Abstract
A method for manufacturing a high strength rail with good toughness, comprises cooling a rail to Ar.sub.3 transformation point or less after hot rolling; heating said cooled rail at a temperature of an austenite temperature zone ranging from Ac.sub.3 transformation point to 950.degree. C.; and cooling the heated rail. The chemical composition of the rail consists of 0.50 to 0.85 wt. % C, 0.50 to 1.50 wt. % Mn, 0.035 wt. % S or less, 0.10 to 1.00 wt. % Si, 0.035 wt. % P or less, 0.050 wt. % Al or less and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities.
