Description

Method for improving bonding strength of steel rail flash butt joint
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of steel rail welding, and particularly relates to a method for improving the bonding strength of a steel rail flash butt welding joint.
Background
With the development of global rail lines towards high speed and heavy load, rail welding is also becoming a focus of more and more attention. At present, the mainstream rail flash butt welding at home and abroad is a welding method which clamps rails on two sides by clamping devices such as conductive electrodes, contacts the end faces of the rails after electrification, generates resistance heat at the contact points by conducting current, quickly melts the contact points to form flash with strong splashing, applies a certain upsetting force after a certain flash allowance, and accordingly recrystallizes and forms the rails at high temperature. Mainly comprises two types of fixed flash welding and movable flash welding. The movable flash welding is usually used for construction welding on a track laying site due to the characteristics of small equipment, convenient movement and the like, and the fixed flash welding of the steel rail usually fixes welding equipment in a factory building, so the fixed flash welding is also commonly called as factory welding or base welding. The two differ most greatly in the way the rail is heated, except in the application scenario. The movable flash welding heats the steel rail by intermittent pulse flash blasting or continuous flash blasting, so the movable flash welding can be divided into pulse flash and continuous flash. Stationary flash welding is generally performed by directly short-circuiting the rail and heating the rail by means of resistance heating, which is not (or only slightly) accompanied by flash, and is also commonly referred to as short-circuit preheat flash welding.
At present, the mainstream rail flash welding standard in the world mainly comprises the standard series standard TB/T1632.2-2014 in the Chinese railway industry, part2 of rail welding: flash Welding, american society OF Railway ENGINEERING handbook, american Rail ENGINEERING AND MAINTENANCE-OF-WAY ASSOCIATION (AREMA), european Standard BS EN 14587-3, tail WAY applications-Track-Flash building Welding OF rails.part 3: welding in ASSOCIATION with cracking control AND Australian Standard AS1085.20-2012, rail Track Material Part20: welding of steel rail. All the existing flash welding standards and enterprise technical conditions suitable for pearlitic steel rails make specific provisions on the microstructure of the flash welding joint of the steel rail. The microstructure of a welding seam and a heat affected zone of a steel rail joint specified in TB/T1632.2 is pearlite, a small amount of ferrite can appear, and harmful structures such as martensite or bainite should not be contained; AMEMA specifies that the weld and the heat affected zone of the steel rail joint are expected to be 100% of pearlite structures, and once the joint generates untempered martensite structures, the results of the static bending test can be influenced; the european standard BS EN14587 specifies that, when observed under an optical microscope at a magnification of 100 × using an optical microscope, acicular carbides and intergranular continuous network carbides with signs of embrittlement do not appear, allowing the appearance of a granular martensitic structure; the steel rail joint microstructure specified in the australian standard AS1085.20 should be a pearlitic structure substantially free of intergranular cementite and untempered martensite, allowing for a small amount of martensite if the requirements of the other tests are met. The hardness of the longitudinal section of the flash welding joint of the steel rail is that after the steel rail is cut along the longitudinal rolling direction of the steel rail, the hardness values of the steel rail are detected within the range that the distance between the two sides of a joint welding line is 3-5 mm and exceeds the width of a heat affected zone by 20mm, the Rockwell hardness is adopted in some standards, the Vickers hardness is adopted in some standards, or both the Rockwell hardness and the Vickers hardness are adopted. The hardness of a steel rail welding joint is an important factor influencing the smoothness of a high-speed railway track, and the joint can be ensured to have consistent wear resistance with a line steel rail in a service period only if the hardness level of the joint is equivalent to that of a base metal. The existing problem is that the joints have softening zones in a welding state or a heat treatment state, saddle-shaped abrasion can occur during service, and the smoothness of a line is deteriorated. The correct post-welding treatment process can improve the joint structure, reduce the softening degree and meet the requirement of the wear resistance of the joint as much as possible. The rail flash welding joint static bending test is the most widely applied rail joint overall performance evaluation method at home and abroad at present, and all rail joint inspection standards have regulations. The method mainly comprises two indexes, namely load and deflection. The static bending test is to apply load to the steel rail joint at a certain loading rate by adopting a three-point or four-point supporting method until the load reaches a standard specified value and is continuous, and the maximum deflection is greater than the standard specified value, so that the static bending performance of the joint is judged to be qualified, and different rail types correspond to different load and deflection values. European standard BS EN14587-2, 2009, requires that the minimum load and deflection of the joint is not less than 1600KN and 20mm respectively (60 kg/m rail, head compressed). European standard BS EN14587-2, 2009 requires a joint rail base minimum stress of 900MPa, and a reduced minimum load and deflection of no less than 1670KN and 20mm, respectively (60 kg/m rail, head compressed). The standard requirements of China on static bending are that the breaking load is not less than 1450kN (60 kg/m, the railhead is pressed), and no requirement is made on the deflection. The static bending load mainly reflects the indexes of the joint strength, the joint appearance and the internal defects, and the deflection mainly reflects the index of the joint toughness. If the welding process of the joint is poor, the joint is likely to break before the joint does not reach the load value specified by the standard due to defects such as grey spots, incomplete fusion or overburning, or the joint is hard or soft due to improper matching of heat input and upsetting amount of the joint and improper post-welding treatment method, so that the deflection of the joint does not reach the standard requirement.
In summary, a method for improving the bonding strength of the steel rail flash butt welding joint is needed in the field of railway engineering, so as to effectively ensure that the static bending performance of the steel rail flash butt welding joint is greatly improved.

