The present invention relates to a pearlitic steel rail having the significantly improved wear resistance and weldability (welding construction, properties of the welded joints) that rails for heavy load are required to have, and a process for producing the same. The present invention particularly relates to a pearlitic steel rail excellent in wear resistance and weldability, comprising, in terms of weight, more than 0.85 to 1.20 of C, 0.10 to 1.00% of Si, 0.20 to 1.50% of Mn, more than 0.50 to 1.00% of Cr, or comprising more than 0.85 to 1.20% of C, 0.40 to 1.00% of Si, 0.20 to less than 0.40% of Mn, 0.35 to 0.50% of Cr, the content sum Si/4 + Mn/2 + Cr being 0.80 to 0.95% or being 0.8 to 1.8% in terms of weight, further comprising, in terms of weight, one or at least two elements selected from the group consisting of Mo, V, Nb and B and the balance Fe and unavoidable impurities, and having a pearlite structure to the depth of at least 20 mm from the head portion corner and the head top surface as a starting point, the pearlite structure having a Vickers hardness of at least 320, the difference in Vickers hardness between the base steel and the welded joint of the steel rail being made up to 30 to prevent a wear dent caused by the local wear of the rail top surface in the welded joint without impairing the weldability.

L'invention porte sur des rails d'acier à structure perlitique dont la résistance à l'usure ainsi que les caractéristiques de soudage (soudabilité et caractéristiques de joint de soudure) indispensables pour des rails lourds de chemin de fer ont été considérablement améliorées. Ce rail d'acier contient, en pourcentage pondéral, soit plus de 0,85 à 1,20 de carbone, de 0,10 à 1,0 de silicium, de 0,20 à 1,50 de magnésium et plus de 0,50 à 1,0 de chrome, soit plus de 0,85 à 1,20 de carbone, de 0,40 à 1,0 de silicium, de 0,20 à moins de 0,40 de magnésium et de 0,35 à 0,50 de chrome, la somme des pourcentages en Si/4, Mn/2 et Cr étant comprise entre 0,80 et 1,80. Ce rail contient, de surcroît, soit du molybdène, soit du vanadium, soit du niobium et du bore, le solde étant constitué de fer et des inévitables impuretés. Afin d'éviter que le sommet d'un joint soudé ne présente des entailles, du fait de l'usure localisée, et ce sans altérer les caractéristiques de soudage, ce rail a ceci de particulier que la coin de la tête de rail et la surface du joint soudé possèdent une structure perlitique d'une profondeur allant jusqu'à 20 mm, au moins, que la dureté de cette structure perlitique est, d'au moins, 320 en dureté Vickers et que la différence de dureté entre le métal de base du rail et le joint soudé a une valeur de 30, au plus, en dureté Vickers.
