The invention discloses a method for efficiently compounding a fusion-covering reinforced steel rail through
laser and an auxiliary heat source. The
laser and the auxiliary heat source act on a to-be-fusion-covered area on the surface of the steel rail simultaneously, as a main heat source, the
laser makes the material of a fusion-covering layer and the material on part of the base of the surfaceof the steel rail quickly fused simultaneously to form a fusion
pool, the auxiliary heat source and the laser heat source move in the same direction at the same speed and preheat and / or postheat the laser fusion
pool, a heat influence area and the
surface layer of the base of the steel rail, the
temperature gradient of the steel rail is lowered, thus the
cooling speed of the steel rail is lowered,and the phenomena of transforming of a
martensite in a heat influence area and
cracking are avoided. Through the compounding effect, the critical
cooling time for transforming an
austenite to a
pearlite is shortened in the heat influence area wherein the
cooling time is larger than a CCT curve or a TTT curve, so that the mechanical performance among the fusion-covering layer, the heat influence area and the base is reasonably matched, the rigidity curve is smooth in distribution, and the overall fatigue performance is good. The method can fuse-cover a
metal layer on the surface of a field ofa railway steel rail on line and can also achieve fuse-covering
machining on the surface of the steel rail in a production workshop.
