In Figure 2 the flat-bottomed holes of type Da are indicated by dotted lines;
[0063] As Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, 12 Db-class flat-bottom holes are machined on the bottom surface of the rail of the second test block 22, marked as D4 to D15. The axes of the 12 machined Db-class flat-bottom holes are perpendicular to the tread R of the rail head, and the depths of the 12 machined Db-class flat-bottom holes are different. Specifically, the aperture of the Db-class flat-bottom holes D4 to D15 is φ2.

[0064] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the steps for selecting a probe for ultrasonic testing include the following:
[0065] Select a single-crystal straight probe and a double-crystal straight probe with a probe frequency range of 2 MHz to 3 MHz and a wafer size of 10 mm to 30 mm.
[0066] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the steps for time-base calibration and sensitivity setting of the ultrasonic testing system for the selected probe include the following:
[0067] Connect the ultrasonic testing instrument and the single-crystal straight probe, set the corresponding parameters, and then scan the single-crystal straight probe on the side surface P of the rail head of the first test block 21, and use the T-class flat-bottom holes T3 and T10 to calibrate the zero point and the sound velocity: As Figure 2 shown, place the single-crystal straight probe on the side surface P of the rail head of the first test block 21 opposite to the side surface Q of the rail head where the T-class flat-bottom holes are machined. Move and scan the single-crystal straight probe at the position corresponding to the T-class flat-bottom hole T3. Specifically, it can be moved and scanned back and forth and left and right at the position of the T-class flat-bottom hole T3 to find the maximum reflected echo of the T-class flat-bottom hole T3 and calibrate the zero point according to the actual depth of the T-class flat-bottom hole T3; move and scan the single-crystal straight probe at the position corresponding to the T-class flat-bottom hole T10. Specifically, it can be moved and scanned back and forth and left and right at the position of the T-class flat-bottom hole T10 to find the maximum reflected echo of the T-class flat-bottom hole T10 and calibrate the sound velocity according to the actual depth of the T-class flat-bottom hole T10;
[0068] After completing the time-base calibration for the side scan of the rail head, a DAC curve is made and the sensitivity for the scan of the single-crystal straight probe on the side of the rail head is set. The set sensitivity includes setting the evaluation sensitivity and the scan sensitivity for the scan of the single-crystal straight probe on the side of the rail head. The made DAC curve is set as the evaluation sensitivity, and the DAC curve - 6dB (that is, moving the whole made DAC curve downward by 6 dB to achieve strict control of the quality of the rail) is set as the scan sensitivity. When making the DAC curve, avoid using flat-bottom holes that cause a trend deviation of the DAC curve due to uneven material structure. Specifically: Use the T-type flat-bottom holes T3 - T10 on the first test block to make the first DAC curve for the scan of the single-crystal straight probe on the side of the rail head. When making the first DAC curve, select at least 5 points. Set the evaluation sensitivity for the scan of the single-crystal straight probe on the side of the rail head as the first DAC curve, and set the scan sensitivity for the scan of the single-crystal straight probe on the side of the rail head as the first DAC curve - 6dB. When making the first DAC curve, first place the single-crystal straight probe on the side P of the rail head of the first test block 21, and perform forward, backward, left, and right movement scans at the position corresponding to the T-type flat-bottom hole T3. Find the maximum reflected echo of the T-type flat-bottom hole T3 and set it as the first point of the first DAC curve. Then, in turn, use the T-type flat-bottom holes T4 - T10 to complete the production of the first DAC curve for the entire side scan of the rail head according to the above method.
[0069] After completing the sensitivity setting for the side of the rail head, use the single-crystal straight probe to scan on both sides of the rail head of the to-be-detected rolled and forged high manganese alloy steel rail (both sides of the rail head need to be fully scanned). When scanning, control that the adjacent two scans should overlap 12% of the wafer size with each other, and control the moving speed of the probe not to be greater than 120 mm / s.
[0070] Perform display evaluation on the results of the scan of the side of the rail head of the to-be-detected rolled and forged high manganese alloy steel rail by the single-crystal straight probe:
[0071] Evaluate the detection results that exceed the set scan sensitivity after performing transmission correction using the comparison method.
[0072] Furthermore, during the process of scanning and detecting using the single-crystal straight probe, if a detection result that exceeds the scan sensitivity is found, measure the difference in sound energy transmission loss according to the comparison method and perform transmission correction. After correction, perform display evaluation. If it exceeds the corresponding acceptance rule, it is judged as unqualified; if it does not exceed the corresponding acceptance rule, it is judged as qualified.
