ある。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a method for joining heat-treated rails, and specifically, in the case of welding heat-treated rails, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of softened parts that could not be avoided in the past. The purpose is to

障を来すのでレール頭部の高強度化が要求されて
いる。 In recent years, rail transportation has been moving toward higher axle loads and higher speeds, and as a result, the conditions for using rails have tended to become harsher. As a result, the rail head is subject to severe wear and fatigue, shortening the rail life and complicating maintenance work, so there is a demand for higher strength rail heads.

ている。 However, the method (a) described above not only increases costs due to the addition of alloying elements, but also requires additional manufacturing steps such as dehydrogenation treatment because the addition of alloying elements increases hydrogen cracking susceptibility. This increases the cost and is not an economically advantageous method. The method (b) above is suitable as a method for hardening the rail head, and the following two heat treatment methods are adopted.

In addition, method (b) above is a method that has recently been adopted as an alternative to method (a) above, and is a method in which carbon steel rail component steel is heated to Ac 3 points or higher using flame or high frequency after hot rolling. By reheating and accelerating cooling with compressed air, spray, or water, pearlite transformation occurs in a low temperature range, and a high-strength rail with high wear resistance and a dense pearlite structure can be obtained.

存することになる。 On the other hand, the traditional method of connecting rail joints to joint plates by tightening them requires measures to prevent damage, improve ride comfort, and prevent noise, and as part of this, welding is being used to create long rails. rail welding is becoming essential. Rail welding methods include flat butt welding, gas pressure welding, thermite welding, and enclosed arc welding. Of these, two of these methods, flat butt welding and gas pressure welding, are base welding, and thermite welding. method, enclosed arc welding method is adopted for on-site welding. In the case of the latter, thermite welding and enclosed arc welding, solvents or welding rods are used, so the quality of the welded joint can be improved in any way possible by mixing additive alloys; however, in the former, flat butt welding and gas In the case of the pressure welding method, the rail is heated to a high temperature with electricity or gas and mechanically welded under pressure, so the composition of the welded joint depends on the properties of the base material.

度低下をもたらすためである。 By the way, for example, in the slack quench rail shown in (b) above, the rail head has been strengthened by the heat treatment, so when it is joined by flat butt pressure welding or gas pressure welding, the pressure welded part is temporarily When the welded portion is austenitized and left to cool as it is after welded, a so-called softened portion is formed whose hardness is significantly lower than that of the non-welded portion, as shown in FIG. This phenomenon also occurs in the hardened and tempered rail of (a) above. In this case, the pressure welded portion exhibits a coarse pearlite structure, resulting in a softened portion. As shown in Figure 2, the cause of this is the cooling rate after welding (1~3℃/sec between 800~500℃).
However, the cooling rate during slack quench (800 to 500
This is because the temperature is small compared to 5 to 10°C/sec), and pearlite transformation occurs on the high temperature side, resulting in a decrease in hardness.

冷却方法を特徴とする。 The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems when the heat-treated rails are joined by pressure welding. The gist of the present invention is to prevent the occurrence of softened parts when heat-treated rails are pressure-welded (welded) by accelerating cooling of the welded parts immediately after welding in order to prevent the occurrence of softened parts.

の接合方法である。 That is, the present invention provides hardening-tempering or slack-tempering.
The quenched heat-treated rails are flash butt welded or gas pressure welded, and while the welded portion is in the austenite region, the contact wall is formed of a thin film with large elastic deformability and the cooling liquid passes through it. Then, by adjusting the liquid pressure inside the box, the contact wall is elastically deformed along the outer surface of the rail, and while maintaining the state of surface contact between the two, the structure of the pressed part is changed to fine pearlite. This is a method for joining heat-treated rails characterized by transformation.

質を付与するものである。 A heat-treated rail having the above composition and whose head has been made high-strength by being subjected to slack quenching or quenching and tempering is flattened or gas pressure welded (after deburring the upset part by mechanical finishing etc.), The contact cooling method, which will be described later, is used to prevent the occurrence of softened parts by transforming the welded part after the welding into fine pearlite. Specifically, the surface of the rail head is cooled at a temperature of 750°C or higher. 2 to 10℃/sec (750 to 500
This process is carried out by cooling the welded part between 25 and 120 seconds (25 to 120 seconds), and as a result, the pressure welded part has the same quality as the non-welded part.

