Manual metal ARC (NMA) repair weldability of cast and wrought bainitic (BCS II) rail steel (TM-MF-136)

Over the past years the Research Division has developed bainitic steel as an alternative to austenitic manganese steel (AMS) for both cast and part-welded crossing applications. From the first experimental cast of bainitic steel (identified as BCS I) produced by British Steel Corporation (BSC), a part-welded crossing was fabricated...
