With the rapid development of high-speed and heavy-duty railway
demand for the quality of rail and rail welded joint is higher. In order to improve the strength and hardne ss of steel rail
Panzhihua Steel(Group) developed PG5 U95 Cr hypereutectoid steel rail
Baotou Steel(Group)developed U20 Mn bainitic steel rail. The GAAS80/580 welding machine and induction heat treatment were used for welding and heat treating test. After the series testing as hammer
hardness
impact
tensile
fatigue and the static bending metallographic
the results of the performance tests show that the rail joints meet the standard requirements of TB/T1632-2014
