ABSTRACT An improved method for the manufacture of hardened railroad rails comprises the steps of forming a railroad rail from an alloy steel of a preselected chemical composition, force cooling the rail from a preselected cooling start temperature above about the austenite-to- ferrite transformation temperature, terminating the force cooling when the temperature of rail reaches a preselected cooling stop temperature, and before a substantial volume fraction of the austenite in the rail head has transformed to pearlite, and holding the rail under substantially isothermal conditions until the austenite-to-pearlite transformation is complete. The chemical composition of the alloy steel is selected such that the austenite-to-pearlite reaction occurs earlier in time than the austenite-to- bainite reaction under the substantially isothermal conditions. The use of this method makes avoidance of bainite easier to achieve, so relatively simple and inexpensive process control equipment can be utilized.
