Objective 2 Introduction 2 Railway rail 2 Function. 2 Considerations when selecting a method of casting 3 Casting Methods 3 Continuous casting 3 Analysis of casting methods 4 Rolling 4 Elements of casting and rolling to be controlled 5 Defects in Casting and Rolling 6 Possible rail failures if defects are not controlled 7 Conclusion 8 Reference 9 Objective The aim of this assignment is to describe a suitable manufacturing process and route for producing rail. The report will also describe the critical elements of casting and rolling which need to be controlled in order to optimize the mechanical properties of rail. The typical defects which might be found if the casting and rolling processes are not adequately controlled will be outlined as well as the potential rail failures which might be encountered if rolling and casting defects are left uncontrolled. Introduction The way in which a product is made has a big effect on the quality of the product. The demands on rail quality are high because of the condition of use and functions. It is vitally important therefore that...
