EN 14587-1:2007 (E) 5 Introduction This part of EN 14587 has five main topics: a) requirements of a welding process; b) procedure approval

25、 for a fixed plant; c) approval of other rail profiles or grade; d) approval of the welding contractor; e) weld production following approval. This part of EN 14587 has been occasioned by a European Directive that will permit the freedom of an open European market. To enable this perception to becom

26、e a reality, it is essential a standard is in place that satisfies the needs of the infrastructure owners or custodians and reflects the production capabilities of the manufacturers in technical and quality terms. EN 14587-1:2007 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for the ap

27、proval of a welding process in a fixed plant, together with the requirements for subsequent welding production. It applies to new Vignole railway rails R220, R260, R260Mn and R350HT grade rails of 46 kg/m and above, as contained in EN 13674-1, welded by flash butt welding in a fixed plant and intend

28、ed for use on railway infrastructure. This European Standard applies to the welding of rails into welded strings. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

39、N 14587-1:2007 (E) 8 5 Requirements for the welding process 5.1 General All welding shall be carried out on a flash butt welding machine (FBWM) using an automatic, programmed welding sequence. 5.2 Clamping force Rails shall be secured in the FBWM by clamps of such a surface shape or contour, that wh

40、en a clamping force is exerted on the rails, it shall not damage the rail in such a way that subsequent cracking in the rail in operation is generated, see 6.4.1. 5.3 Pre-heating The fronts of the heating area shall progress uniformly perpendicularly to the running surface during the whole cycle. Th

41、ere shall be no evidence of local melting on the ends of the rails during pre-heating. 5.4 Flashing Once initiated, flashing shall be continuous. 5.5 Upsetting Upsetting shall immediately follow flashing. Sufficient forging pressure shall be applied to ensure that voids are closed and oxides are exp

42、elled such that they are kept to a minimum at the weld interface. The weld interface shall extend into the upset. 5.6 Upset current The upset welding current shall be maintained until the rapid forge has finished and the progressive forging commences. 5.7 Unclamping In order to maintain the alignmen

43、t, the time between completion of forging and unclamping shall be a minimum of 4 s. 5.8 Welding parameters 5.8.1 The welding machine and/or management system equipment shall be capable of displaying the following; a) programme identification and setting details; b) welding current; c) upset force or

44、 pressure; d) displacement; e) welding time. 5.8.2 The welding parameters shall be determined during procedural trials. Once approval has been granted, the welding parameters shall not be changed, with the exception of changes concerning the environments in 5.8.4. EN 14587-1:2007 (E) 9 5.8.3 The wel

45、ding parameters shall be monitored and recorded. These records shall be referenced to the appropriate welds. 5.8.4 The welding parameters shall permit the production of welds without any alteration to the program, at rail temperatures of 10 C and above. Alterations of preheating parameters due to va

46、rious rail temperatures are not considered as alterations to the welding program. A bending test according to 6.4.5 shall be carried out in this case. NOTE Owing to extreme variations in seasonal temperatures, the manufacturer may request the use of alternative welding programs. 5.9 Steps across the

47、 weld 5.9.1 Any step between the rails across the weld in the trimmed but not dressed condition shall not exceed those dimensions shown in Table 1. 5.9.2 Checks shall be made at a position 20 mm on each side of the weld upset centreline using a 1 m nibbed straight edge and feeler shims as shown in F
