Abstract

On leaving the hot rolling mill the rail, travelling continuously, is subjected to rapid cooling and is subsequently cooled to room temperature; the length of the rack, the speed of travel of the rail and the average density of the heat flows applied to the head, to the web and to the flange are adjusted so that, on the one hand, the final mechanical properties in the head are obtained while, on leaving the said rack, less than 60% of the section of the head has undergone the allotropic austenite-perlite transformation and that, on the other hand, the differences in elongation between the head and the web and between the head and the flange are minimised. <IMAGE>
