Abstract
Analysis of technical characteristics of TsNIIN-4 electrodes used for repair of railway frogs showed a necessity in modernization of indicated electrodes and development of new sparsely-alloyed electrodes of similar designation on a basis of low-carbon wire Sv-08. The results of work on selection of optimum composition for gas-slag-forming system of coating and system for alloying of deposited metal as well as technical characteristics of modified electrodes TsNIIN-4M and new sparsely-alloyed electrodes ANN-10 are represented. Technical and economical advantages of new electrodes in comparison with TsNIIN-4 electrodes are shown. Specifications for TsNIIN-4M and ANN-10 grade electrodes were developed, agreed and registered in the «Ukrmetrteststandart» and technological process of their industrial production was created. Results of work on production of pilot-industrial batches of new electrodes and their testing are stated. Development of modern ANN-10 and TsNIIN-4M electrodes allows refusing from application of expensive high-alloy wire Sv-10Kh14G14N4T that reduces a prime cost of the electrodes and increases their competitiveness in the market of welding consumables. 6 Tables, 1 Figure.
