Detailed Description
The present invention will be further described with reference to the following examples.
The invention provides a production method for improving the wear resistance of a heat-treated steel rail, which mainly comprises the steps of carrying out dynamic accelerated cooling heat treatment on a rail head of the steel rail after hot rolling, wherein the starting cooling temperature is controlled to be 720-800 ℃, a dynamic stage cooling process is adopted, namely, the whole rail head cooling process is divided into 7 stages, the cooling speed of the 1 st stage is 5-7 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 2 nd stage is 7-8 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 3 rd stage is 8-10 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 4 th stage is 1-2 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 5 th stage is 4-6 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 6 th stage is 3-4 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 7 th stage is 2-3 ℃/s, when the temperature of the rail head is reduced to below 300 ℃, accelerated cooling is stopped, and finally, the rail head is naturally cooled to room temperature.
Preferably, the starting cooling temperature is controlled to be 740-780 ℃, a dynamic staged cooling process is adopted, namely the whole rail head cooling process is divided into 7 stages, the cooling speed of the 1 st stage is 5.5-6.5 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 2 nd stage is 7.2-7.8 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 3 rd stage is 8.5-9.5 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 4 th stage is 1.2-1.8 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 5 th stage is 4.5-5.5 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 6 th stage is 3.5-4 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 7 th stage is 2.2-2.6 ℃/s, when the temperature of the rail head is reduced to be lower than 300 ℃, accelerated cooling is stopped, and finally the rail head is naturally cooled to the room temperature.
In the invention, the cooling time of the 1 st stage, the 2 nd stage and the 3 rd stage is 7-10s, the cooling time of the 4 th stage is 5-8s, the cooling time of the 5 th stage and the 6 th stage is 15-20s, and the accelerated cooling is stopped when the 7 th stage is cooled until the temperature of the rail head is reduced to be below 300 ℃.
In the invention, the cooling speed difference between the 1 st stage and the 2 nd stage, and between the 2 nd stage and the 3 rd stage is controlled within 2 ℃/s.
The reasons for selecting the above process parameters are as follows: (1) the heat treatment strengthening principle of the steel rail is as follows: the rolled steel rail is still in the austenite temperature range, accelerated cooling is carried out, the pearlite transformation temperature is reduced, a refined pearlite structure is obtained, and the strength, the hardness and the wear resistance of the steel rail are improved. The initial cooling temperature is controlled to be 720-800 ℃, because the amount of metal of the rail head is large, if the rail head is directly cooled after rolling, the initial cooling temperature is too high, the surface layer begins to be cooled, but the core temperature is very high, heat conduction can be carried out outwards, the supercooling degree of pearlite phase transformation is insufficient, the final performance is affected, meanwhile, the initial cooling temperature is too high, which means that the austenitizing temperature and the final rolling temperature of the rail need to be increased, the problems of thick austenite grains, increased surface defects and the like are directly caused, the initial cooling temperature is too low, the distance from the phase transformation point of the pearlite is short, the supercooling degree is low, the phase transformation driving force is insufficient, and the risk of generating abnormal structures can be brought. The inventor finds that the opening cooling temperature of 720-800 ℃ is suitable through research. (2) The dynamic stage cooling process is adopted, namely the whole rail head cooling process is divided into 7 stages, the cooling speed of the 1 st stage is 5-7 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 2 nd stage is 7-8 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 3 rd stage is 8-10 ℃/s, the cooling time is 7-10s, the 1 st stage aims to quickly take away the heat of the rail head surface layer, quickly form a stable refined pearlite layer and ensure the surface tread hardness, meanwhile, a foundation is laid for the subsequent heat treatment, after the surface pearlite phase transformation is completed, the pearlite phase is changed to the secondary surface and the interior of the rail head, the heat transfer efficiency of high-temperature metal is reduced, at the moment, the cooling speed of the 2 nd stage and the cooling speed of the 3 rd stage are sequentially improved, the cooling speed is basically consistent within a certain depth of the surface layer, the pearlite phase transformation driving force is required to be consistent, and finally a hardened layer consistent with the surface hardness is obtained, the wear resistance is improved. (3) The cooling speed of the 4 th stage is 1-2 ℃/s, and the temperature stress and the phase change stress generated by accelerated cooling of the first 3 stages are mainly homogenized to prepare for cooling of the next stage. (4) The cooling speed of the 5 th stage is 4-6 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 6 th stage is 3-4 ℃/s, the cooling speed of the 7 th stage is 2-3 ℃/s, at the moment, the rail head has enough metal quantity to generate pearlite phase change, the heat storage area of the core part can be further reduced, the internal heat is firstly conducted to the cooling pearlite layer, then the heat is dissipated to the outside through convection, and the 3 stages adopt the process of reducing the cooling speed in sequence to ensure that the actual cooling speed of the transition interface is uniformly reduced so as to ensure that the hardness is not reduced in a jumping way. When the temperature of the rail head is reduced to below 300 ℃, the pearlite transformation of the whole rail head is finished, and the accelerated cooling is not required to be carried out continuously.
