AI Technical Summary
Existing technology cannot precisely control the fullness of rails, especially in the production of rails for high-speed railways, which affects the contact area and condition between the wheels and the rails.
By adjusting the pass sizes of the UR and UF mills and combining them with the principles of metal forming, a reasonable distribution of mill pass sizes is designed to ensure the fullness accuracy of the rails. This includes ensuring that the rail head vertical roll pass size of the UR mill and the pass head width and rail height of the UF mill meet specific difference requirements, thus achieving precise control.
This improved the fullness qualification rate and yield of rails, especially the dimensional accuracy control of rails used in high-speed railways, with the qualification rate increasing from 62% to 95%.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of railway rail production technology, and more particularly to a method for rolling high-speed railway 60N rails to achieve precise control of fullness. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, universal rolling mills used for rolling steel rails typically consist of UR, E, and UF mills, which reciprocate and roll the finished steel rails in three passes.
[0003] Among them, the control of the dimensional accuracy of rail rolling is an important link. The tread fullness dimension is crucial for rails, especially for high-speed railway rails. Fullness involves the contact area and state between the train wheel and the rail. The dimensional accuracy of rail fullness is an aspect that needs to be reasonably controlled in rail production standards.
[0004] However, existing technologies often cannot achieve precise control over the fullness of the rails. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, a method for rolling 60N high-speed railway rails that achieves precise control of fill factor is provided.
[0006] The technical means employed in this invention are as follows:
[0007] A method for rolling 60N high-speed railway rails with precise control of rail fill, used to roll 60N rails that meet the fill requirements, includes the following steps:
[0008] S1: The steel section is passed through the UR rolling mill to obtain the intermediate rail. The maximum arc radius of the middle part of the rail head vertical roll of the UR rolling mill and the maximum arc radius of the middle part of the standard cross section tread of the 60N rail meet the first dimension requirement.
[0009] S2: Pass the intermediate rail through the UF rolling mill to obtain a 60N rail that meets the fullness requirements. The width of the UF rolling mill's pass head and the standard cross-sectional width of the 60N rail meet the second dimension requirement. The height of the UF rolling mill's pass head and the standard cross-sectional height of the 60N rail meet the third dimension requirement.
[0010] Furthermore, the expression for the first size requirement is as follows:
[0011]
[0012] in, This refers to the maximum radius of curvature of the middle section of the standard cross-section tread of a 60N steel rail. This refers to the maximum radius of the arc in the middle of the vertical roll pass of the UR rolling mill. This is the first difference that is set.
[0013] Furthermore, the first difference is 40~60mm.
[0014] Furthermore, the expression for the second dimension requirement is as follows:
[0015]
[0016] in, This refers to the width of the roll pass in the UF rolling mill. This refers to the standard head width dimension of a 60N steel rail. is the coefficient of thermal expansion of the steel section. This is the second difference.
[0017] Furthermore, the second difference is 0.1~0.2mm.
[0018] Furthermore, the expression for the third size requirement is as follows:
[0019]
[0020] in, This refers to the rail height dimensions of the UF rolling mill. This refers to the standard cross-sectional rail height dimensions of a 60N steel rail. is the coefficient of thermal expansion of the steel section. This is the third difference.
[0021] Furthermore, the third difference is 1.0~1.3mm.
[0022] Furthermore, the fullness requirement is -0.3 to +0.6 mm.
[0023] Furthermore, in step S2, the intermediate rail is first passed through a rolling mill to obtain a rolled intermediate rail, and then the rolled intermediate rail is passed through a UF rolling mill.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0025] 1. This invention provides a method for rolling 60N high-speed railway rails to achieve precise control of rail fullness. Based on the principle of metal forming and the relationship between the dimensional accuracy of the finished rail fullness and the dimensional tolerances of the UR rolling mill rail head vertical roll profile and the UF rolling mill rail head profile, the fullness of the rail can be precisely controlled by rationally allocating the dimensions of each rolling mill profile.
[0026] 2. This invention avoids the problem of unreasonable metal quantity matching between UR rolling mill and UF rolling mill, and improves the dimensional accuracy of the finished rail fullness, which is particularly effective for controlling the dimensional accuracy of rail fullness for high-speed railway.
[0027] 3. Compared with the prior art, the present invention improves both the pass rate of rail fullness and the yield of rail rolling. Attached Figure Description

[0042] S1: The steel section is passed through the UR rolling mill to obtain the intermediate rail. The maximum arc radius of the middle part of the rail head vertical roll of the UR rolling mill and the maximum arc radius of the middle part of the standard cross section tread of the 60N rail meet the first dimension requirement.
[0043] S2: Pass the intermediate rail through the UF rolling mill to obtain a 60N rail that meets the fullness requirements.
