Abstract (en)

An internal high hardness type pearlitic rail with excellent wear resistance, rolling contact fatigue resistance, and delayed fracture properties and a preferred method for producing the same are provided. Specifically, the internal high hardness type pearlitic rail has a composition containing 0.73% to 0.85% by mass C, 0.5% to 0.75% by mass Si, 0.3% to 1.0% by mass Mn, 0.035% by mass or less P, 0.0005% to 0.012% by mass S, 0.2% to 1.3% by mass Cr, 0.005% to 0.12% by mass V, 0.0015% to 0.0060% by mass N, and the balance being Fe and incidental impurities, wherein the value of [%Mn]/[%Cr] is greater than or equal to 0.3 and less than 1.0, where [%Mn] represents the Mn content, and [%Cr] represents the Cr content, and the value of [%V]/[%N] is in the range of 8.0 to 30.0, where [%V] represents the V content, and [%N] represents the N content, and wherein the internal hardness of a rail head is defined by the Vickers hardness of a portion located from a surface layer of the rail head to a depth of at least 25 mm and is greater than or equal to 380Hv and less than 480Hv.
