Abstract
Process and device for hardening a rail. The process for hardening a rail or part thereof by transforming it from an austenitic structure into a different microstructure that is stable at room temperature comprises aligning, horizontally positioning, and fixing in axial alignment to secure against bending, the rail in its austenitic state; and while keeping the rail fixed in axial alignment and secured against bending, force-cooling the rail or part thereof to allow the austenitic structure to be transformed into said different microstructure. The device for hardening a rail or part thereof by force-cooling comprises a support for supporting the rail; a cooling device for force-cooling the rail or part thereof; and at least two fixing devices for axially aligning and securing the rail against bending during the force-cooling.
