USE OF AUTOMATIC WELDING ON FRENCH NATIONAL RAILWAYS FOR REPAIRING RAILS ON THE TRACK

LA REPARATION DES RAILS EN VOIE PAR SOUDAGE AUTOMATIQUE

The authors describe how mechanization of manual electric arc-welding for repairs makes it possible to speed up the deposit of the metal and enable large defects to be rectified. The electrodes have had to be replaced by a welding wire consisting of a metallic ribbon enclosing a powdered substance. The design and operation of the equipment is discussed.
