Abstract
Determined is the effect of the width of an insert of stainless steel 08Kh18N10T in pulsed flash-butt welding of steel 110G13L to M76 on the structural strength and wear resistance of the Joints. It is shown that variation of insert width in the range from 10 to 40 mm hardly has any effect on performance of railway frogs
Keywords: flash-butt welding, pulsed flashing, high-manganese steel, rail steel, austenitic steel, insert width
