Description

Fixed flash welding method for 60N390 HB-grade high-hardness rail joint

The invention belongs to the technical field of steel rail welding, and particularly relates to a fixed flash welding method of a 60N390 HB-grade high-hardness steel rail joint.
Background
The research and development of pearlitic steel rails in China all belong to the category of high carbon, low silicon and medium manganese, are main elements, and alloy strengthening elements such as chromium, alum and the like are added according to different strength and hardness requirements. Because the high-hardness pearlitic steel rail for the heavy haul railway has the characteristics of high strength and high hardness, the carbon content of the steel rail can reach about 1 percent, and the alloy content is higher, so that the welding performance is very poor, and the steel rail mainly comprises the following components: (1) the defects of the welding overheat area are more, the overheat area of flash welding has segregation of carbon and manganese components along the austenitic grain boundary, so that the joint has abnormal microstructures such as bainite or martensite in a supercooled state, secondary cementite is easy to appear near a heat affected zone, and the brittleness of the joint is increased. (2) The grain size of the welding heat affected zone is obviously increased due to the cyclic heating of the welding heat affected zone, and the toughness of the flash welding joint is reduced due to the unbalanced process of rapid heating and cooling of the joint, so that the joint impact is only about 50% of that of a base metal, and the risk of rail breakage at the joint is easy to occur when a rail line is in service. (3) The mechanical properties of the joint are obviously reduced due to the burning loss of carbon and alloy in the welding process, particularly the hardness of the joint is obviously reduced, the performance matching between the joint and a base metal is poor, saddle-shaped abrasion and joint stripping and chipping phenomena can occur in the line service process, and the smoothness of a seamless line is seriously affected. The poor welding performance of the high-hardness steel rail severely restricts the wide-range application of the steel rail in a seamless and heavy-duty line.
The steel rail flash welding process directly affects the joint organization performance and the service state. The defects of over-burning, unwelded joint, excessive gray spots, liquefied cracks and the like of the joint can be caused by improper flash welding process, the metallographic grain size of the joint is coarser and only about 1-2 grades in the welding state, and the joint performance is poor.
