However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but may be implemented in various different forms, only the present embodiments to make the disclosure of the present invention complete, and common knowledge in the art to which the present invention pertains. It is provided to fully inform the person having the scope of the invention, which is defined only by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, by adding an alloy such as manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), it is possible to delay the pearlite transformation to increase the hardness of the rail.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, after rolling without additional heat treatment facilities in the production of high hardness rail, it is possible to produce a high hardness heat treatment rail only by natural air cooling.

3 is a manufacturing process diagram illustrating a method for manufacturing a 400Hv class high hardness heat treatment rail alloy according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

As the global high-speed rail market expands, there is a need for hardened rails with improved wear resistance over existing rails. In addition, in order to satisfy the PREMIUM grade rail, a hardness value of 35 mm directly below the surface of the rail head requires at least 380 (Hv).

In order to satisfy the above conditions, the existing heat treatment rails improve hardness through an additional heat treatment process after finishing rolling. However, the heat treatment facility installation site, equipment, time and manpower are wasted in order to undergo the reheating and cooling process.

Therefore, an embodiment of the present invention provides a high hardness heat treatment rail alloy having a surface hardness of 400 (Hv) or more and a manufacturing method thereof by natural cooling alone without undergoing a heat treatment step after rolling.

To this end, the components of the 400Hv class high hardness heat treatment rail alloy of the present invention is by weight, carbon (C): 0.79 ~ 0.82%, silicon (Si): 0.2? 0.4%, Manganese (Mn): 1.45? 1.55%, phosphorus (P): 0.02% or less, sulfur (S): 0.02% or less, copper (Cu): 0.12 to 0.10%, nickel (Ni): 0.25% or less, chromium (Cr): 0.3% or less, molybdenum (Mo): 0.06 to 0.04%, vanadium (V): 0.06 to 0.04%, aluminum (Al): 0.01% or less, nitrogen (N): 0.008% or less, oxygen (O2): 0.002% or less It consists of iron (Fe) and other impurities.

As described above, in the present invention, by adding an alloy such as manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), the pearlite transformation can be delayed to increase the hardness of the rail.

On the other hand, this invention provides the manufacturing method which can manufacture the high hardness heat-treated rail alloy which has a high hardness physical property by performing natural cooling on the cooling bed after a rolling process of the raw material (the said alloy component) heated by the heating furnace.

To this end, first, a material heated from 1250 to 1200 degrees in a heating furnace is subjected to natural air cooling from 1000 to 950 degrees, which is the final rolling end temperature, to room temperature (15 to 30 degrees) through a rolling process.

At this time, the cooling start temperature is all austenitized state of 1000 ~ 950 degrees. In this state, the pearlite phase transformation starts at about 625 degrees during natural cooling, and the transformation is terminated at around 550 degrees.

As can be seen in Figure 1, due to the perlite transformation delay due to the addition of the alloying component, the supercooled structure is generated at a rapid cooling rate of more than 2 ℃ / s during continuous cooling.

However, when cooled at a cooling rate of 1 ° C / s similar to natural cooling as shown in Figure 2, all the pearlite structure was generated and the hardness was higher than 400 (Hv).

Here, the reason for the air cooling (natural cooling) is to suppress the formation of the bainite and martensite structures, which are supercooled structures without additional heat treatment facilities, and to develop a hard rail having only pearlite structures.

Hereinafter, the composition range of the 400Hv class high hardness heat treatment rail alloy of the present invention will be described in detail.

Steel also contains alloying elements that are artificially added to improve various properties during steelmaking, but also contains trace amounts of residual elements that are mixed in raw materials such as pig iron and scrap iron. The impact cannot be ignored.

Among these residual elements, copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), arsenic (As), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), and tin (Sb) are elements that can hardly be removed during steelmaking. It is fixed to steel as a substitution type, and relatively large amount of addition is required in order to change the property of steel.

In addition, elements such as carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen are elements that can be partially removed in the steelmaking process and are fixed to the steel in an invasive type, and have a great influence on the properties of the steel even in a small amount.

Hereinafter, the composition range of the 400Hv class high hardness heat treatment rail alloy of the present invention will be described in earnest.

The content of carbon (C) is preferably 0.79 to 0.82 wt%.

