Investigation of the Operational Reliability of the Rolled Rails According to the Various Technologies

Abstract

Based on experimental studies of the complex mechanical properties and microstructure, as well as simulation of rails rolling modes made from different steel manufacturers are shown the main technological approaches to obtain rails with high operational reliability . Found that, under the current production technology of domestic steel rails the adjustment of the chemical composition, temperature-deformation modes of rolling and cooling speed rate of the rails is suitable for reducing the negative free ferrite influence on rails durability.
