EFFECT OF HYDROGEN IN RAIL STEEL AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF HYDROGEN-DEPRESSING MELTING OPERATIONS

ZUR WIRKUNG VON WASSERSTOFF IN SCHIENENSTAHL UND MOE-GLICHKEITEN EINER WASSERSTOFFARMEN ERSCHMELZUNG

This is a report of investigations undertaken to determine the causes of flake formation in three grades of wear resisting rail steels (0.80 to 2.10% Mn) and a special Mn-Cr (about 1% Mn and 0.9% Cr) steel. The role of hydrogen and the effects of individual alloying and adventitious elements on hydrogen content and distribution are analyzed. Methods for reducing the hydrogen content of steels by controlled cooling, vacuum degassing, and low hydrogen melting are described.