戻り軟化部が発生するからである。 The method of the present invention is limited to either quenching-tempering or slack-quenching because these methods have a high strength rail head of 120 Kgf/mm or more, but the joining is performed by pressure welding. In this case, the pressure welded part is heated in the austenite region during pressure welding and then allowed to cool, so that the material returns to the material before heat treatment and a softened part occurs.

る。 In addition, in the method of the present invention, the reason why the rail welding method is limited to either flash butt welding or gas pressure welding is because, as explained earlier, when using other thermite welding methods or enclosed arc welding methods, welding This is because the strength of the welded part can be controlled in any way by including alloying elements in the solvent or welding rod used in the process, and the method of the present invention is not required.

ができるので、割れ等を発生し易く、耐摩耗性も
十分でなくなるので好ましくない。 Next, a cooling method which is a feature of the method of the present invention will be explained. What is most required for rails is a fine pearlite structure and high strength (tensile strength).
120Kgf/mm or more). As shown in FIG. 3, there is a close relationship between austenitizing conditions, cooling conditions, and strength. In other words, in the case of high-temperature heating (1100°C or higher) such as in the rail pressure welding process of the present invention, the cooling rate at which a fine pearlite structure (Hv hardness 370-400) is obtained is 2-2.
10℃/sec. In this case, the cooling rate is 2℃/sec
If the temperature is less than 10°C/sec, the strength of the softened part generated in the pressure welded part will be inferior to that of the non-welded part, and the cooling rate will be less than 10℃/sec.
Exceeding this is not preferable because a martensitic structure or an intermediate-stage structure is formed, which tends to cause cracks, etc., and the wear resistance becomes insufficient.
冷却開始温度は750℃以上とするのが好ましい。
上記組成のレール鋼のAc3点が750℃近傍であり、
その冷却開始を750℃未満とすると、加速冷却前
に一部パーライト変態が生じて粗いパーライト組
織となり、加速冷却による強度向上の効果が小さ
くなるためである。 The cooling start temperature is preferably 750°C or higher.
The Ac 3 points of the rail steel with the above composition are around 750℃,
This is because if the cooling is started at less than 750°C, pearlite transformation occurs in part before accelerated cooling, resulting in a coarse pearlite structure, which reduces the strength improvement effect of accelerated cooling.
本発明は、前記圧接部の冷却に、先に出願人が
特願昭56−6278号で提案した接触式冷却方法を利
用したものである。前記接触式冷却方法が特に本
発明の圧接部の冷却に適する理由は、
(i) レール頭部のスラツク・クエンチにおいては
頭部のみを加熱し、冷却するものであるから、
圧縮空気によつても微細パーライト組織を得る
ために必要な冷却速度を得ることは可能である
が、レール接合（圧接）にあたつてはレール頭
部のみでなく接合個所のレール全体が高温加熱
されるため圧縮空気では必要な冷却速度を得る
ことが困難である。 The present invention utilizes a contact cooling method previously proposed by the applicant in Japanese Patent Application No. 56-6278 to cool the pressure-welded portion. The reason why the contact cooling method is particularly suitable for cooling the pressure welding part of the present invention is that (i) in slack quenching of the rail head, only the head is heated and cooled;
Although it is possible to obtain the cooling rate necessary to obtain a fine pearlite structure using compressed air, when joining (pressure welding) the rails, not only the rail head but also the entire rail at the joining point is heated to high temperatures. Because of this, it is difficult to obtain the necessary cooling rate with compressed air.
(ii) 噴霧冷却又は水冷による場合は、必要な冷却
速度を得ることは可能であるが、いわゆるハー
ドスポツトを生じ易く、好ましない。(ii) When using spray cooling or water cooling, it is possible to obtain the necessary cooling rate, but so-called hard spots tend to occur, which is not preferable.

い。又、本発明の対象とする圧接による軟化部
のみを合理的に冷却することが可能である。(iii) On the other hand, the contact cooling method used in the present invention is
The cooling rate can be varied over a wide range depending on the type of inner wall thin film that contacts the rail head, the type of cooling liquid flowing into the box, the temperature, and the pressure inside the box. Because the process is carried out between the two, there is no direct contact with coolant such as water, and therefore no hard posts occur. Further, it is possible to rationally cool only the softened portion due to pressure welding, which is the object of the present invention.