In order to achieve the purpose, the method for improving the bonding strength of the steel rail flash butt welding joint is realized by adopting a steel rail movable flash welding machine, and the whole welding process comprises 5 main stages of pre-flashing, accelerated burning, upsetting, forging and the like. And after the flash welding is finished, the joint is placed in the air to be naturally cooled to the room temperature.

The minimum tensile strength of the steel rail is 1300MPa, and the minimum hardness of the rail head is 400HB.
The main effect of the pre-flashing stage is to enable the to-be-welded section of the steel rail to be flat and clean through flash blasting, and provide favorable conditions and basic heat for subsequent flashing, wherein the favorable conditions and the basic heat are relatively uniform and flat. In order to achieve the purpose, the control is mainly controlled by 7 variables such as high voltage time, high voltage, a current set value 1, a current set value 2, a current set value 3, a pre-flashing distance, flashing speed and the like. The high voltage of the pre-flash stage is 370V-440V and the voltage time is 45 s-65 s; the current value of the pre-flash stage is divided into set values of three stages, wherein the set value 1 of the current is 180-250A, the set value 2 of the current is 200-270A, and the set value 3 of the current is 220-300A; the pre-flashing distance is 2 mm-10 mm, and the flashing speed is 0.1 mm/s-0.6 mm/s.

To achieve the above purpose, the control is mainly controlled by 6 variables such as low voltage time, low voltage, current set value 1, current set value 2, current set value 3, and flash speed. The low voltage of the flash stage is 320-390V and the voltage time is 80-140 s; the current value of the flash stage is divided into three stages of set values, wherein the set value of the current 1 is 180A-250A, the set value of the current 2 is 200A-270A, and the set value of the current 3 is 220A-300A; the flash speed is 0.1 mm/s-0.6 mm/s.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the control is mainly controlled by 5 variables such as accelerated burning voltage, current set value 1, current set value 2, current set value 3, acceleration speed and the like. The accelerated burning voltage of the accelerated burning stage is 380V-450V, the current value of the accelerated burning stage is divided into set values of three stages, wherein the set value of the current is 180A-250A, the set value of the current is 2A-270A, and the set value of the current is 3A-220A; the acceleration speed is 0.5 mm/s-2.0 mm/s.

Comparative example
The test material of this comparative example was a hypereutectoid steel rail with a 136RE profile as specified in the AREMA standard. The actual carbon content of the steel rail solid chemical component is 1.01 percent. The welding method in the patent of the invention is not adopted for welding. The high-voltage time of the preflash stage is 65s, the high voltage is 445V, the current set value 1 is 240A, the current set value 2 is 260A, the current set value 3 is 275A, the preflash distance is 9.5mm, and the flash speed is 0.55mm/s; the low-voltage time of the flash stage is 138s, the low voltage is 385V, the current set value 1 is 240A, the current set value 2 is 260A, the current set value 3 is 275A, and the flash speed is 0.6mm/s; the accelerated burning voltage in the accelerated burning stage is 447V, the current set value 1 is 240A, the current set value 2 is 260A, the current set value 3 is 275A, and the acceleration speed is 2.0mm/s; the electrified upsetting time in the upsetting stage is 2.0s, the upsetting time is 2.7s, and the upsetting amount is 16.8mm; there is no forging stage. The maximum deflection of the steel rail flash welding head in the comparative example is 6.6mm when the three-point static bending load is 1557kN, and the steel rail flash welding head is broken and can not meet the standard requirement.
The static bending test is to apply load to the steel rail joint at a certain loading rate by adopting a three-point or four-point supporting method until the load reaches a standard specified value continuously and the maximum deflection is greater than the standard specified value, and then the static bending performance of the joint is judged to be qualified, and different rail types correspond to different load and deflection values. The static bending load mainly reflects the indexes of the joint strength, the joint appearance and the internal defects, and the deflection mainly reflects the indexes of the joint toughness. If the welding process of the joint is poor, the joint is likely to break before the joint does not reach the load value specified by the standard due to the defects of dust spot, incomplete fusion or overburning, or the joint is hard or soft due to improper matching of heat input and upsetting amount of the joint and improper treatment method after welding, so that the deflection of the joint does not reach the standard requirement
The maximum deflection of the flash welded joint of the steel rail in the embodiment 1 is 23.5mm when the three-point static bending load is 2000kN, and no fracture occurs; the maximum deflection of the steel rail flash welding joint of the embodiment 2 is 27.4mm when the three-point static bending load is 2200kN, and no fracture occurs; the maximum deflection of the flash welded joint of the steel rail in the embodiment 3 is 26.2mm when the three-point static bending load is 2500kN, and no fracture occurs; the maximum deflection of the steel rail flash welding joint of the embodiment 4 is 20.1mm when the three-point static bending load is 2200kN, and no fracture occurs; the maximum deflection of the steel rail flash welding head of the embodiment 5 is 23.4mm when the three-point static bending load is 2640kN, and no fracture occurs; the three-point static bending load of the flash-welded rail joint of example 6 was 2610kN, the maximum deflection was 21.2mm, and no fracture occurred.
The static bending standard in China requires that the breaking load is not less than 1450kN (60 kg/m, the railhead is pressed), and the deflection is not required; the three-point static bending load of the steel rail flash welding heads of the examples 1 to 6 is far greater than the national standard (1450 kN).
In the comparative example, the welding method in the patent is not adopted for welding, and the maximum deflection of the flash welding head of the steel rail is 6.6mm when the load of three-point static bending of the flash welding head of the steel rail is 1557kN, so that the flash welding head of the steel rail is broken. The performance gap between the rails welded by the methods of examples 1-6 is large.