Carbon is an important element that determines the strength and hardness of the material. If the content is less than 0.79%, the strength and hardness required by the rail of the present invention cannot be obtained. If the content exceeds 0.82%, the martensite structure is easily formed. Therefore, the content of carbon is preferably limited to 0.79 to 0.82%.

The content of silicon (Si) is preferably 0.2 to 0.4% by weight.

Silicon acts as a deoxidizer to remove oxygen during steelmaking. When the content of silicon is less than 0.2%, there is a problem in that a large amount of oxides are generated due to a slight deoxidation effect. When the content of silicon exceeds 0.4%, the strength is improved, but the toughness is deteriorated. Therefore, in the present invention, it is preferable to limit the content of silicon to 0.2 ~ 0.4%.

The content of manganese (Mn) is preferably 1.45 to 1.55 wt%.

Manganese is used as a deoxidizer and a reinforcing element in materials in the steelmaking process, and it combines with sulfur (S) to form manganese emulsion (MnS) to inhibit the formation of iron emulsion (FeS), which causes hot brittleness. In order to improve this effect, it is preferable to contain 1.45% or more.

However, when the content of manganese exceeds 1.55%, segregation is liable to occur, and martensite, which is a local hard tissue, is generated in the segregation portion in the cooling process, which adversely affects the hot workability. Therefore, the content of manganese is preferably limited to 1.45 to 1.55%.

The content of phosphorus (P) is preferably 0.02% by weight or less.

Phosphorus acts to increase the strength of the material, but it is preferable to keep the content as low as possible because it plays a role in causing heat treatment of the material and tempering brittleness of the material used at high temperature. Therefore, in the present invention, it is preferable to limit the content of phosphorus to 0.02% or less.

The content of sulfur (S) is preferably 0.02% by weight or less.

Sulfur acts together with manganese contained in the material to form manganese compounds (MnS), which is a harmful element that impairs impact toughness and harms high temperature strength. Therefore, in the present invention, it is preferable to limit the content of sulfur to 0.02% or less.

The content of copper (Cu) is preferably 0.1 to 0.12% by weight.

Copper is easily incorporated from ores and the like, and the present invention is preferably limited to 0.12% or less. Copper has a solid solution effect due to solid solution in ferrite at room temperature, which slightly increases strength and hardness, but decreases elongation.

In the steel containing copper, hot workability is a problem, especially when it contains more than 0.12%, it causes red brittleness. This is because copper has a lower oxidation rate than iron (Fe) at high temperature, so it is ubiquitous on the steel surface and penetrates into the steel during hot working.

However, this phenomenon can be remarkably improved by addition of nickel (Ni) and molybdenum (Mo). In addition, even if a relatively small amount of copper is contained, the corrosion resistance of the steel is significantly improved in the air and seawater. Coexistence of copper and phosphorus (P) is more effective in improving the corrosion resistance.

In order to achieve this effect, it is desirable to keep the copper content at least 0.1% or more. That is, in the present invention, it is preferable to limit the content of copper to 0.1 ~ 0.12%.

The content of nickel (Ni) is preferably 0.25% by weight or less.

Nickel refines the structure of the steel and strengthens the base because it is well employed in austenite and ferrite. In addition, when coexisted with chromium (Cr) or molybdenum (Mo), it exhibits excellent hardenability and facilitates heat treatment of large steels. Since nickel is an austenite stabilizing element, it forms austenitic stainless steel and heat resistant steel in combination with chromium. Nickel significantly improves the low temperature toughness of steel and does not impair weldability or malleability.

In addition, nickel slows the diffusion of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), thereby preventing deterioration of heat-resistant steel, and also has characteristics such as expansion rate, stiffness rate, and ceramic rate. In other words, Fe-36% Ni steel has a coefficient of thermal expansion near zero at room temperature, and thus is widely used as an electronic material and a special material. Nickel is thus the most important and common alloying element with chromium.

The content of chromium (Cr) is preferably 0.3% by weight or less.

Chromium is an element that controls strength and toughness and prevents decarburization by lowering carbon activity. However, it is preferable to set the upper limit to 0.3% because increasing the content of chromium promotes the softening characteristics after heat treatment of the steel. That is, in the present invention, it is preferable to limit the content of chromium to 0.3% or less.

The content of molybdenum (Mo) is preferably 0.04 to 0.06% by weight.

