Railway Applications - Track - Restoration of Rails by Electric Arc Welding
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 15594 standard focuses on the restoration of railheads using electric arc welding. The standard specifically addresses the quality-related tasks and responsibilities of personnel involved in this type of rail repair. It applies to plain rail and switches and crossings made from specific rail grade ranges mentioned in the standard.
The standard primarily discusses the approval systems for consumables and procedures used in manual metal arc (MMA) and flux cored arc welding (FCAW) for rail repair. It outlines the permitted welding processes, which are limited to electric arc welding in accordance with EN ISO 4063. The specific welding processes covered in the standard are MMA (Process No 111) and FCAW (Process No 114).
The standard can be implemented in various locations, including in situ (on-site), line side, or at out-of-track locations. However, it is important to note that the flash welded leg ends of austenitic manganese steel crossings are excluded from the scope of this standard.
