Abstract

The impact wear behavior and damage mechanism of dissimilar welded joints between U26Mn frog and U75V rail before and after normalizing treatment were studied by cyclic impact tests. The experiment indicated that the impact wear volume of the joints increased with the increasing number of impact cycles. The main wear mechanisms include pitting wear, mild fatigue wear, delamination wear, and fatigue wear, and plastic deformation was the primary impact wear mechanism. Among them, fatigue wear had the greatest influence on wear volume, while other wear mechanisms had limited effect. The impact wear resistance of the base material was better than that of the heat-affected zone. Normalizing treatment was beneficial to improving the impact wear resistance of welded joints owing to its effect to promote pearlite recovery, grain refinement, and uniform distribution of grains. The martensite generated in the rail welded joints aggravated the impact wear damage to the materials, which should be avoided.
