I Thermite Welded for the CNR back in 1981-82 (then Joint Welding and Magnesium Frogs). It was very similar to this video except for the crucible. Ours were much more antiquated ! But the Molds, Shields, Slag Pots and Packing Paste appear "almost" identical. We used Hot Cut and Sledge for knocking the over-welds off but eventually were rewarded and equipped with (what appear to be the very same) hand-powered Sheers and ultimately Powered Sheers.

Fantastic, I studied this process 50 years ago as a welding apprentice but never saw it before, this joining of railway lines was the only application it was used for then. For those that do not understand welding, it is still done today as before because while the set up is slower the overall process is faster than a manual process, the rail contour would be a pain to manually weld and dam. Thermite welding deposits a very high quality weld and not to forget this is a "Hatfield Steel" an 11 - 14% Manganese steel, not so easy, except of course to you experts out there.

Howard Glen Flashbutt welding is used in the manufacture of long lengths of welded rail, but when it comes to joining those lengths up in situ it's usually thermite welded

When I was a little kid, I actually wondered... "How do they transport and install such massively long metal rails? It never occurred to my kid brain they were welded from smaller pieces. I thought rails must be installed from small pieces. But I never saw any seams so I ruled that out. So I thought to myself, "How the F do they do it?" HAHA! In my defense, not many 10-year-old kids have a concept for welding. C'mon.

(The skill and risk are the factors the labor doesn't command a high wage) I'd wager the Obama care scam fucked these guys out of about 15-20k per year in medical depending on how many children they have. I'd also be very surprised if these particular folks didn't get in big trouble for not wearing their safety glasses properly. I'm not judging them mind you, but if their supervisor sees this he will be. That's why you never post videos like this of people you like. A family posted a few pics of my co- workers doing a great job for them on social media(Facebook) and the business manager saw it and they got 3 weeks no pay.

sik59rt The track gauge is mostly 1435 millimeters here in sweden, but we have a couple of active tracks (Roslagsbanan, for instance) with the older gauge of 891 millimeters. On Inlandsbanan shown here (which is not part of the regular railroad network) they mostly have tourists and residents travelling. I'm not sure what the max speed is because it differs due to location, but the trains can make it up to 130 km/h.

Isn't this before the ballast ? You have to surround ties whether concrete or wooden to prevent shifting I would think. Unless the concrete ties are so heavy they require no ballast, but I doubt that is the case. Interesting video.

David V Yea im sure a random guy that knows nothing of welding know a better way
Honestly, probably the fastest way to weld it in the field with a certain tolerance of quality. It takes 2 guys. It only take what looks like $25,000 of equipment, probably less than 2 hours of work from start to finish. There are many many many ways to do this with higher quality, but those ways would be slower, require more expertise, would be very hard to do in the field... Or if you managed to fix all those problems it would be fabulously expensive. But then again, there is ALWAYS a better way... ALWAYS... Its a question of cost of resources, time to complete, cost and time of the workers, ability of the workers, requirements of the job, what vehicles you already own... ect ect ect. TL:DR There is always a better way. For some reason, cost/time/ability, thermite welding is often chosen for railroad construction.

Very nice. I just came to know about thermit welding today.
@takeadayofff7 жыл бұрын
Welding rails together creates a rigid and smooth joint that is safer for bullet trains. (Unless they forget to grind off the slag - happens on a union job between shifts sometimes ;-) Ties are buried after welding because the rails can warp from heat cycling and require additional straightening.

Those tracks are looking real sturdy and high quality 😆😄

That track was glowing like the steel beams they recovered from WTC 1 & WTC 2. Could thermite have been involved then too?

Why didnt you show the track after the finish?? what was being done? No one said a word?
@HauntingBull10 жыл бұрын
I will explain. 1) There is a clamp in place to hold the ends together as he heat treats them. This clamp also acts as a guide/holder for the thermite. 2) They use the thermite to bond the two ends together using the heat and pressure generated. 3) They remove the apparatus and clamps then proceed to knock off the slag (waste material) on the outside while it is still hot and brittle. 4) All that's left is for it to cool (which takes a while) then polish out any rough spots and check the quality of the weld. You can see a finished weld behind them if you look closely enough. Hope that clarifies things for you. :-)

The extremely specialized equipment (this ain't your body and fender spot welder) and the procedures that have become second nature to these rail workers is what is impressive to me. Curious what the dollar per hour wage would be for this type of work. Thanks Mr Lendner for the clip.

Welding also needs expansion joints over a certain distance.
