    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a welding base metal for recycling a railway wheel and a method for recycling a railway wheel using the same, which can overlay-weld a railway wheel with a welding base metal suitable for overlay-welding a railway wheel through a heat treatment, form a surface hardened layer, and strengthen the metal structure of the railway wheel, in order to recycle the railway wheel.
    The welding base metal for recycling a railway wheel may be used as a surface hardened layer of a railway wheel because the welding base metal has high hardness while exhibiting a similar property to the railway wheel. Furthermore, the welding base metal can change the metal structure of the recycled railway wheel, and thus delay the initial wear time of the recycled railway wheel. The method for recycling a railway wheel may overlay-weld the damaged railway wheel to its original size, form a surface hardened layer, and change the metal structure of the railway wheel by changing the composition of the welding base metal and performing the pre-heat treatment and the post heat treatment, thereby minimizing the occurrence of damage to the recycled railway wheel.

    摘要: A method for automated circumferential welding of a workpiece by means of at least one welding device, including: (a) determining a further weld path for a further weld to be welded on the workpiece, the further weld extending from a start point, via a downstream part to a stop point, (b) determining first welding parameters associated with the further weld and adapted to weld the further weld on the workpiece, the first welding parameters are adapted to transfer a first level of heat to the workpiece, (c) identifying at least one overlap area in the further weld path between the downstream part and the start point of the further weld or between the further weld and a start or stop point of a previous weld, (d) determining a boost area, the boost area including the at least one overlap area, (e) determining boost welding parameters associated with the boost area and adapted to weld the further weld in the boost area, the boost welding parameters are adapted to transfer a second level of heat to the workpiece, the second level of heat exceeding the first level of heat, and (f) welding the further weld from the start point to the stop point thereof, the first welding parameters are selected for welding of the further weld outside the boost area, and the boost welding parameters are selected for welding the further weld inside the boost area.