[0073] Specifically, if the detection result of performing transmission correction using the comparison method exceeds the corresponding evaluation sensitivity, it is judged as unqualified;
[0074] If the detection result of performing transmission correction using the comparison method does not exceed the corresponding evaluation sensitivity, it is judged as qualified.
[0075] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the time-base calibration and sensitivity setting of the ultrasonic detection system for the selected probe further include the following steps:
[0076] Connect the ultrasonic detection instrument and the single-crystal straight probe, set the corresponding parameters, then scan the single-crystal straight probe on the running surface R of the rail head of the second test block 22, and use the flat-bottom holes D6 of Db type and the flat-bottom holes D15 of Db type to calibrate the zero point and the sound velocity: As Figure 4 shown, place the single-crystal straight probe on the running surface R of the rail head of the second test block 22, move and scan the single-crystal straight probe at the position corresponding to the flat-bottom hole D6 of Db type. Specifically, it can be moved and scanned back and forth, left and right at the position of the flat-bottom hole D6 of Db type to find the maximum reflected echo of the flat-bottom hole D6 of Db type and calibrate the zero point according to the actual depth of the flat-bottom hole D6 of Db type; move and scan the single-crystal straight probe at the position corresponding to the flat-bottom hole D15 of Db type. Specifically, it can be moved and scanned back and forth, left and right at the position of the flat-bottom hole D15 of Db type to find the maximum reflected echo of the flat-bottom hole D15 of Db type and calibrate the sound velocity according to the actual depth of the flat-bottom hole D15 of Db type;
[0077] After completing the time-base calibration of the single-crystal straight probe scanning on the running surface of the rail head, set the sensitivity of the single-crystal straight probe. Set the DAC curve as the evaluation sensitivity, and set the DAC curve - 6dB as the scanning sensitivity. When making the DAC curve, avoid using the flat-bottom holes that cause a trend deviation of the DAC curve due to uneven material structure; specifically: use the flat-bottom holes D6 - D15 of Db type on the second test block to make the second DAC curve for the single-crystal straight probe scanning on the running surface of the rail head. When making the second DAC curve, select at least 5 points. Set the evaluation sensitivity for the single-crystal straight probe scanning on the running surface of the rail head as the second DAC curve, and set the scanning sensitivity for the single-crystal straight probe scanning on the running surface of the rail head as the second DAC curve - 6dB. When making the second DAC curve, first place the single-crystal straight probe on the running surface R of the rail head of the second test block 22, move and scan back and forth, left and right at the position corresponding to the flat-bottom hole D6 of Db type to find the maximum reflected echo of the flat-bottom hole D6 of Db type and set it as the first point of the DAC curve, and then complete the production of the second DAC curve for the single-crystal straight probe scanning on the running surface of the rail head in sequence by the above method using the flat-bottom holes D7 - D15 of Db type.
[0078] After completing the sensitivity setting of the running surface of the rail head, use the single-crystal straight probe to scan the running surface of the rail head of the to-be-detected rolled and forged high manganese alloy steel rail. During the scanning, make the adjacent two scans overlap 12% of the wafer size, and control the moving speed of the probe not to be greater than 120 mm / s.
[0079] The results of scanning the tread of the rail head of the rolled and forged high manganese alloy steel rail to be detected with a single crystal straight probe are displayed and evaluated:
[0080] The detection results exceeding the set scanning sensitivity are evaluated after transmission correction using the comparison method.
[0081] Furthermore, during the process of scanning and detecting with a single crystal straight probe, if a detection result exceeding the scanning sensitivity is found, the difference in acoustic energy transmission loss is measured according to the comparison method and transmission correction is performed. After correction, the display evaluation is carried out. If it exceeds the corresponding acceptance rule, it is judged as unqualified; if it does not exceed the corresponding acceptance rule, it is judged as qualified.
[0082] Specifically, if the detection result of transmission correction using the comparison method exceeds the corresponding evaluation sensitivity, it is judged as unqualified;
[0083] if the detection result of transmission correction using the comparison method does not exceed the corresponding evaluation sensitivity, it is judged as qualified.
