Railway applications - Track - Restoration of rails by electric arc welding
This European Standard specifies restoration by electric arc welding and is limited to the head of the rails only.
This European Standard describes the approval systems for consumables and procedures used in manual metal arc and flux cored metal deposit rail repair welding. The standard includes the quality-related tasks and responsibilities of personnel involved in the electric arc repair welding of rails. The standard applies to plain rail and switches and crossings manufactured from new vignole railway rails R200, R220, R260, R260Mn and R350HT grade rails of 46 kg/m and above as contained in EN 13674-1.
The permitted welding processes are limited to Electric Arc (EA) in accordance with EN ISO 4063 and are by description Process No 111: MMA (Manual Metal Arc) and Process No 114: FCAW (Flux Cored Arc Welding). Their applications are described.
This European Standard may be applied in situ, at line side or at out of track locations. The flash welded leg ends of austenitic manganese steel crossings are included in this standard, except when located within 500 mm of manganese crossings.

applications sont décrites.
Les procédés de soudage autorisés sont limités aux procédés de soudage à l’arc électrique conformément à
l’EN ISO 4063 et décrits par le Procédé n° 111 pour l’électrode enrobée et le Procédé n° 114 pour le fil fourré.
La présente norme peut être applicable in situ, en ou hors voie. Les antennes soudées par étincelage aux
coeurs d’appareils de voie en acier austénitique au manganèse sont incluses dans la présente norme, à
l’exception des zones situées à moins de 500 mm de l’acier au manganèse.

Deposits shall be subjected to magnetic particle inspection (MT) in accordance with EN 1290 or dye penetrant inspection (PT) in accordance with EN 571-1. 4.6.3 Description of the sample for laboratory test Figures 1 and 2 describe the requirements of sample size, excavation details and preheat measurement positions. Pre-heat point A shall be 75 mm from the end of the excavation on the running surface. Pre-heat point B shall be at the full railhead flange height. Length of the sample C shall be 600 mm minimum.
Figure 1 — Position of preheat measurement and sample size The transverse excavation for trials shall be 100 % of the railhead width. SIST EN 15594:2009

This deposition is without any excavation. 4.6.4.2 Description The sample shall be a minimum length of 600 mm in an appropriate grade of rail steel. The sample shall be lightly ground on the running surface to give a clean oxide-free finish. The sample shall be preheated in accordance with the pWPS and the position of pre-heat measurement in accordance with 4.6.3. For MMA only the deposit shall be made to maximum electrode recovery using the manufacturer’s parameters. 4.6.4.3 Deposit examination and assessment The deposit shall be cleaned removing all slag and spatter. Initially, the deposit shall be examined visually in the as-welded condition. Following visual examination the bead shall be ground until 0,5 mm – 0,8 mm remains above the rail surface. Following grinding the deposit shall be examined using visual and MT or PT methods. The deposit shall be assessed in accordance with 4.6.9. If the weld deposit fails MT or PT examination the test shall be terminated. The approval of this consumable for welding this grade shall be declined. SIST EN 15594:2009
