Abstract
Rail manufacturing method performs, on at least a head of the rail that is hot after hot-rolled at an austenite region temperature or higher or after heated to the austenite region temperature or higher, forced cooling: for 10 seconds from start of the forced cooling so that a cooling rate at a surface of the head becomes 1° C./s to 20° C./s; during a period after a lapse of 10 seconds from the start until heat generation during transformation begins at the surface so that the cooling rate becomes 1° C./s to 5° C./s; during transformation from beginning to end of the heat generation during transformation so that the cooling rate becomes lower than 1° C./s or a temperature-rising rate becomes 5° C./s or lower; and during a period after the end of the heat generation during transformation until temperature at the surface becomes 450° C. or lower so that the cooling rate becomes 1° C./s to 20° C./s.
