PHYSICAL NATURE OF RAILS STRENGTHENING DURING LONG OPERATION

Abstract
Rails operation (500 and 1000 mln. t. gross tonnage passed) leads to considerable enhancement of surface layer. The quantitative analysis of rails strengthening mechanisms at different distances from the rolling surface after the long-term operation was carried out using the results of transmission electron microscopy studies. It was shown that enhancement has multifactor character and depends on substructure strengthening caused by nanosize fragments formation; dispersion strengthening by carbide phase particles; strengthening caused by dislocation atmospheres formation; internal stress fields formed by intraand interface boundaries. Significant increase of surface layer strength of rail steel under long term operation (1000 mln tons gross passed tonnage) depends on far acting stress fields formed in material and material fragmentation with nanosize structure formation.
