The Flash Butt Welding Application and Inspection in Railway in Karabuk Train Station
AbstractWelding is made up of many scientific and technical works. In industrial applications, it is applied to increase work efficiency and safety, reduce size and weight, and reduce production cost. Welding in the railway is usually done at the joints of the rails. Rail junctions have caused serious problems since the early days of railroads. As a solution, durable algebras have been developed but not sufficient in this application. As a result, the request for removal of the rail joints has emerged. Accordingly, different welding techniques have been developed. Among these techniques, aluminothermite and combustion head are widely used today. In this study, ultrasonic inspection results of the incinerator application applied to the rails in Karabük train station are examined.
