Description

Heat treatment process for reducing residual stress of hundred-meter online heat-treated bainitic steel rail
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of steel rail heat treatment, in particular to a heat treatment process for reducing the residual stress of a hundred-meter online heat-treated bainite steel rail.
Background
Along with the progress of railway heavy load transportation technology, the heavy load transportation capability of the railway in China is continuously improved, the axle weight of heavy load trucks is gradually improved, and the heavy load railway has the characteristics of large axle weight, large transportation capacity, high departure density and the like, for example, the large Qin line traffic of the Taiyuan in 2021 reaches 5.5 hundred million tons/year. The rapid development of the steel rail for the heavy haul railway brings more severe requirements on the toughness, the wear resistance and the fatigue resistance of the steel rail material of a steel mill. The strength and toughness of the pearlitic steel rail commonly used at present are basically limited due to the characteristics of components and tissue structures, and the pearlitic steel rail is low in impact toughness and fracture toughness, so that the service requirements of heavy haul railways cannot be completely met. Under the background, the method promotes the development of the steel rail suitable for heavy-duty transportation, the bainite steel rail has good strength, plasticity, impact toughness, wear resistance and rolling contact fatigue resistance, and the bainite steel rail has better weldability and is very suitable for the laying of heavy-duty railway turnouts and positive lines.
In order to meet the requirements of high strength and toughness, high wear resistance and excellent fatigue resistance of the steel rail for the heavy haul railway, the bainitic steel rail is produced by adopting an online controlled cooling process, the proportion of the steel rail structure is changed by online controlled cooling, the proportion of martensite and the transformation of lower bainite are improved, and the spacing between structural pieces is further refined, so that various mechanical performance indexes of the steel rail are obviously improved.
After the online heat treatment, the bainitic steel rail can generate higher structural stress in the structural transformation, and meanwhile, as the yield strength of the online heat treatment steel rail is higher, the straightening pressure of the steel rail is correspondingly improved in the straightening process, so that the additional straightening stress of the steel rail is higher, and the structural stress and the straightening stress are superposed, so that the steel rail generates higher macroscopic and micro-area residual stress. In addition, in the hundred-meter steel rail production process, uneven and large fluctuation conditions exist in the total length residual stress, so that high residual stress can occur in the part of the upper line steel rail, and the residual stress is too high. When a train passes through, after the contact stress, the dynamic bending stress, the acting force of the wheel rail and the residual stress are superposed, the inside of the steel rail is subjected to higher stress, and when very small inclusions exist in the inside, stress concentration is generated at the position, fatigue cracks are initiated, nuclear damage in the rail head is formed, and the use and service of the steel rail are seriously affected.
At present, the online heat treatment process of the bainitic steel rail is not researched and invented for controlling flatness, straightening additional stress and residual stress in the production process of the bainitic steel rail, and the residual stress and the service state of the steel rail head are important in the actual service process of the steel rail without any description of the residual stress of the steel rail head. Therefore, the reasonable online cooling control process and tempering process further reduce the residual stress of the steel rail, particularly the residual stress of the rail head on the premise of improving the comprehensive mechanical property of the bainite steel rail, thereby effectively improving the service performance of the steel rail.
The patent with publication number of CN106755900B provides a high-strength high-toughness bainitic steel rail and an online cooling control process thereof, the online cooling control of the patent is divided into three stages to cool the steel rail to 180-210 ℃, the patent provides specific data for tensile strength, tread hardness, room temperature impact and elongation, does not give clear description for the residual stress index of the steel rail, does not show whether the steel rail is subjected to a hundred-meter heat treatment process, does not carry out tempering treatment on the steel rail, and martensite generated by phase transformation is brittle, which is unfavorable for improving the service performance of the steel rail. From the practical application result of the steel rail, the tempering treatment of the bainite steel rail is an indispensable step, and the residual stress of the steel rail directly influences the service state of the steel rail, in particular the stability and the fluctuation of the residual stress of the rail head and the residual stress of the hundred meters steel rail.
Patent publication No. CN 102534403A provides a bainite heat-treated steel rail and a heat treatment method thereof, and the patent accelerates cooling to 200 ℃ at a cooling rate of 0.4-8 ℃/s after rolling and forming the steel rail on line, and then air-cooling to room temperature. The hardness of the obtained steel rail is 340-350HB, the room temperature impact is 81-87J, the hardness and toughness of the steel rail are low, the requirement of heavy haul railway application is not met, tempering treatment is not carried out on the steel rail, the structure, the residual stress and the service stability of the steel rail are not facilitated, and specific fluctuation indexes and stability are not provided for the throughout length performance and the residual stress of the steel rail after production.
The patent with publication number CN105385938B provides an alloy system, a heat treatment method of a bainite steel rail thereof and the bainite steel rail, wherein the patent is a heat treatment process route of normalizing, adjusting treatment, quenching and tempering, and the steel rail is heated to 900-940 ℃ and the heat preservation time is more than 7 hours; directly quenching to 320-350 ℃ by water cooling, carrying out isothermal phase change treatment, and keeping the temperature for more than 5 hours. Because the steel rail is required to be subjected to re-austenitizing and normalizing treatment, online waste heat treatment of the steel rail is not adopted, so that the excessively high energy consumption is increased, and the energy conservation and emission reduction are not facilitated. The isothermal transformation treatment at 320-350 ℃ is carried out on the steel rail for more than 5 hours, which is not beneficial to the actual production of the steel rail, and rail production factories at home and abroad do not have equipment for carrying out heat preservation and isothermal treatment on the steel rail after heat treatment of hundred meters.
