PERFORMANCE OF WELDED JOINTS IN RAILS

It is shown that high-carbon and chromium alloy steel joints, produced by butt welding, possess reduced resistance to impact loading in comparison with the base metal although they have otherwise excellent mechanical properties. Gas-pressure welding insures greater resistance of the joints to impact loading in comparison with resistance flash welding.
