Description

Method for improving bonding strength of steel rail flash butt welding joint
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of steel rail welding, and particularly relates to a method for improving the bonding strength of a steel rail flash butt welding joint.
Background
With the development of global rail routes to high speed and heavy load, rail welding is also becoming a focus of attention. At present, the main current rail flash butt welding at home and abroad is a welding method which clamps rails at two sides through clamping devices such as conductive electrodes, the end surfaces of the rails are contacted after the rails are electrified, and the conductive current generates resistance heat at the contact point, so that the contact point is quickly melted, flash is formed and is accompanied with strong splashing, a certain upsetting force is applied after a certain flash amount, and the rails are recrystallized and formed at a high temperature. The method is mainly divided into a fixed flash welding type and a movable flash welding type. The movable flash welding is commonly used for track laying site construction welding due to the characteristics of small equipment, convenient movement and the like, and the fixed flash welding of the steel rail is commonly used for fixing welding equipment in a factory building, so the fixed flash welding is also commonly called factory welding or base welding. The greatest difference between the two is the way the rail is heated, except for the application scenario. The movable flash welding heats the steel rail by intermittent pulse flash explosion or continuous flash explosion, so the movable flash welding can be divided into pulse flash and continuous flash. Fixed flash welding is typically performed by directly shorting the rails and heating the rails by resistive heating without (or with a small amount of) flash, also commonly referred to as short-circuit preheat flash welding.
Currently, the main international mainstream steel rail flash welding standard mainly comprises China railway industry standard series standard TB/T1632.2-2014, steel rail welding part 2: flash welding, american society OF railway works Manual AMERICAN RARILWAY ENGINEERING AND MAINTENANCE-OF-WAY ASSOCIATION (AREMA), european standard BS EN 14587-3:2012,Rail WAY applications-Track-Flash butt welding OF tracks.Part3: welding in ASSOCIATION with crossing construction, australian standard AS1085.20-2012,Railway Track material Part20: welding of steel rail. All the existing flash welding standards and technical conditions of enterprises for the pearlitic steel rail are suitable for specific regulations on the microscopic structure of the flash welding head of the steel rail. The microstructure of the steel rail joint weld joint and the heat affected zone in TB/T1632.2 is pearlite, a small amount of ferrite can be generated, and the microstructure of martensite, bainite and other harmful structures are not generated; AMEMA states that the weld and heat affected zone of the rail joint desirably has a 100% pearlitic structure, which affects the results of static bending tests once the joint has a non-tempered martensitic structure; the European standard BS EN14587 standard specifies that, when observed with an optical microscope at a magnification of 100X, needle-like carbides with signs of embrittlement and inter-crystalline continuous network carbides do not appear, allowing a granular martensitic structure to appear; the australian standard AS1085.20 specifies that the rail joint microstructure should be a pearlitic structure substantially free of intergranular cementite and untempered martensite, allowing for the presence of small amounts of martensite if the requirements of other tests are met. The hardness of the longitudinal section of the steel rail flash welding head, namely, after the steel rail is split along the longitudinal rolling direction of the steel rail, the hardness value of the steel rail flash welding head within the range of 3-5 mm below the running surface of the joint and 20mm above the width of the heat affected zone at both sides of the joint welding line is checked, wherein certain standard adopts Rockwell hardness, certain standard adopts Vickers hardness, or both. The hardness of the steel rail welding joint is an important factor affecting the smoothness of the high-speed railway track, and the joint can be ensured to have consistent wear resistance with the circuit steel rail in the service period only if the hardness level of the joint is equal to that of the base metal. The existing problems are that the joint has a softening area in both a welding state and a heat treatment state, saddle-shaped abrasion can occur during service, and the smoothness of a circuit is deteriorated. The correct post-welding treatment process can improve the joint structure, reduce the softening degree and meet the wear-resisting performance requirement of the joint as much as possible. The static bending test of the steel rail flash welding head is the most widely used method for evaluating the overall performance of the steel rail joint at home and abroad at present, and all steel rail joint test standards are specified. Mainly comprises two indexes, namely load and deflection. The static bending test is to apply load to the rail joint at a certain loading rate by adopting a three-point or four-point supporting method until the load reaches a standard specified value and the maximum deflection is larger than the standard specified value, and then judge that the static bending performance of the joint is qualified, and different rail types correspond to different load and deflection values. European Standard BS EN14587-2:2009 requires joint minimum loads and deflections of not less than 1600KN and 20mm (60 kg/m rail, head pressed), respectively. European Standard BS EN14587-2:2009 requires a minimum stress of 900MPa at the joint rail bottom, and the minimum load and deflection after conversion are not less than 1670KN and 20mm (60 kg/m rail, rail head pressed) respectively. The standard requirement of static bending in China is that the breaking load is not less than 1450kN (60 kg/m, rail head is pressed), and the deflection is not required. The static bending load mainly shows the joint strength, the joint appearance and the internal defect index of the joint, and the deflection mainly shows the joint toughness index. If the welding process of the joint is poor, the joint is likely to break before the joint does not reach the standard specified load value due to defects such as gray spots, unfused or overburning, or the joint is hard or soft due to improper matching of the heat input and upsetting amount of the joint and improper post-welding treatment method, so that the deflection of the joint cannot meet the standard requirement.
