Analysis on the Operation Methods of Rail Welding and Postweld Heat Treatment in the Track Change Overhaul of Existing Railway Lines

Abstract

Based on the analysis of operation methods of rail welding and postweld heat treatment in the track change overhaul of existing railway lines at home and abroad, this paper puts forward the existing problems in the operation methods of off-line welding and on-line welding in China, and puts forward the solutions to the existing problems. When this operation mode is used for on-line welding, it can reduce the quality risk in the heat treatment process of low-temperature locking joint; in case of broken track and urgent repair of broken track, this method can eliminate secondary shunting and facilitate the recovery of the line as soon as possible.
