Description

Construction method for heat treatment of post-welded joints of dissimilar steel rails
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of post-weld heat treatment of steel rails, and particularly relates to a construction method for heat treatment of post-weld joints of dissimilar steel rails.
Background
At present, heavy haul railway lines at home and abroad mostly adopt eutectoid pearlite steel rails, the carbon content of the steel rails is usually within the range of 0.72-0.82% by weight, and the steel rails have the characteristics of good obdurability matching, moderate comprehensive mechanical property index and the like, and the metallographic structure is pearlite. With the rapid development of railways, heavy-duty lines with large axle loads have higher requirements on the service performance of steel rails. As the comprehensive mechanical property and the welding property of the traditional pearlite steel rail are almost developed to the limit, under the condition, the strength grade is higher, the bainite steel rail with good wear resistance and contact fatigue resistance is produced at the same time, the carbon content of the steel rail is usually within the range of 0.20-0.30% by weight, and the metallographic structure is a complex phase structure consisting of bainite, a small amount of martensite (or martensite island) and residual austenite. At present, steel rail mobile flash welding has become the mainstream steel rail on-line welding technology in railway construction sites at home and abroad, and for two kinds of steel rails with different strength grades and materials, the difference between the properties of parent metals brings great challenges to the welding. In addition, after the rail is subjected to welding heat cycle, the hardened layer of the welding area disappears and low hardness areas with larger width are formed on two sides of the welding seam, so that the hardness of the welding seam and the heat affected area is lower than that of the rail base metal. In the service process of a steel rail, saddle-shaped abrasion is easily formed on the head tread of a welded joint preferentially, so that the impact of a wheel rail is increased, the service life of the steel rail is seriously influenced, and even the driving safety is endangered. Therefore, the precondition for the application of the steel rail is that how to recover the mechanical property of the steel rail reduced by welding.

The dissimilar steel rail welding joint obtained by the method can meet the current national railway industry standard TB/T1632.2-2014 steel rail welding part 2: flash welding is the test requirement for fatigue, tensile, impact and static bending tests. However, the invention relates to the process of normalizing heat treatment after welding the steel rail, and needs to adopt the heat treatment equipment after welding the steel rail to locally heat the welded joint of the steel rail, so that the operation and implementation processes are complex, and the cost is higher.
201210394058.X discloses a heat treatment method of a bainite steel rail, which comprises the steps of naturally cooling a steel rail after finish rolling so as to reduce the surface temperature of a rail head of the steel rail to 460-490 ℃; forcibly cooling the steel rail at the cooling speed of 2.0-4.0 ℃/s so as to reduce the surface layer temperature of the rail head of the steel rail to 250-290 ℃; naturally raising the temperature of the steel rail until the surface temperature of the rail head of the steel rail reaches more than 300 ℃; placing the steel rail in a heating furnace with the hearth temperature of 300-350 ℃ for tempering treatment for 2-6 h; and cooling the steel rail to room temperature in air. The invention aims to obtain a bainite steel rail with good comprehensive mechanical properties, belongs to a steel rail production heat treatment process, and is not suitable for postweld heat treatment of a bainite and pearlite steel rail welding joint.
201810480790.6 discloses a heat treatment method after welding for bainite welded joint, which is to cool the surface temperature of the welded joint tread to be cooled to a temperature range of 850-500 ℃ and then wind cool the rail head part of the joint, and when the surface temperature of the tread is cooled to 270-210 ℃, wind cool is finished, and the joint is naturally cooled to room temperature. The method is characterized in that air cooling is directly carried out on the joint after the bainite steel rail is welded, no heating process is carried out after the steel rail is welded, and the heat treatment effect is uncertain.
CN201410135909.8 discloses a heat treatment method of bainite steel rail welded joint and introduces the heat treatment principle of steel rail joint, in the post-welding heat treatment process, the steel rail joint needs to be heated to above austenitizing temperature, and compressed air is taken as cooling medium to carry out rapid cooling on the welding area so as to recover the mechanical property of the steel rail reduced by welding; however, the method does not describe the specific impact toughness value of the bainite welded joint, and the method is applicable to bainite steel rails with the same material, and is not applicable to dissimilar joints formed by welding the bainite steel rail and eutectoid pearlite steel rail.
CN201810581145.3 discloses a postweld heat treatment method for a hypereutectoid steel rail and eutectoid steel rail welded joint, CN201810720765.0 discloses a heat treatment method for a steel rail welded joint, and CN201810710040.3 discloses a heat treatment method for a dissimilar material steel rail welded joint, which introduce the postweld heat treatment method for the hypereutectoid steel rail and eutectoid steel rail welded joint, but the structures of the hypereutectoid steel rail and the eutectoid steel rail are mainly pearlite, the postweld heat treatment principle is that compressed air or water mist mixed gas is used as a cooling medium, and the rail joint at austenitizing temperature is rapidly cooled to achieve the purpose of thinning the pearlite interlayer spacing and improve the thermoplasticity of the rail welding area, and is not suitable for the joint formed by welding bainite and eutectoid steel rail.
