Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrolytic polishing, in particular to an on-line electrolytic polishing device and a polishing method for a rail. Background Art

[0002] Under complex service conditions such as wheel-rail rolling contact and brake friction, rails will be deformed, peeled off, scratched, and damaged on the surface or sub-surface, which will deteriorate the stress state of the rails. Under repeated impact and friction stress, the internal residual stress of the rails changes. When the local residual stress is greater than the yield strength, microcracks will form on the surface of the rails, causing material degradation and seriously endangering the safety of train operation. Therefore, the detection and analysis of the organizational structure and residual stress on the surface of the rails is not only related to the safety of railway operations, but also directly affects the service life of the rails. The annual cost of maintenance and even replacement of damaged rails in my country has reached 8 billion yuan.

[0003] The characterization of the microstructure damage on the rail surface requires high-quality polishing of the rail surface. Since the diffraction penetration depth of X-rays is only about 10 microns, the use of X-ray technology to detect residual stress in rails requires that the rail surface is "fresh" and flat, and that the treatment method does not introduce additional stress.

[0004] Due to the particularity of the service rails, it is impossible to cut them for damage diagnosis and performance evaluation. Polishing the rail surface by mechanical grinding is often time-consuming and inefficient. In addition, mechanical grinding will also introduce large grinding and polishing stress, affect the microstructure of the material, change the stress distribution of the metal surface, and cause distortion of residual stress and other test results. Prior art, such as patent authorization number CN111424478A, discloses a rail grinding and polishing equipment for rail transit engineering. The purpose of the equipment is to remove surface damage and rust and maintain the safety of train operation. The polishing effect is poor, the metallographic structure cannot be observed, and a large grinding and polishing residual stress will be introduced on the polished surface. However, the electrolytic polishing method will not cause deformation on the sample surface, so there is no additional stress layer. High-quality, large-area electrolytic polishing of the rails in service is an important prerequisite for studying the surface damage and service evaluation of the rails. Prior art, such as patent authorization number CN105696065B, discloses a portable metallographic electrolytic polishing device. Although it can realize online electrolytic polishing of the rails, the polishing area is small (the polishing area is usually less than 3 cm 2 ), the polishing surface is rough and uneven (circular pits), and it is impossible to remove surface defects such as macro scratches and pitting on the workpiece surface, which affects the surface microstructure detection and residual stress analysis of the rail.
