The method includes the following steps: smelting; casting; rolling; cooling from 650-880 centigrade degree to 400-500 centigrade degree or room temperature with 1-10 centigrade degree per second; heating to 850-1100 centigrade degree; natural cooling to 650-880 centigrade degree; cooling to 400-500 centigrade degree with 1-10 centigrade degree per second than stop cooling; and natural laying. The formed steel rail has good wear resistance.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a steel rail and a production method thereof, in particular to a pearlite heat-treated steel rail and a production method thereof. Background technique

[0002] The heavy load of railway freight requires steel rails to have higher strength, and the tissues that can be used in a large number of rails are mainly pearlite, tempered martensite or bainite. Among them, pearlite has the most wear resistance and the most production technology. Simple, the lowest production cost and the most stable performance are one of the directions for continuous improvement and development of rail materials in the future. Generally, the strengthening methods of pearlite rails include alloying, heat treatment, and alloying + heat treatment. From the perspective of development, alloying + heat treatment is an ideal method, which has the advantages of high strength, good toughness and plasticity, and low cost.
