracture. The heat treatment method provided by the invention can effectively refine the lamellar spacing of pearlite, simultaneously avoid the occurrence of network cementite in crystal boundary and is beneficial to improving the mechanical property of hypereutectoid steel rails.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
