Research of Three Dimensional Finite Element Simulation of Rail during Cooling and Pre-Bending Process

Abstract:

In this paper, with the thermal mechanical coupled method and the whole rolling process simulation result using as the initial thermal field, the thermal field and deformation of rail during cooling have been simulated, then rail pre-bending process is proposed according rail bending deformation curve during cooling The results show that the bending curve formula fitting by rail cooling deformation curve is accurate comparing with the actual situation. Moreover, pre-bending process is set by fitting formula, and the rail recovers straightly after cooling.
