AUTOMATIC SUBMERGED-SLAG WELDING OF RAILS (REPORT 2)

A new method of automatic fusion welding of rail has been developed. The rail base is welded with the submerged arc welding process, then the area above the web with the electroslag welding process. This method assures good quality of welded joint, high productivity and applicability to the field conditions. Preheating and postheating are not necessary. The process of welding, countermeasures for prevention of welding defects and test results on welded joint are described.
