Their cross-sectional dimensions shall meet the requirements of Appendix A. 6.2 Bolt holes and rail end chamfers Welded rails do not need to be machined of bolt holes. When bolt holes are required, the bolt holes of the rail shall be chamfered at 45°, according to the corresponding requirements in Appendix A; the depth of the chamfer shall be 0.8 mm ~ 2.0 mm. 6.3 Rail length and tolerance 6.3.1 Rail length 6.3.1.4 The length of curvilinear shortened rails for rails, which have a fixed length of 75 m and 100 m, shall be negotiated between the supplier and the purchaser; the collocation quantity of the short rails shall be indicated in the contract. 6.3.2 Length tolerance The tolerance of the length of the rail shall comply with the provisions in Table 3. 6.4 Weight Rails are delivered by theoretical weight. See Appendix A for calculation data. The density of steel is 7.85 g/cm3.

7 Technical requirements

7.1 Manufacturing method 7.1.1 The steel shall be smelted by oxygen converter or electric arc furnace. It shall be refined outside the furnace and vacuum degassed. 7.1.2 During the rolling process, the iron scale shall be removed by high-pressure jetting. 7.1.3 The rolling reduction ratio of rails shall not be less than 9.1. 7.2 Designation and chemical composition 7.2.1 The designation, chemical composition, residual elements (smelting analysis) of the steel shall comply with the provisions in Table 4, Table 5, 7.2.2, 7.2.3.Residual elements may be exempted from inspection, if the supplier can guarantee it. 7.2.2 The hydrogen content of molten steel shall not exceed 2.5 × 10-4%. When the hydrogen content of molten steel is greater than 2.5 × 10-4%, the steel billet or rail shall be subject to retarded cooling. The hydrogen content of the finished rail shall not exceed 2.0 × 10-4%. 7.3 Delivery status Rails shall be delivered in the state of hot rolling or on-line heat treatment. 7.4 Mechanical properties Designation Chemical composition (mass fraction) % 7.4.2 The mechanical properties of heat-treated rails shall meet the requirements in Table 7.On the same rail, the range of hardness variation shall not exceed 30 HBW. 7.5 Microstructure The microstructure of the rail shall be pearlite; there may be a small amount of ferrite, which is distributed along the grain boundaries; BUT there shall be no martensite, bainite and reticular cementite, which are distributed along the grain boundaries. 7.6 Decarburized layer The inspection range of the decarburized layer of the rail is as shown in Figure 2.The depth -- from the surface to the continuous and closed ferrite network -- is not greater than 0.5 mm, as shown in Figure 3. 7.9 Ultrasonic flaw detection 7.9.1 Ultrasonic flaw detection shall comply with the provisions of YB/T 951. 7.9.2 Rails shall be inspected by full-length ultrasonic flaw detection one by one. 7.10.2 There shall be no delamination or cracks on the end face of the rail and the surface of the bolt hole; the burrs on the edge shall be removed. 7.11 Residual stress on rail bottom The maximum longitudinal residual tensile stress of the rail bottom shall not be greater than 250 MPa. 7.14 Fracture toughness (KIC) The minimum and average values of the fracture toughness (KIC) of rail, which is measured at the test temperature of -20 °C, in accordance with the requirements of Appendix D, shall comply with the provisions in Table 12.

The magnification is 500 times under the metallographic microscope; the test is carried out according to the method specified in GB/T 13298. 8.4 Inspection of decarburized layer Measure the depth of the continuous closed ferrite network, at any part of the surface layer of the rail head, as specified in Figure 2 (see Figure 3). The test shall be carried out according to the method of GB/T 224. 8.5 Inspection of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen content 8.5.1 Hydrogen content 8.5.2 Oxygen content, nitrogen content For the determination of oxygen content and nitrogen content, take samples from the molten steel and allow them to solidify, OR take samples from the rail head.

Each batch consists of rails, which are rolled from billets as continuously poured by several furnaces of molten steel of the same designation and model. 9.4 Re-inspection and judgment 9.4.1 Chemical composition If the chemical composition and hydrogen content are unqualified, re-inspection shall not be performed. When the oxygen and nitrogen elements are unqualified, re- inspection shall be carried out, for each batch of steel. The rails of qualified furnaces can be accepted after re-inspection; the rails of unqualified furnaces shall not be accepted. 9.4.2 Tensile test If the result of the initial inspection is unqualified, a re-inspection sample shall be taken from the other two rails of the same furnace for re-inspection. 9.4.3 Decarburized layer, non-metallic inclusions 9.4.4 Macrostructure 9.4.4.1 Rail white spots shall not be re-inspected. 9.4.4.2 When the macrostructure preliminary inspection does not meet the requirements 9.4.5 Microstructure When the inspection results do not meet the requirements, re-inspect samples from two adjacent rails in the same batch. 9.5 Numerical rounding off The rounding off of the test results of mechanical properties shall be carried out, in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 228.1.The rounding of values of other test results shall be carried out, in accordance with the provisions of YB/T 081. ......
