The invention relates to a
welding process for a rail joint. The
welding process comprises the following steps: S1,
welding for the first time; s2, slotting the surface of the welding seam; s3, welding for the second time; s4, repairing and
cutting after welding; according to the
welding process, after a splicing seam formed by
butt joint of rail square steel
base metal serves as a first groove to be welded for the first time, a notch is formed in the top face of a first welding seam, second welding is conducted on the notch to form a second welding seam, and a fusion line of the first welding seam and the
base metal is covered with the second welding seam; two
welding process parameters and the sizes of a splicing seam and a notch are optimally designed, so that cost increase, deformation and
residual stress generation caused by transition welding or performance deterioration caused by insufficient welding are effectively avoided, the
hardness and tensile strength of a welding seam are ensured, and the welding quality is improved through detection. The surface
hardness, the
impact resistance and the tensile strength of a rail joint formed by welding are higher than those of a square steel base material, and the effect is excellent and remarkable.
