Research on Repair Welding Processes of a Bainite Steel Frog

Abstract:

This paper introduced a kind of bainite steel used for frog, and studied its repair welding processes. In this paper, four different welding processes were designed. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, vicker hardness tester, wear tester, impact tester, and high temperature abrasion tester were used to test microstructures, hardness, wear weight loss, impact absorbing energy and wear morphology. The conclusion was that when the current was 120A and the preheat temperature was 250°C the hardness of surfacing metal was the highest, the wear weight loss was least and the impact absorbing energy was the highest. In practical repairing works, this process could be considered.
