Study on the Temperature Field of U75V Rail in the Cooling Process Based on ANSYS

Abstract:

Uneven distribution of temperature is one of the important factors which influences heavy rail bending changes during the cooling process. Through the research of temperature field can reasonable analysis the heavy rail bending change rule, so it is necessary to study the temperature change rule during heavy rail cooling process. This paper adopts finite element analysis software ANSYS to set up three-dimensional models of U75V heavy rail and the cooling bed, and numerical simulate the cooling process. In which, it is studied the temperature changing rules and its distribution rules, emphatically analyzed temperature changing rule during the phase transition phase, and got the temperature changing rules and distribution rules in final cooling time. Especially, it is considered that the heavy rail placed on its side, the latent heat of phase transition and thermal radiation. This research can provide the theory basis and the advisory opinion on the formulation of cooling technological parameters and preflex regulations of the rail.