A contact cooling method that makes it possible to cool uniformly will be explained with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 2 in the figure is a cooling box, and the lower surface of the box 2' is made of a rigid material such as a steel plate with a thickness of 2 to 10 mm, and is covered with a thin film having a large elastic deformability, such as 0.1 to 0.3 mm. A contact wall 1 formed of a thick metal foil is fixed in a watertight manner by welding, brazing, soldering, or screwing via a presser plate or punch. 3 is a cooling liquid inlet, 4 is its outlet, and 5 and 6 are valves, respectively, for forcibly injecting and discharging the cooling liquid, and the valves 5 and 6 are used to cool the cooling box 2. It has a function that allows you to adjust the internal pressure and flow rate. 7 is an open bypass for releasing the internal pressure of the cooling box 2, and 8 is a shutoff valve thereof. G is a pressure gauge. As mentioned above, the contact wall 1 is a thin film having a large elastic deformability and is made in a shape with a concave shape corresponding to the shape of the rail head of the object to be cooled, and the contact wall 1 is a thin film having a large elastic deformability. By increasing the pressure inside the box, the cooling liquid comes into close contact with the rail head 10 and is rapidly cooled.

部）の冷却が成立する。 In order to cool the rail head 10 of the pressure-welded part immediately after pressure-welding is performed using this contact quenching method, first open the shutoff valve 8 of the open bypass 7 to bring the internal pressure of the cooling liquid in the cooling box 2 to zero. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the cooling box 2 is brought into contact with the rail head 10 and set using the hook 9 so that it will not come off to the rail bottom 10'. Next, the shutoff valve 8 of the open bypass 7 is closed, and the pressure of the cooling liquid in the cooling box 2 is increased. At this time, due to the increase in internal pressure of the box, the box body 2' of the cooling box 2 is made of a rigid iron plate, and the contact wall 1 is made of a thin film.
expands outward (toward the rail head), and as a result, comes into close contact with the rail head 10. The closer the contact wall 1 is to the rail head 10, the higher the internal pressure of the cooling box 2 is, the closer the contact becomes.
Due to this close contact, good contact heat transfer is performed between the cooling liquid and the rail head 10 via the contact wall 1, and the amount of heat due to heat transfer is exerted by the cooling liquid, such as water, passing through the cooling box 2. , the rail head (pressing part) is cooled.

ましい。 Finally, to explain the reason for listing the preferred composition of the rail, it is preferable to add C in an amount of 0.60% or more to ensure strength.If it exceeds 0.85%, pro-eutectoid cementite is generated at the grain boundaries, leading to embrittlement of the material. Therefore, the amount added is preferably 0.60 to 0.85%. It is preferable to add 0.10% or more of Si as a deoxidizing element, and increasing the amount of Si is effective in strengthening the ferrite base and improving strength. but
If it exceeds 0.8%, the rate of increase in strength will be small and the properties of welded joints will deteriorate, so the amount added should be 0.1 to 0.8%.
% is preferable. Like Si, Mn is added as a deoxidizing element, and is preferably 0.6% or more in order to improve hardenability. If it exceeds 1.5%, martensitic structure is likely to occur due to micro-segregation of the steel, and it is difficult to heat treat. 0.6 to 1.5% as there is a risk of hardening and embrittlement during welding, resulting in material deterioration.
It is preferable to add a range of . When added at 0.1% or more, Cr is an effective element in narrowing the pearlite lamellar spacing and obtaining high strength, and at more than 0.8%, hardenability improves and martensitic structure is less likely to be mixed in during cooling in the present invention. There is. For this reason, it is preferable to add 0.1 to 0.8%. Like Cr, V also improves hardenability by adding
Although it brings about an improvement in strength, even if it is added in an amount of 0.1% or more, the effect is not so great as to correspond to the increased amount, and since it is an expensive element, it is preferable to add it in an amount of 0.1% or less.

℃, 5 mm depth below the surface). The hardness distribution 5 mm below the surface in this case is shown in FIG. 7th
As is clear from the figure, when the water temperature is 25°C, the cooling rate is high, and the hardness of the welded part increases greatly, achieving a hardness comparable to that of the base material.
