The invention provides a steel rail material
rolling contact fatigue test method. A
rolling contact fatigue test sample and a rolling accompanying
grinding sample are machined on a steel rail head; carrying out
laser engraving on the surface of the
test sample to simulate a hurt in a required shape and depth; performing ultrasonic cleaning on the
test sample and the
grinding accompanying sample by using
anhydrous B,
drying, weighing and recording, performing a
rolling contact fatigue test, and setting the test load, the rotating speed of the test sample and the
grinding accompanying sample and the total test cycle according to
test requirements; after the required test cycle is reached, stopping the test, recording a vibration
signal, and taking down the test sample and the accompanying grinding sample; and ultrasonically cleaning the test sample by using
anhydrous B, airing, weighing and recording. And subtracting the weight after the test from the weight of the test sample before the test to obtain the
weight loss. The
contact fatigue performance of multi-steel-grade steel rails under the condition that the multi-steel-grade steel rails are damaged can be evaluated, and the size, the shape and the depth of the engraved marks can be adjusted according to actual requirements; the method is suitable for
test evaluation of various service conditions of high-speed, heavy-load and ordinary-speed railway steel rails and the like, and has a good application prospect.