In summary, in the field of railway engineering, a construction method suitable for heat treatment of welded joints of dissimilar steel rails is urgently needed to improve the tread hardness of the steel rails reduced by welding and improve the impact toughness of the steel rail joints so as to ensure the service performance and the railway operation safety of the welded joints of the dissimilar steel rails.

Detailed Description
In the invention, the martensite transformation critical cooling speed in the continuous cooling process of the bainite rail steel is 0.8-1.2 ℃/s, and the Ms temperature (the start temperature of martensite formation) of the rail steel is 330-370 ℃; the critical cooling speed of martensite transformation in the continuous cooling process of the eutectoid pearlite rail steel is 1.0-1.5 ℃/s, and the Ms temperature (the start temperature of martensite formation) of the rail steel is 220-280 ℃. In order to avoid the occurrence of abnormal structures such as martensite in the welded joint of the steel rail, when the welded joint of the bainite steel rail and the eutectoid pearlite steel rail is subjected to postweld heat treatment, the final cooling temperature in the postweld heat treatment rapid cooling process needs to be controlled to be higher than the Ms temperature of the bainite steel rail. At the same time, the cooling rate during the post-weld heat treatment must be limited to bainitic rail steels with relatively low critical cooling rates, otherwise the joint will fail prematurely due to the large amount of hardened martensite.
In the rail welding standards, AS specified in australian rail welding standard AS1085.20-2012, for some high-strength-grade, high-carbon-content and high-alloy-content rails, under the observation magnification of a metallographic microscope of 100x, for the most severe region where martensite appears in a rail welded joint, the percentage content of a martensite structure is not higher than 5%, otherwise the joint will cause premature fatigue fracture due to a large amount of hardened martensite structures, and the operation safety of the railway is seriously affected. Therefore, strict control of the martensite content in the welded structure of the steel rail is important for stable operation of the railway line.
Based on the discovery, the invention designs a construction method for heat treatment of the post-weld joint of the dissimilar steel rail, which comprises the following steps: a. welding a welded joint formed by welding a bainite steel rail and a eutectoid pearlite steel rail and having the temperature of 1000-1300 ℃ for first-stage cooling, so that the surface temperature of the steel rail welded joint is reduced to 100-200 ℃, the first-stage cooling is natural cooling in air, and the cooling speed is 0.1-15.0 ℃/s;
b. after cooling in the first stage, normalizing and heating, and stopping heating when the surface temperature of the joint is heated to 920-980 ℃;
c. after the normalizing heating is finished, carrying out second-stage cooling, wherein the starting cooling temperature of the second-stage cooling is not lower than 780 ℃, high-pressure cooling gas or water mist mixed gas is used as a cooling medium, the cooling speed is 2.5-3.0 ℃/s, and the final cooling temperature is 380-450 ℃;
d. after the second stage of cooling, performing third stage of cooling, and taking high-pressure cooling gas or water mist mixed gas as a cooling medium to reduce the surface temperature of the welding joint to 100-180 ℃, wherein the cooling speed of the stage is 0.6-0.8 ℃/s;
e. and (3) carrying out tempering heat treatment on the welded joint of the steel rail with the surface temperature reduced to 100-180 ℃, wherein the tempering temperature is 280-350 ℃, the heat preservation time is 1-2 h, then placing the welded joint in air for natural cooling, so that the surface temperature of the welded joint is reduced to 10-30 ℃, and the cooling speed at the stage is 0.05-0.5 ℃/s.
In the invention, the first-stage cooling is natural cooling in air, and the control of the first-stage cooling speed can be realized by adjusting the test environment temperature (for example, adopting a central air conditioner for temperature control). The reason why the temperature drop rate is still high in this stage though air cooling is because the temperature difference between the welded joint and the air is large. When the first stage carries out natural cooling, because there is the cold rate of high temperature stage very fast, the cold rate of low temperature stage is the slow condition relatively, and the cooling rate of each temperature section is all inequality, and the cooling rate of each temperature section is this moment: when the temperature is higher than 800 ℃, the cooling speed is 6.0-15.0 ℃; when the temperature is 800-500 ℃, the cooling speed is 3.0-5.8 ℃; when the temperature is 500-300 ℃, the cooling speed is 1.0-2.8 ℃; when the temperature is lower than 300 ℃, the cooling speed is 0.1-0.9 ℃/s. Without considering the component segregation, a welded rail joint generally does not exhibit a martensite structure in a weld heat affected zone under a post-weld air cooling condition.
In the invention, the normalizing heat treatment refers to a heat treatment process of heating the metal workpiece to be 30-50 ℃ above Ac3 (the final temperature of ferrite transformed into austenite during heating), keeping the temperature for a period of time, taking the metal workpiece out of a furnace, and naturally cooling, or spraying compressed air for cooling in the air. The post-weld normalizing heat treatment of the welded joint of the steel rail is different from the heat treatment process used by common small-size workpieces, and the normalizing heat treatment of the welded joint of the steel rail cannot keep the temperature (the temperature above the austenitizing temperature) for a long time after the target temperature is reached because the length of a sample after the steel rail is welded can be as high as hundreds of meters. Therefore, the steel rail welding joint is heated to the target temperature at a temperature slightly higher than the conventional normalizing temperature, and then the air cooling or air cooling heat treatment process is carried out, wherein the optimal normalizing heating temperature is 920-980 ℃.
