Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of rail welding, in particular to a method for performing post-weld heat treatment on rail welded joints. Background technique
[0002] Hypereutectoid steel rail is a new type of steel rail developed in recent years. The carbon content of hypereutectoid steel rail is generally in the range of 0.90-1.0% by weight, and its microstructure is intergranular secondary cementite + pearlite. The mixed structure is the top steel rail with the highest strength (1350MPa) and hardness (400HB-420HB) in the world. The structure of pearlitic steel rail is pearlite, and the representative pearlitic steel rail is PG4 heat-treated steel rail. PG4 heat-treated steel rail (also known as U78CrV, referred to as PG4 steel rail) has a carbon content in the range of 0.72-0.82% by weight, a microstructure of pearlite structure, a strength equivalent to that of a hypereutectoid steel rail, and a slightly lower hardness of 20HB. The structures...