[0084] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the time base calibration and sensitivity setting of the ultrasonic detection system for the selected probe further include the following steps:
[0085] Connect the ultrasonic detection instrument and the double crystal straight probe, set the corresponding parameters, and then scan the double crystal straight probe on the tread R of the rail head of the second test block 22, and calibrate the zero point and sound velocity using the Db type flat bottom hole D4 and the Db type flat bottom hole D8: As Figure 4 shown, place the double crystal straight probe on the tread R of the second test block 22, move and scan the double crystal straight probe at the position corresponding to the Db type flat bottom hole D4. Specifically, it can be moved and scanned back and forth, left and right at the position of the Db type flat bottom hole D4 to find the maximum reflected echo of the Db type flat bottom hole D4 and calibrate the zero point according to the actual depth of the hole; move and scan the double crystal straight probe at the position corresponding to the Db type flat bottom hole D8. Specifically, it can be moved and scanned back and forth, left and right at the position of the Db type flat bottom hole D8 to find the maximum reflected echo of the Db type flat bottom hole D8 and calibrate the sound velocity according to the actual depth of the Db type flat bottom hole D8;
[0086] After completing the time-base calibration of the double-crystal straight probe during the inspection of the rail head tread, set the sensitivity of the double-crystal straight probe. Set the DAC curve as the evaluation sensitivity, and set the DAC curve - 6dB as the inspection sensitivity. When making the DAC curve, avoid using flat-bottom holes that cause a trend deviation in the DAC curve due to uneven material structure; specifically: use the Db type flat-bottom holes D4 - D8 on the second test block 22 to make the third DAC curve for the inspection of the double-crystal straight probe on the rail head tread. Set the evaluation sensitivity for the inspection of the double-crystal straight probe on the rail head tread as the third DAC curve, and set the inspection sensitivity for the inspection of the double-crystal straight probe on the rail head tread as the third DAC curve - 6dB. When making the third DAC curve, first place the double-crystal straight probe on the rail head tread of the first test block 21, and perform scanning with front-back, left-right movement at the position corresponding to the Db type flat-bottom hole D4. Find the maximum reflected echo of the Db type flat-bottom hole D4 and set it as the first point of the third DAC curve. Then, sequentially complete the production of the third DAC curve for the inspection of the double-crystal straight probe on the rail head tread using the Db type flat-bottom holes D5 - D8 according to the above method.
[0087] After completing the sensitivity setting of the double-crystal straight probe during the inspection of the rail head tread, use the double-crystal straight probe to scan the rail head tread of the to-be-inspected rolled-forged high manganese alloy steel rail. The moving direction of the double-crystal straight probe should be perpendicular to its sound insulation layer. During scanning, make the adjacent two scans overlap by 12% of the wafer size, and control the moving speed of the probe not to exceed 120 mm / s.

[0091] Specifically, if the inspection result of the transmission correction using the comparison method exceeds the corresponding evaluation sensitivity, it is judged as unqualified;
[0092] If the inspection result of the transmission correction using the comparison method does not exceed the corresponding evaluation sensitivity, it is judged as qualified.
[0093] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the time-base calibration and sensitivity setting of the ultrasonic detection system for the selected probe further include the following steps:
[0094] Connect the ultrasonic testing instrument to the dual-crystal straight probe, set the corresponding parameters, then scan the dual-crystal straight probe on the web side M of the first test block 21, and use the type Y flat-bottom hole Y1 and the type Y flat-bottom hole Y5 to calibrate the zero point and sound velocity: As Figure 2 shown, place the dual-crystal straight probe on the web side M of the first test block 21 opposite to the web side with the type Y flat-bottom hole processed, move and scan the dual-crystal straight probe at the position corresponding to the type Y flat-bottom hole Y1. Specifically, it can be moved and scanned back and forth, left and right at the position of the type Y flat-bottom hole Y1 to find the maximum reflected echo of the type Y flat-bottom hole Y1 and calibrate the zero point according to the actual depth of the type Y flat-bottom hole Y1; move and scan the dual-crystal straight probe at the position corresponding to the type Y flat-bottom hole Y5. Specifically, it can be moved and scanned back and forth, left and right at the position of the type Y flat-bottom hole Y5 to find the maximum reflected echo of the type Y flat-bottom hole Y5 and calibrate the sound velocity according to the actual depth of the type Y flat-bottom hole Y5;
[0095] After completing the time-base calibration of the web side scan, set the evaluation sensitivity of the dual-crystal straight probe. Set the DAC curve as the evaluation sensitivity, and set the DAC curve - 6dB as the scan sensitivity. When making the DAC curve, avoid using the flat-bottom holes that cause the DAC curve to deviate trendily due to uneven material structure. Specifically: Use the type Y flat-bottom holes Y1 - Y5 on the first test block to make the fourth DAC curve for scanning on the web side of the dual-crystal straight probe. Set the evaluation sensitivity for scanning on the web side of the dual-crystal straight probe as the fourth DAC curve, and set the scan sensitivity for scanning on the web side of the dual-crystal straight probe as the fourth DAC curve - 6dB. When making the fourth DAC curve, first place the dual-crystal straight probe on the web side M of the first test block 21, move and scan back and forth, left and right at the position corresponding to the type Y flat-bottom hole Y1 to find the maximum reflected echo of the type Y flat-bottom hole Y1 and set it as the first point of the fourth DAC curve, and then complete the production of the fourth DAC curve for scanning on the web side in turn using the type Y flat-bottom holes Y2 - Y5 according to the above method.