According to the invention, after the steel rail joint is heated to the normalizing temperature of 920-980 ℃, the steel rail joint is quickly conveyed to the position of a cooling device through a conveying channel after the normalizing heating is finished, cooling is immediately carried out under natural conditions, and the surface temperature of the steel rail joint is monitored in real time by adopting a handheld infrared temperature measuring gun along with the temperature reduction process so as to ensure that the surface temperature of the joint is above 780 ℃. The normalizing in the parameters is to ensure that the steel rail joint can be fully austenitized, provide dynamic conditions for the subsequent rapid cooling and thinning of a welded structure, and rapidly cool the surface of the steel rail joint at a proper cooling speed so as to fulfill the aims of thinning a weld zone structure and improving the strength and hardness of the joint.
In the invention, the start cooling temperature of the second cooling stage is not lower than 780 ℃, the finish cooling temperature of the second cooling stage is higher than the martensite transformation starting temperature (Ms temperature) of the bainite rail steel and the eutectoid pearlite rail steel, the finish cooling temperature of the second cooling stage is 380-450 ℃, and the cooling speed of the second cooling stage is controlled at 2.5-3.0 ℃/s, so that the mechanical property of a welding region is improved by performing accelerated cooling on super-cooled austenite to refine the pearlite interlayer spacing and refine the bainite structure. In the second cooling stage, the following method can be adopted to ensure that the cooling speed is 2.5-3.0 ℃/s: the distance between the nozzle type cooling device matched with the normalizing unit and the surface of the welding joint is 30-50 mm; the pressure of the compressed air or the water mist mixed gas ejected by the cooling device is 0.30-0.60 MPa.
In the invention, when the steel rail joint is cooled in the third stage, in order to avoid the hardened martensite structure of the joint, the joint is cooled at the cooling speed of 0.6-0.8 ℃/s which is lower than the martensite transformation critical cooling speed of the steel rail. In the third stage of cooling, the following method can be adopted to ensure that the cooling speed is 0.6-0.8 ℃/s: the distance between the nozzle type cooling device matched with the normalizing unit and the surface of the welding joint is 30-50 mm; the pressure of the compressed air or the water mist mixed gas ejected by the cooling device is 0.05-0.10 MPa.
In step e of the present invention, the tempering temperature is low, generally below 500 ℃, and is usually used to improve the toughness of the rail joint and remove the welding residual stress. According to the principle of metallurgy: the low temperature tempering temperature is 150-250 ℃, the medium temperature tempering temperature is 350-500 ℃, and the high temperature tempering temperature is 500-650 ℃. Through tests: when the tempering temperature is more than 350 ℃, the impact toughness of the joint is not obviously improved, and when the tempering temperature is lower than 280 ℃, the impact of the joint is improved but the improvement amplitude is lower.
Therefore, in the step e, when an open type (profiling) electric heating tempering device is adopted to carry out tempering heat treatment on the steel rail welding joint with the surface temperature of 100-180 ℃, the tempering temperature is set to be 280-350 ℃, and the heat preservation time is set to be 1-2 h. The profiling device can be tightly attached to the surface of a steel rail welding joint, good heat conduction is achieved, and a tempering heat treatment process can be achieved under the combined action of the crawler-type heater. And when the tempering and heat preservation process is finished, taking down the tempering device. And (3) placing the welded joint in air for natural cooling, so that the surface temperature of the welded joint is reduced to 10-30 ℃, and the cooling speed in the stage is 0.05-0.5 ℃/s.
It should be noted that: the heating device of fig. 7 has similar layouts of the head, web and foot heating zones. Because the rail head is thicker and slower in heat transfer, the number of the ceramic heaters for coating the rail head is larger than that of the ceramic heaters in the rail waist and rail bottom areas, so that the full section of the steel rail is fully heated.
It should be noted that: the device in the figure 8 has the advantages of small size, flexibility, low cost and the like, is convenient for field construction, can be powered by a diesel generator or a 220V power supply, and has the rated power of 10 kW.

The actual size of the heating device and the specification and distribution condition of the heater can be adjusted according to the actual size of the steel rail profile. In the device design process, evenly fix the device inboard that has similar rail profile shape with multiunit crawler-type heater, make the heater cladding on the rail surface and with rail surface fully laminate in order to realize the good heat-conduction in the heating process, can realize the heat treatment process to the rail joint based on the device. In the test process, a temperature controller is adopted to control the heating temperature. The working temperature range of the device is 200-750 ℃. The split device can be rotated by 180 DEG at maximum about the axis of rotation. The split heaters A1 and A2 form a loop, and the split heaters B1 and B2 form a loop, and can be split into two symmetrical parts from the middle connecting position, so that the two sides can be heated independently.