In view of the foregoing, a method for improving the bonding strength of a flash butt welding joint of a steel rail is needed in the railway engineering field, so as to effectively ensure that the static bending performance of the flash butt welding joint of the steel rail is greatly improved.

Comparative example
The test material of this comparative example was an hypereutectoid steel rail of 136RE profile as specified in the AREMA standard. The mass fraction of carbon measured by the chemical composition of the steel rail entity is 1.01%. The welding method of the present invention is not used for welding. The high voltage time of the pre-flash stage is 65s, the high voltage is 445V, the current set value 1 is 240A, the current set value 2 is 260A, the current set value 3 is 275A, the pre-flash distance is 9.5mm, and the flash speed is 0.55mm/s; the low voltage time of the flash stage is 138s, the low voltage is 385V, the current set value 1 is 240A, the current set value 2 is 260A, the current set value 3 is 275A, and the flash speed is 0.6mm/s; the accelerating burning voltage in the accelerating burning stage is 447V, the current set value 1 is 240A, the current set value 2 is 260A, the current set value 3 is 275A, and the accelerating speed is 2.0mm/s; the electrified upsetting time in the upsetting stage is 2.0s, the upsetting time is 2.7s, and the upsetting amount is 16.8mm; there is no forging stage. In the comparative example, the maximum deflection of the steel rail flash welding head at three points is 6.6mm when the static bending load is 1557kN only, and the steel rail flash welding head is broken and can not meet the standard requirement.
The static bending test is to apply load to the rail joint at a certain loading rate by adopting a three-point or four-point supporting method until the load reaches a standard specified value and the maximum deflection is larger than the standard specified value, and then judge that the static bending performance of the joint is qualified, and different rail types correspond to different load and deflection values. The static bending load mainly shows the joint strength, the joint appearance and the internal defect index of the joint, and the deflection mainly shows the joint toughness index. If the welding process of the joint is poor, the joint is likely to break before the joint does not reach the standard specified load value due to the defects of gray spots, unfused or overburning, or the joint is hard or soft due to the improper matching of the heat input and the upsetting amount of the joint and the improper post-welding treatment method, so that the deflection of the joint does not reach the standard requirement
The maximum deflection of the steel rail flash welding head of the embodiment 1 is 23.5mm when the load of the three-point static bending is 2000kN, and the steel rail flash welding head is not broken; the maximum deflection of the steel rail flash welding head of the example 2 is 27.4mm when the load of the three-point static bending is 2200kN, and the steel rail flash welding head is not broken; the maximum deflection of the steel rail flash welding head of the embodiment 3 is 26.2mm when the load of three-point static bending is 2500kN, and no fracture occurs; the maximum deflection of the steel rail flash welding head of the example 4 is 20.1mm when the load of the three-point static bending is 2200kN, and the steel rail flash welding head is not broken; the maximum deflection of the steel rail flash welding head of the example 5 is 23.4mm when the load of three-point static bending is 2640kN, and no fracture occurs; the maximum deflection of the example 6 rail flash joint at a three-point static bending load of 2610kN was 21.2mm, and no fracture occurred.
The standard requirement of China for static bending is that the breaking load is not less than 1450kN (60 kg/m, rail head is pressed), and the deflection is not required; the loads of three-point static bending of the steel rail flash welding heads of the examples 1-6 are far greater than national standard (1450 kN).
The comparative example does not adopt the welding method in the patent of the invention for welding, and the maximum deflection of the steel rail flash welding head when the static bending load of three points is 1557kN is 6.6mm, so that the steel rail flash welding head is broken. The performance differences from the rails welded by the methods of examples 1-6 are large.
