Welding of Crane Rail Flat Steel and Q235 Steel

Welding of Crane Rail Flat Steel and Q235 Steel

The fixing of the crane rail flat steel is not fixed by the common pressing plate, but the crane rail steel flat is welded to the bottom plate, and then the bottom plate is bolted to the upper steel structure of the slow cooling pit, so that the crane rail flat steel can be fixed to the upper steel structure of the slow cooling pit. The higher carbon equivalent causes strong harden tendency of the workpiece during the rapid cooling process after welding, and a hard and brittle martensite structure appears in the heat affected zone of the base metal, especially near the weld line. Under the action of welding stress, the tensile strength of the hard and brittle martensite structure is exceeded, causing it to crack and generate cold cracks. Welding of crane rail flat steel and Q235 low carbon steel belongs to dissimilar steel welding. Q235 steel is a kind common carbon structural steel with good weldability. The crane rail flat steel is usually high carbon steel, and the hot shadow area after welding is prone to cold cracks. Therefore, the welding of the crane rail flat steel and the Q235 low carbon steel is mainly to solve the problem of cracks generated after the welding of the rail heat affected zone. According to the general welding specifications, for the welding of carbon steel of different strength grades,  the welding material should be selected to ensure that the tensile strength of the weld metal, which should be higher than or equal to the lower limit of the parent metal standard on the lower strength side.
Before welding, the rust, oil, moisture and other impurities within 50mm on both sides of the weld should be removed. For electrode arc welding, the electrode needs to be baked at 350°C for 1 hour, and it can be used as needed. For CO2 gas shielded welding, it is necessary to put the CO2 gas cylinder upside down and drain the water in the bottle to check that the dryer is in good condition. Before welding, the crane rail flat steel side was heated to 350°C with an oxyacetylene flame within 100 mm, and the temperature was measured by the temperature measurement ratio. Then welding should be according to certain parameters, continuous welding is to ensure that the interlayer temperature is not less than the preheating temperature. After welding, the weld bead and the side of the crane rail flat steel base material should be slowly cooled with aluminum silicate fiber felt immediately. After cooling to room temperature, the weld should be inspected, and after the coloration flaw detection, no cracks were observed in the arc welding of the electrode. However, there was crack in the middle of the arc-welding section of the first weld side with the CO2 gas shielded welding. On the second day of the arc welding of the electrode, crack was found in the heat-affected zone on the side of the rail appeared crack along the fusion line. After the arc welding of the electrode, there is a delayed crack in the heat affected zone of the rail. It may be because of the uncomplete slow cooling after welding. After the welding, the aluminum silicate fiber felt does not completely wrap the crane rail flat steel, and the martensite structure is hardened in the heat-affected zone, and steel rail cracks under the welding stress. The CO2 gas shielded welding heat is concentrated, the heat affected zone is narrow, and the hardening tendency is small, so there is no crack in the heat affected zone of the rail. However, for the welding lines s on both sides of the crane rail flat steel, cracks appear in the middle of the weld side of the former welding, which is caused by the simultaneous weld lines welding of the welds on both sides. When the first weld side weld is not completely crystallized, the other side begins to weld. Under the welding stress of the back weld side, the weld on the weld side is not completely crystallized and cracked, so that cracks will not appear in the middle of the welding line.

What are railway rail fasteners?

What are railway rail fasteners? Railway rail fasteners Railway rail fasteners are a kind of railway accessories. The parts used to combine rails and sleepers (or other types of under-rail foundations) on the track are also called central joint parts. Its function is to fix the steel rail on the sleeper, maintain the gauge and prevent the longitudinal and lateral movement of the rail relative to the sleeper. The railway rail fastener system is divided into the shrapnel fastener system, gusset fastener system, and elastic strip fastener system. The gusset-type fastener is composed of a gusset plate, a threaded spike, a spring washer, an iron seat, and a buffer pad. The threaded spike is anchored in the reserved hole of the concrete sleeper bearing platform with sulfur cement mortar, and then bolts are used to fasten the buckle. Plate fastened. There are elastic strips I, II, and III types of clip fasteners. Type I elastic strip is composed of ω elastic strip,  screw spike , gauge b...

  What are seamless rails? seamless rails Continuous seamless rails, also known as a welded long rail line, is a line that welds ordinary rails without leaving rail seams. meters or longer. The long rails are laid and fixed on the sleepers within the specified temperature range. There are rail slits at the end of the long rail, and the middle part cannot expand or contract with the temperature rise and fall. Therefore, the middle section of the steel rail will generate a large temperature pressure in summer and a large temperature tension in winter. The large pressure and tensile force in the rail can be calculated according to the annual high and low temperature of the place where the rail is laid. The large pressure on the rail should not cause the rail to buckle, and the large tensile force should not cause the rail to break. The seamless rails line greatly reduces the  rail joints , reduces the impact on the rails when the wheels pass through the joints, is conducive to s...