Molybdenum is added at 0.04% or more to increase the high temperature strength and to increase the resistance to temper brittleness. However, molybdenum has a problem in that weldability is lowered when its content exceeds 0.06%. Therefore, the content of molybdenum is preferably limited to 0.04 to 0.06%.

The content of vanadium (V) is preferably 0.04 to 0.06% by weight.

Vanadium has a large carbide formation ability, making fine carbides and making the structure of the steel finer, so it is widely used from high tensile steel to various tool steels. The tempering softening resistance is also better than molybdenum (Mo). Vanadium greatly improves the high temperature strength, but V2O5, an oxide, has a high vapor pressure and evaporates at high temperature, so the amount of addition is limited. Therefore, in the present invention, it is preferable to set the content of vanadium to 0.04 to 0.06%.

The content of aluminum (Al) is preferably 0.01% by weight or less.

Aluminum is an element for finely adjusting the deoxidizer and austenite grain size. However, when aluminum is added too much, it is easy to deteriorate casting workability during the solidification of molten steel. Therefore, in the present invention, it is preferable to set the content of aluminum to 0.01% or less.

The content of nitrogen (N) is preferably 0.008% by weight or less.

The amount of nitrogen remaining in the steel varies considerably depending on the raw material, the melting method, and the like. In general, even in the presence of extremely small amounts of nitrogen, the mechanical properties of the steel have a great influence, which increases tensile strength and yield strength and decreases elongation. Therefore, in order to obtain the rail required in the present invention, it is preferable to limit the content of nitrogen to 0.008% or less.

The content of oxygen (O 2) is preferably 0.002% by weight or less.

Since oxygen is hardly dissolved in iron (Fe), it exists mainly in steel as a nonmetallic inclusion. Among the nonmetallic inclusions, SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, Cr 2 O 3, TiO 2, and the like have no solid solubility with respect to iron, but FeO, MnO, and the like have a slight solid solution with respect to iron. In particular, these nonmetallic inclusions lower the mechanical and fatigue properties of the steel.

In the high-purity Fe-O alloy, the impact transition temperature increases markedly with increasing oxygen content, but the effect is almost eliminated when a small amount of carbon (C), manganese (Mn), etc. are present in pure iron. When oxygen is contained in a large amount, it becomes a cause of abnormal structure during carburization of steel and at the same time, decreases hardenability and promotes growth of austenite grains by heating. Therefore, in the present invention, it is preferable to set the content of oxygen to 0.002% or less.

Hereinafter will be described in detail with respect to the manufacturing method of 400Hv class high hardness heat treatment rail alloy according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3 is a manufacturing process diagram illustrating a method for manufacturing a 400Hv class high hardness heat treatment rail alloy according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, in step 310, the rail material is heated to 1250 to 1200 degrees in a heating furnace.

Here, the rail material is a weight%, carbon (C): 0.79 ~ 0.82%, silicon (Si): 0.2? 0.4%, Manganese (Mn): 1.45? 1.55%, phosphorus (P): 0.02% or less, sulfur (S): 0.02% or less, copper (Cu): 0.12 to 0.10%, nickel (Ni): 0.25% or less, chromium (Cr): 0.3% or less, molybdenum (Mo): 0.06 to 0.04%, vanadium (V): 0.06 to 0.04%, aluminum (Al): 0.01% or less, nitrogen (N): 0.008% or less, oxygen (O2): 0.002% or less It consists of iron (Fe) and other impurities.

Next, in step 320, the heated rail material is rolled to a final rolling end temperature of 1000 to 950 degrees.

Next, in step 330, the rolled rail material is naturally air cooled. At this time, in the natural air cooling step, the rail material rolled to a final rolling end temperature of 1000 to 950 degrees is preferably naturally air cooled from 1000 to 950 degrees to room temperature.

In the natural air cooling, the rail material starts the perlite phase transformation around 625 degrees and ends the transformation around 550 degrees. Accordingly, the whole is made of a pearlite structure, a high hardness heat treatment rail alloy of 440Hv class or more is manufactured.

As described above, in the present invention, by adding an alloy such as manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), it is possible to increase the hardness of the rail by delaying the pearlite transformation, without additional heat treatment equipment in the production of high hardness rail After rolling, it is possible to produce a hardened heat treated rail only by natural air cooling.
