Popis: TEC-DT differential heat hardening technology is developed based on the process of digital control of air humidity by high-efficiency mixing of air flows and the water ejected by it. The wide-range cooling rate control (2–14°C/s) makes it possible to heat hardened rails made of different steels, such as carbon steels, with a wide range of carbon content, and microalloyed and alloyed steels, while achieving the level of properties required for rails of both general and special purposes (low-temperature reliability and increased wear resistance). The rails, differentially hardened by reheating, have a highly dispersed pearlite structure, and a high level of ductility, impact strength, fatigue strength, and survivability.
