Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of in situ repairing a mechanical defect in a rail of an existing train track for transporting passengers or goods with two parallel steel rails for rail traffic.
- the invention also relates to a rail obtained by a method of in situ repairing a mechanical defect in an existing rail.
- the invention is applicable to crane track rail.
- US-A-619 013 discloses the preventive, in the vicinity of an expansion joint in the rail, and at a fixed distance therefrom in the longitudinal direction of the rail, in the tread band of the rail head positioning of a prefabricated, cylindrical, smooth-walled plug of metal harder than the rail itself, in order to absorb impact of the train wheels in the vicinity of expansion joints in the rail.
- the distance to the expansion joint is not mentioned in this document, and is likely to be within 25 cm of the expansion joint, because the impacts of the train wheels also occur within this distance.
- the to be repaired rail in the operating state remains in the train line, for example, its for safe train traffic necessary mounting to the substrate, and its connection to the in its extension preceding and succeeding rail, for instance by a welded joint such as by welded or joint-free track, is maintained during the repair, so that, for example, the mounting of the damaged rail, is before, during and after the repair work substantially the same.
- upper face of the rail head is in particular understood to mean the plane that contains the tread for the wheels of the train and at which, respectively, across which the driving wheels of the train rest and drive, so the plane that provides the upper surface thereof during operation of the rail and/or is facing upwards.
- the hole is preferably vertical, or up to 10 degrees from the vertical, for example, the hole is made, for example, drilled with a drill, the orientation of which, for example, drill shaft, is vertical, or deviates up to 10 degrees from vertical during the operation, such as drilling.
- a measuring or inspection means is used, for example, a scanner (for example, equipped with a light source such as laser), or an image camera or with a magnetic field or electric or acoustic field or other field operating, that is, for example, on board of a vehicle such as a measuring train.
- the location of the repair lengthwise of the track will usually be arbitrary and, for example, depend on the result of a damage detection.
- the distance in rail longitudinal direction will thus be variable with respect to an expansion joint.
- a repair according to the invention can also be found further than 25 cm from the dilatation joint, for example, more than 50 or 100 or or 150 or 200 cm.
- a damage occurs, which usually occurs only after the track is in use for some time, for example, a minimum of one month or a year or two or five years.
- the damage is mainly caused by train traffic that drives the railroad.
- a piece is removed from the upper part of the rail head of a steel rail situated in the railroad so that a hole is formed in the tread band while the lower portion of the rail head, the rail web and the rail foot are not affected.
- the hole is then filled with a prefabricated, tightly fitting and form-stable plug of steel which is permanently fixed to the surrounding material of the rail head in order to restore the original geometry of the rail.
- securing involves an interference fit, for instance in that the plug in a shrunken state, for example in that it is significantly colder, for example at least 50 or 100 or 150 degrees Centigrade colder (e.g., cooled by liquid CO2 or N2 or 02), then to be repaired rail, is placed in the hole.
- the plug having a diameter equal to or slightly smaller than the hole diameter is placed in the hole and subsequently the plug is allowed to expand, for instance in that the plug heats up to the temperature of the rail head, so that the plug diameter is trying to increase and thus the plug clamps into the hole.
- the plug is placed unshrunken, with the plug diameter initially greater than the hole diameter and by insertion into the hole is forced by the hole wall to decrease in diameter.
- cylindrical or parallelepipedic for the plug, one or more of the following applies: cylindrical or parallelepipedic; height greater than 5 or 10 mm and/or less than 30 or 20 or 15 mm; diameter greater than 5, or 10 mm and/or less than 40 or 30 or 25 mm; Contiguous edges are perpendicular to each other; an axial taper of not more than 3, 2 or 1 degrees; of an alloy substantially identical with those of the rail head; one or more of tensile strength, yield point, elongation at rupture and hardness, is substantially equal or greater to that of the rail head; flat bottom and/or top side; contains one or more of Fe, Cr, Mn, Si.
