Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the heat treatment of rails in the transition region between the tongue end and standard rail profile, the rail being heated above the austenitizing temperature and subsequently cooled in still air, and to an apparatus for carrying out this method.
- the tongue rail end is usually bulged onto the Vignol rail profile by hot-forming in the die.
- the heating to the forming temperature required for this takes place in special annealing furnaces, the rails being inserted into the furnace to a corresponding length.
- the agglomeration process is usually divided into three work stages, between which reheating to the forming temperature is required.
- a temperature transition area is created in the profile towards the cold rail end, which results in a metallurgical change in the material structure.
- This structural change which occurs in particular in a temperature range of 750 to 760 ° C for pearlitic rail steel, has a kind of soft annealing effect. The longer the rail steel is in this temperature range, the greater this soft annealing effect and thus the decrease in strength.
- the length of the structural change zone is directly dependent on the forming temperature and the duration of the hot forming process.
- the drop in strength of the hardness trough reaches orders of magnitude of 150 to 200 N / mm 2 , and the wheel overflow results in a dent length which is in a range of approximately 120 mm. Dents can only be prevented if the length range in which a drop in hardness or a hardness trough is observed is limited to approximately 30 mm, since then plastic deformation due to Hertzian surface pressure depending on the wheel diameter and thus a dent formation is reliably prevented. If the structure change zone is limited to such lengths, the support of the edge zone structure is sufficient to avoid plastic deformation.
- DE-AS 25 41 978 already shows a process in which rails are heat-treated for the purpose of forming a fine pearlitic structure.
- the heating covers the entire length of the rail, using a continuous process.
- cooling is carried out in a controlled manner using compressed air or compressed air with a liquid medium.
- the method according to the invention essentially consists in that the heat treatment is carried out simultaneously with or immediately after the hot forming of the tongue rail end and that the transition region is heated to a depth of at least 7 mm and at most 25 mm and that the heat treatment is controlled so that the length of the structural change zone formed by reshaping the tongue is kept less than 30 mm in the longitudinal direction of the rail.
- This heat treatment restores the original state of the pearlitic structure, the selected depth of penetration being chosen with a view to the fact that the maximum stress is usually about 7 mm below the workpiece surface.
- An essential factor for heat treatment is the shortest possible heating time to the forming temperature in order to prevent the heat from spreading to the cold rail end.
- the workpieces are in a temperature range of approx. 400 to 450 ° C in the area of the structural change zone, which means that the heating-up time for the subsequent heat treatment can be shortened considerably by the fact that the heat treatment immediately after the hot shaping of the tongue rail end is made.
- the heat treatment can be limited to a short length.
- the control of the heat treatment is carried out in such a way that the length of the structural change zone created by reshaping the tongue is kept less than 30 mm in the longitudinal direction of the rail in order to effectively prevent dents from forming.
- the heating is advantageously carried out to a temperature above 860 ° C., the heat treatment preferably being limited to the rail head.
- the cooling then takes place in still air, as a result of which the original structural state is achieved before the forming.
- the procedure according to the invention is preferably such that a length range of at least 150 mm, preferably at least 300 mm, is subjected to the heat treatment at the transition zone between the standard rail profile and the tongue end.
- the maximum length range can generally be limited to less than 900 mm.
- This method for heat treatment of rails in the transition area between the tongue end and the control rail profile is essentially characterized in that, immediately after the last heat-forming step, a burner with a controllable flame temperature is movably supported over the surface of the rail, the travel of which is preferably limited by adjustable limit switches that the burner is mounted in a support with a reversible drive and that a temperature measuring device is provided for detecting the surface temperature of the rail.
- the design is such that the fuel gas and / or combustion air or oxygen supply and / or the linear travel speed of the burner along the rail is regulated as a function of temperature measurement values, preferably the temperature measurement device via control lines with a process computer is connected, which is connected to a controllable valve arrangement of a gas-oxygen mixing device for the burner.
- a process computer-controlled system has proven to be particularly advantageous.
- the burner bundles are mounted on a support and the heat treatment length can be optimally adjusted using limit switches.
- the introduction of heat can be monitored via a temperature measuring device, for example as a miliscope or pyrometer, whereby the hardness of the flame can be regulated by a process computer and in particular is operated with a hard flame in the heating process and is only operated with a soft flame in the holding stage. In this way, overheating of the areas that are already at the transition temperature can be ruled out.
- a temperature measuring device for example as a miliscope or pyrometer
- the burners 2 are water-cooled bundle burners, the flame direction of which is directed towards the head 3 of a rail 4.
- the burners are connected via gas lines 5 to a valve arrangement of a gas-oxygen mixing device which is shown schematically in FIG.
- limit switches 7 and 8 are arranged, which serve to limit the path of the support.
- Above the rail is a temperature measuring device 9, which is connected to a process computer 11 via signal lines 10.
- a display device for the measured temperature is designated by 12.
- the drive 13 for the support is arranged on the side next to the rail.
- the limit switches 7 and 8 for path limitation are also located in the area of the movable drive.
- the support can be moved on a table 14 and is supported on this table 14.
- the travel range of the support is usually limited to 600 to 900 mm, with the minimum travel path usually being selected at around 300 mm.
- the cooling in still air has proven to be sufficient to avoid undesired hardening and only to restore the state that prevailed before the heating to the hot forming temperature.
