Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rail welding, in particular to a method for eliminating abnormal structure of gas pressure welded joint of medium-carbon low-alloy corrosion-resistant rail. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to meet the needs of railway transportation development, higher requirements are put forward for the toughness, fracture resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the rail. The medium-carbon low-alloy corrosion-resistant rail is delivered in a heat-treated state, with a tensile strength of ≥1080MPa, an average surface hardness of 340HB, and chemical components meeting the following requirements: C mass fraction of 0.50% to 0.65%, Si mass fraction of 0.48% to 0.55%, Mn mass fraction of 0.75% to 0.88%, Cr mass fraction of 0.30% to 0.45%, Cu mass fraction of 0.30% to 0.40%, Ni mass fraction of 0.10% to 0.20%, P mass fraction of ≤0.020%, S mass fraction of ≤0.020%, V mass fraction of ≤0.050%, and at least one of Mo, Nb and Ti, wherein Mo: 0.03-0.15%, Nb: 0.01-0.08%, Ti: 0.01-0.05%, and the rest is Fe and inevitable impurities. The rail has low carbon and alloy elements, good toughness and fracture resistance, and the alloy elements Cr, Cu and Ni are added to improve the corrosion resistance of the rail. The full-length heat treatment of the rail can improve the wear resistance, compression resistance and impact resistance of the rail, and prolong the service life of the rail. It is the most effective and economic method to improve the quality of the line.

[0003] Currently, the main rail welding methods include flash welding, aluminothermic welding and gas pressure welding. In the gas pressure welding process, the rail does not melt, so there is no decarburization layer in the weld, which is an advantage of gas pressure welding over flash welding. The gas pressure welded joint is a forged structure, which is an advantage of gas pressure welding over aluminothermic welding. In theory, the strength of the gas pressure welded joint is not lower than that of the flash welded joint and is superior to that of the aluminothermic welded joint.

[0004] If the post-weld air cooling process of the gas pressure welded joint of the medium-carbon low-alloy corrosion-resistant rail is improper, the same air jet pressure as normalizing is used for air jet cooling, and a large amount of abnormal structures such as martensite and bainite will be formed in the joint after cooling. Moreover, the abnormal structures are easy to be "inherited", and the abnormal structures such as martensite and bainite will still remain in the joint after normalizing according to the normal normalizing process.

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0031] The flowchart shown in the drawings is only an example and does not necessarily include all the contents and operations / steps, nor does it have to be executed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps can be further decomposed, combined or partially merged, so the actual execution order can be changed according to the actual situation.

[0032] The chemical composition of the medium-carbon low-alloy corrosion-resistant rail base material meets the following requirements: the mass fraction of C is 0.50% to 0.65%, the mass fraction of Si is 0.48% to 0.55%, the mass fraction of Mn is 0.75% to 0.88%, the mass fraction of Cr is 0.30% to 0.45%, the mass fraction of Cu is 0.30% to 0.40%, the mass fraction of Ni is 0.10% to 0.20%, the mass fraction of P is ≤0.020%, the mass fraction of S is ≤0.020%, the mass fraction of V is ≤0.050%, and at least one of Mo, Nb and Ti is further included, wherein Mo is 0.03-0.15%, Nb is 0.01-0.08%, and Ti is 0.01-0.05%, and the rest is Fe and unavoidable impurities. The addition of alloying elements such as Cr, Ni and Cu in the rail increases the stability of the supercooled austenite, moves the CCT curve to the right, and causes the formation of harmful structures such as martensite and bainite during the post-weld air cooling and normalizing air blowing of the joint. Due to the limitations of steelmaking process and steel homogeneity, local segregation of the rail is inevitable. Due to the segregation, the chemical composition of each micro area is different, resulting in different Ms points, causing the martensite transformation to appear at different times. These segregations will cause the formation of martensite in the local part of the rail under the action of the welding thermal cycle. Even if the final cooling temperature during the post-weld air cooling and heat treatment of the rail is higher than the Ms (martensite transformation start temperature) temperature of the rail, the CCT curve is moved to the right due to local segregation, causing the formation of abnormal structures such as martensite and bainite. In order to solve this technical problem, the present application provides a method for eliminating abnormal structures of a medium-carbon low-alloy corrosion-resistant rail gas pressure welded joint, which comprises the following steps:

The improper post-weld air cooling process of the gas pressure welded joint of the medium-carbon low-alloy corrosion-resistant rail can form abnormal structures such as martensite and bainite after cooling, the abnormal structures are "inherited" to cause the abnormal structures such as martensite and bainite to still remain after normalizing of the joint, and the present application can completely eliminate the abnormal structures of the gas pressure welded joint of the medium-carbon low-alloy corrosion-resistant rail.

[0046] In the present application, the "rail joint, gas pressure welded joint" is a region with a length of 80-100 mm after welding, including a weld and a heat-affected zone, the center of which is the weld. During the forced cooling process by air blowing after gas pressure welding, the "rail top surface temperature, final cooling temperature" referred to in the present application is the temperature at the fusion line of the rail top surface, and the temperature signal is collected by using an infrared temperature measuring instrument. The rail top surface of the rail is the contact part of the wheel and the rail.
