Improving the technology of aluminothermic rail welding based on software simulation [PDF]
Abstract One of the modern methods of connecting railway rails when creating a continuous welded track is thermite welding. The gap between the rails, into which the metal is poured, is 25 mm. However, when repairing rails on the way, it may not be enough to eliminate the defective rail section.
