QU80 Crane Rail Welding Material and Welding Process


QU80 Crane Rail Welding Material and Welding Process
Since the shape of the end face of the QU80 crane rail is complicated, the welding of the QU80 crane rail waist and the QU80 crane rail top needs to be continuously performed. Such welding method is completely different from the slag removal of each section of the welding. It requires the viscosity of the slag of the electrode to be small at a high temperature and the specific gravity should be small. The slag is not easily wrapped in the weld metal during welding, and the slag floats in the separation of the liquid metal. According to the characteristics of this process, the previous slag system was adjusted to improve the alkalinity of the slag, appropriately increase the content of Mn in the alloy composition, and improve the process performance of the electrode.
Before welding, the electrode is dried at 350 ° C – 400 ° C. Place the electrode in the insulated tub before use. The material of the QU80 crane rail is U71Mn, and the QU80 crane rail has a certain difference from the shape of the rail. The width of the rail top is relatively thick, and the slag is not easily removed during welding. At the beginning of the test, the middle of the rail waist or the lower corner of the rail head often showed no penetration. Sometimes, slag inclusions will appear in these areas. In order to solve this problem, the electrode strip formulation was further improved, and the mold was modified to increase the thickness of the inner wall of the mold. During welding process, the welding current of the rail waist is increased from 180A to 200A. When the welding enters the top of the rail, the welding current should be correspondingly small to prevent the base material at the top of the rail from overheating, and at the same time, the weld bead is fine and the surface is well formed. The time to solder the entire joint is approximately 30 minutes. The QU80 lifting rail is high carbon steel with a carbon content of 0.65%-0.77%. The welding performance is poor. In order to prevent quenching structure or martensite in the near seam area of the rail, the welding of the lifting rail must be heat treated. Preheating above 350 °C is necessary before welding to reduce the cooling rate of the weld zone and ensure the welding quality of the rail. The metallographic structure photograph was analyzed. The metallographic structure of the base metal was not pearlite, and the heat affected zone was not quenched. The main one was fine pearlite.
The static bending test of the actual butt joint was carried out on a 200-ton press. The test span was 1 meter and the top of the rail was facing upwards. A total of 5 tests were carried out, and the average result was 1112 KN. The fracture of the static bending specimen was examined, and as a result, no welding defects such as slag inclusions were found.

Welding Process of Overhead Crane Rail Joint

Welding Process of Overhead Crane Rail Joint In order to make the overhead crane rail transport more stable, rail splints will not be used for the overhead crane rail joint connection, but welded joint connection will be used. The main key to the welded joint is to solve the bending deformation and weld cracking of the overhead crane rail joint. During the welding process of the overhead crane rail joint, the overhead crane rail joint is deformed downwardly, so the overhead crane rail end must be padded to a certain height before welding to ensure that the rail joint can be kept straight after the welding is completed. The height of the rail end pad is determined by factors such as the type of rail, length, fixing method and ambient temperature. The rails are fixed to the crane beam by means of hook bolts, and each joint is provided with four fixed points. After the bottom of the rail is welded, reduce the height to 20mm, and then tighten the hook bolts to continue welding. When the o...

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...
