Rail degradation due to thermite weld discontinuities:Field experience [PDF]
This paper details the field-testing approach and results of thermite welds used in railway applications. Rail steels made from R260 grades are welded by two different processes: the standard process according to the European standards, and a recent ...

A new welding method, ultranarrow gap welding with constrained arc by flux band, is proposed to compensate for the low quality of rail thermite welded joints. This article presents the results of research on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ultranarrow gap welded joints of U71Mn rail steel made using three types of alloying composition ...

Residual stresses in thermite welded rails: significance of additional forging [PDF]
The aluminothermic welding (ATW) process is the most commonly used welding process for welding rails (track) in the field. The large amount of weld metal added in the ATW process may result in a wide uneven surface zone on the rail head, which may, in ...

The effect of white etching layer patches on a larger rail defect [PDF]
Manufacturing defects such as porosity that formed in the rail could result in catastrophic failure if it remain in service. In this study, a crack that initiated from a large void was modelled using boundary element model to investigate the effect of ...

Methods of elimination of rails increased damage in the area of weld joints
Rail weld joints from electric-contact welding in stationary and fi eld conditions, as well as those from aluminothermic welding are weak points on tracks that are easily damaged compared with rails outside the weld joints.
