What is Weldability of Austempered Rail Steel Using the Flash-butt Process about?

## Abstract In this study, bainitic microstructure was formed via heat treatmenton R260 rail steel, which is generally used in railways. Bainitic steel, which is considered more advantageous than current rail steel, waswelded by flash butt welding, which is often used for joining rails andthe mechanical and microstructure of the samples were thenexamined and compared. Bainitic structural steel obtained by austempering heattreatment with normal rail steel was welded by flash butt welding. Flash-butt welding parameters were kept constant during the experiment. The welding capabilities of the joints were compared and the results wereevaluated. It was determined that the bainite structure obtained as a result of austempering heat treatment changes the microstructuralproperties of the samples and affects the mechanical values of the joints.