- the hole one or more of the following applies: cylindrical or parallelepiped; depth greater than 5 or 10 mm and/or less than 30 or 20 or 15 mm; depth less than 50% of the height of the rail head; diameter greater than 5 or 10 mm and/or less than 40 or 30 or 25 mm; diameter less than 50% of the width of the rail head; Contiguous edges are perpendicular to each other; an axial taper of no more than 3, 2 or 1 degrees; at least 10 or 15 or 20 mm distance from the sides of the rail head; is located in the contact area between the drive or running surface of the wheels of the train and the upper surface of the rail head; made by spark machining or drilling or milling, or other machining, preferably milling with a milling tool so that a flat hole bottom is created, and after milling the hole bottom and wall are not exposed to a the quality, in particular, the accuracy of one or more of roundness, depth and the diameter of the hole improving mechanical machining with a tool and/or with a milling tool of which the diameter is equal to
- the shape of the hole and the plug are preferably adjusted to each other such that when the plug is inserted into the hole, the bottom and/or side walls of the hole and plug make large-scale intimate contact with each other.
- the upper surface of the plug protrudes slightly above the upper side (the top side is the tread band) of the rail head, preferably at least 0.05 and/or less than 0.1 mm, and then the upper surface of the plug is reduced by a machining operation such as grinding or sanding so that the upper surface of the plug comes to lie flush with the upper surface of the rail head.
- the plug is located in the hole in a sunk state, and after the placing of the plug is completed liquid steel is poured onto the plug in the hole so that the sink above the plug is completely filled with the initially shape free steel.
- the plug is driven into the hole by hammering or pressing.
- This repair is particularly suitable for so-called. squats.
- a squat or other damage of the tread band is detected in the rail of the railway taken into operation, is removed by making the hole with a diameter and depth so that the damaged area is completely removed, then the gap is filled up with the plug.
- This repair is primarily intended for one or more of: welded or jointless track; rail curve; switch, for example, frog or stock rail or tongue.
- This repair is primarily intended for a rail with one of the following steel alloys: manganese steel; Hadfield steel; rail according to EN 13674-1 and/or ProRail RLN 00127-1; Steel with apart from one or more other elements, constituents and/or impurities, Fe (iron) and one or more of: C (carbon); Si (silicon); Mn (manganese); Cr (chromium).
- the hardness (Brinell) of the track head and/or the driving surface is preferably at least 200 or 220 or 250 or 260 or 300 or 320 or 350 or 370 or 375 or 400.
- the rail may be heat treated.
- Fe is the main component, for example at least 50% or 80%.
- C minimum 0.3 or 0.4 or 0.5 or 0.6 or 0.7 or 0.9 and/or up to 0.6 or 0.8 or 1 or 1.1 or 1.2 or 1, 3 or 1.5.
- Si minimum 0.1 or 0.15 or 0.2 or 0.4 or 0.5 and/or up to 0.6 or 0.8 or 1 or 1.1 or 1.2 or 1.5.
- Mn minimum 0.1 or 0.5 or 0.7 or 0.8 or 1 or 1.3 and/or up to 1.1 or 1.2 or 1.3 or 1.7 or 2.
- Cr minimum 0 , 1 or 0.2 or 0.4 or 0.8 and/or up to 0.15 or 0.3 or 0.6 or 1.2 or 1.5 or 2.
- the rail to be repaired is, for example, of Vignole type or grooved rail type, for example, UIC54 or UIC60 or S33 or EB63 or MRS73 or PRI85 and/or has a weight of at least 40 or 45 or 50 kilos per linear meter.
- the repair is performed to jointless track and/or a track for which the neutral temperature is between 20 and 27, for example is 23, 24, 25 or 26 degrees Celsius.
- the rail 10 has a foot 12, web 13 and head 14.
- the head 14 includes a squat 15 caused by the train wheels. From the tread surface 50 is machined a vertical hole 20 at the place of the squat 15 ( FIG. 3 ).
- the defect 15 is located, is removed so that a cylindrical hole 20 is formed, a precisely fitting, slightly upwards protruding plug 21 is placed in the hole, the top of the plug is machined with a tool 120 ( Fig. 6 ), so that a smooth riding surface is obtained.
- Fig. 3 shows dotted the wedge-shaped repair described in WO2011119238A1 which extends through the entire rail head and continues into the rail web. This clearly shows the difference with our invention.
- Fig. 3 also shows in sectional side view a detail of the rail head to show the pure cylindrical shape of the hole.
