IMPROVEMENT OF RAILS FATIGUE LIFE BY ELECTRON-BEAM PROCESSING
Abstract
Quantitative and qualitative studies of the structure, phase composition, defective substructure, fracture surface of rail steel subjected to high-cycle fatigue to fracture with the initial pearlite structure and after electron beam treatment (EBT) in various modes were carried out. Layer-by-layer electron microscopic studies revealed the gradient nature of the structural-phase states, which is characterized by a regular change in the phase composition and parameters of the defective substructure with distance from the irradiation surface. The main factors and mechanisms that determine the fatigue life of rail steel in the initial state and after EPO were identified and analyzed. It was established that an increase in the fatigue life of steel irradiated with an electron beam is due to the formation of an acicular profile of the interface, which leads to dispersion of stress concentrators and contributes to a more uniform plastic flow in the substrate.
