This invention relates to the field of rail
manufacturing technology, and proposes a method for producing bainitic rails with
fatigue resistance. The method includes: heating and rolling a steel billet with a target composition into a rail, wherein the steel billet with the target composition comprises, by
mass percentage: 0.20~0.35% C, 1.4~1.80% Si, 1.50~2.20% Mn, and 0.80~1.50% Cr, and simultaneously contains 0.20~0.70% Ni and 0.03~0.12% Ni. The steel rail comprises % V, 0.0005%~0.637% alloying elements selected from one or more of Mo, Ti, Nb, B, and Al, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities. Controlled cooling after rolling ensures the rail obtains a bainitic structure within the bainitic transformation temperature range. During cooling, deformation treatment is applied to the rail within this range to induce
vanadium carbide precipitation and stabilize the structure. Subsequently, cooling to
room temperature yields a bainitic rail with
fatigue resistance. This invention enables the short-process, high-efficiency industrial production of fatigue-resistant bainitic rails at a relatively economical
alloy cost.