In the invention, when the rail head is accelerated and cooled, a certain cooling speed is applied to the rail bottom, the cooling speed is controlled to be 70-80% of the cooling speed of the rail head, because the cooling speed of the rail head is higher, if the rail bottom is naturally cooled, the rail bottom temperature difference of the rail head is overlarge to cause the large-amplitude bending of the rail, in order to ensure the straightness of the rail in the heat treatment process, a certain cooling speed is generally applied to the rail bottom, the metal content of the rail bottom is smaller than that of the rail head, the cooling speed is generally controlled to be about 70-80% of the cooling speed of the rail head, and the temperature consistency of the rail bottom of the rail head is kept as much as possible.
The production method can be used for online heat treatment of the steel rail with any conventional component, can effectively improve the wear resistance of the heat treatment steel rail, and meanwhile, the inventor finds that the steel rail with a specific chemical component can have a better effect compared with the steel rail with other chemical components, and can be more suitable for the production method. The steel rail with the specific chemical composition comprises 0.78-0.85 wt% of C, 0.60-0.80 wt% of Si, 0.75-1.10 wt% of Mn, 0.08-0.15 wt% of V, 0.10-0.15 wt% of Cr, less than or equal to 0.025 wt% of P, less than or equal to 0.025 wt% of S and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities based on the total weight of the steel rail;
the production method further comprises: the processes of molten iron desulfurization, converter smelting, LF refining, vacuum treatment, continuous casting, casting blank heating, rolling, straightening and the like are not particularly limited, and the processes can be carried out according to a conventional steel rail production process method. For example, the casting process should be carried out under full protection from air contact; slowly cooling the cast steel billet; heating a casting blank by adopting a walking beam heating furnace, and carrying out heat preservation treatment; rolling by adopting a universal rolling production line; and a horizontal and vertical composite straightening process and the like are adopted.
In the present invention, the cooling medium for accelerated cooling and slow cooling is a cooling medium commonly used in the art, and includes, but is not limited to, water, polymer solution, oil, compressed air, water mist or oil mist mixture, and any substance capable of providing a uniform cooling flow field.
The room-temperature metallographic structure of the whole section of the heat-treated steel rail obtained by the method is fine lamellar pearlite and a small amount of ferrite, abnormal structures such as bainite and martensite do not appear, and the mechanical properties of the steel rail meet the requirements of relevant standards.

In order to verify the wear resistance of the steel rail obtained by the invention, an M-2000 rolling contact wear tester is adopted to carry out contact fatigue wear tests on the steel rails of the examples and the comparative examples under the same test conditions. The abrasion weight loss was measured by relative rolling of the cylindrical samples, and the schematic diagram of the test is shown in fig. 2.

From the results of the contact wear test, the weight loss on wear of the example rail at the 15mm depth was much lower than that of the U75V heat treated rail. In contrast, the method can effectively improve the wear resistance on the premise of ensuring the structure and the mechanical property of the heat-treated steel rail.
