Sets out performance requirements and tests for welding of steel rail. Gives detailed requirements for flash butt welding, aluminothermic welding and metal arc welding (for repairs). Qualification of the welding procedure is covered, including criteria for requalification when parameters are changed. Test methods are given in appendices.

This Standard specifies performance requirements for welds in steel rail in accordance with AS1085.1 or rails that are shown to be metallurgically equivalent, for use in railway track. The following processes are covered:(a) Joining of rails by flash butt welding.(b) Joining of rails by aluminothermic fusion welding.(c) Repair of the railhead by arc welding.This Standard covers the joining of rails and the repair of the railhead by welding using the processes described. Other welding is outside the scope of this Standard and should be covered by documentation other than this Standard.The Standard does not provide strength properties of welds for use in design nor cover the welding of austenitic manganese steels.NOTES:1 Commentary on the background to the Standard is given in AppendixA.2 Guidance on information to be supplied when ordering or supplying is given in AppendixB.3 Guidance on the means for demonstrating compliance with this Standard is given in AppendixC.4 Rail steel is considered to be very difficult to weld for structural purposes. It is not recommended that welded rail be used in applications other than railway track.5 Rail produced to specifications other than AS1085.1 may require a separate qualification process. Appropriate testing may need to be determined.
