The application discloses a method for improving the contact
wear resistance of a rail by refining the
pearlite lamellar spacing to 260-320 nm through a staged
temperature control isothermal heat treatment process combined with micro
stress induction, thereby significantly improving the
wear resistance and
fatigue resistance while ensuring high strength. The rolling contact wear test results under a load of 20-40 N show that the Brinell
hardness of the rail sample prepared by the process is increased by about 16%, the average
friction coefficient is reduced by 9.8%, the wear volume is reduced by about 24.5%, and the
crack initiation life is increased by about 1.4 times. The method has stable process, accurate control, is suitable for
batch manufacturing of U75V
heavy load and high speed rail, and has a wide industrial application prospect.