[0096] After completing the sensitivity setting of the web side, use the dual-crystal straight probe to scan the web side of the to-be-tested rolled and forged high manganese alloy steel rail. The moving direction of the dual-crystal straight probe should be perpendicular to its sound insulation layer. During scanning, make the adjacent two scans overlap 12% of the wafer size, and control the moving speed of the probe not to be greater than 120 mm / s.

[0098] Evaluate the test results that exceed the set scan sensitivity after transmission correction using the comparison method.
[0099] Furthermore, during the process of scanning and detecting with a double-crystal straight probe, if a detection result exceeding the scanning sensitivity is found, the difference in acoustic energy transmission loss is measured by the comparison method and transmission correction is performed. After correction, display evaluation is carried out. If it exceeds the corresponding acceptance rules, it is judged as unqualified; if it does not exceed the corresponding acceptance rules, it is judged as qualified.
[0100] Specifically, if the detection result of transmission correction using the comparison method exceeds the corresponding evaluation sensitivity, it is judged as unqualified;
[0101] if the detection result of transmission correction using the comparison method does not exceed the corresponding evaluation sensitivity, it is judged as qualified.

Specifically, it can be moved and scanned back and forth, left and right at the position of the flat-bottom hole D1 of type Da to find the maximum reflected echo of the flat-bottom hole D1 of type Da and calibrate the zero point according to the actual depth of the flat-bottom hole D1 of type Da; move and scan the double-crystal straight probe at the position of the corresponding flat-bottom hole D3 of type Da. Specifically, it can be moved and scanned back and forth, left and right at the position of the flat-bottom hole D3 of type Da to find the maximum reflected echo of the flat-bottom hole D3 of type Da and calibrate the sound velocity according to the actual depth of the flat-bottom hole of type Da;
[0104] After completing the time-base calibration for the upper surface scan of the rail bottom, set the sensitivity of the double-crystal straight probe. Set the DAC curve as the evaluation sensitivity, and set the DAC curve - 6dB as the scan sensitivity. When making the DAC curve, avoid using flat-bottom holes that cause a trend deviation in the DAC curve due to uneven material structure; specifically: use the flat-bottom holes D1 to D3 of type Da on the first test block to make the fifth DAC curve for the double-crystal straight probe to scan on the upper surface of the rail bottom. Set the evaluation sensitivity for the double-crystal straight probe to scan on the upper surface of the rail bottom as the fifth DAC curve, and set the scan sensitivity for the double-crystal straight probe to scan on the upper surface of the rail bottom as the fifth DAC curve - 6dB. When making the fifth DAC curve, first place the double-crystal straight probe on the upper surface N of the rail bottom of the first test block 21, perform a forward-backward and left-right movement scan at the position corresponding to the flat-bottom hole D1 of type Da, find the maximum echo of the flat-bottom hole D1 of type Da and set it as the first point of the fifth DAC curve. Then, in turn, use the flat-bottom holes D2 to D3 to complete the production of the fifth DAC curve for the upper surface scan of the rail bottom according to the above method.
[0105] After completing the sensitivity setting for the upper surface of the rail bottom, use the double-crystal straight probe to scan the upper surfaces N and S of the rail bottom of the to-be-detected rolled and forged high-manganese alloy steel rail. The moving direction of the double-crystal straight probe should be perpendicular to its sound insulation layer. During the scan, make the adjacent two scans overlap by 12% of the wafer size, and control the moving speed of the probe not to exceed 120 mm / s.
[0106] For the results of the double-crystal straight probe scanning the upper surface of the to-be-detected rolled and forged high-manganese alloy steel rail, perform a display evaluation:
[0107] Evaluate the detection results that exceed the set scan sensitivity after performing transmission correction using the comparison method.
[0108] Furthermore, during the process of scanning and detecting using the double-crystal straight probe, if a detection result exceeding the scan sensitivity is found, measure the difference in sound energy transmission loss by the comparison method and perform transmission correction. After correction, perform a display evaluation. If it exceeds the corresponding acceptance rules, it is judged as unqualified; if it does not exceed the corresponding acceptance rules, it is judged as qualified.
[0109] Specifically, if the detection result of performing transmission correction using the comparison method exceeds the corresponding evaluation sensitivity, it is judged as unqualified;
[0110] If the detection result of performing transmission correction using the comparison method does not exceed the corresponding evaluation sensitivity, it is judged as qualified.
