the present invention will be apparent from a reading of the following description in connection with the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings . fig1 ( a ) and ( b ) are plan views illustrating the whole welded nose rail for crossing of example 1 produced according to the method of the present invention and a longitudinal central section view of said nose rail , respectively . in this example , a pair of rail members 1 having the same cross section as an ordinary rail are used and joined with each other to be symmetric with respect to the longitudinal dinal center line . the material is a high carbon steel rail material containing 0 . 70 to 0 . 82 % by weight of carbon . electron beam welding is used to join said rails and the backing material 2 extending in the longitudinal direction is interposed at the stem point of said pair of rail members 1 , 1 . said backing material 2 , as shown in fig1 b , has a narrow width from the front point a to the bending point d -- d and a larger width as from the bending point to the back . the top and bottom and parts of the backing material 2 extend from the hollow stem part 1c of the rail members 1 , 1 to the joint of the head part 1a and the joint of the base part 1b , and is contacted to or held between them . at the point g -- g where the rail members 1 , 1 branch into two , the backing material 3 is contacted to the only joint of the base part 1b of the rail member 1 and extends in the longitudinal direction . on the other hand , the i - shaped bevel is formed at the joint of the head part 1a and base part 1b of said rail member 1 and the electron beam welding is conducted along the bevel extending on the longitudinal center line . said electron beam welding is usually conducted according to the following work flow . the whole face of the bevel of the rail and the part around it are degreased and cleaned , and then , a pair of rails and a backing material are constructed and fixed with a jig , the whole being preheated to 400 ° c . in the preheating furnace . immediately after preheating , the resulting rail is carried into the welding chamber of the electron beam welding device with the joint of the base up and electron beam welding is conducted under the conditions that the degree of vacuum within said welding chamber is over 5 * 10 - 4 torr , the temperature of the rail is within the range of 300 ° to 350 ° c ., and the welding heat input per unit of the plate thickness is 7 - 10 kj / cm2 . air is taken into the welding chamber 10 minutes after the completion of welding , and then the whole is preheated to 400 ° c . to weld the joint of the head part of the rail , welding being conducted under the same conditions as those in the case of the base joint . immediately after that , the whole is heated to 450 ° c .- 550 ° c . in the electric furnace as post heating . then the welding finishes . moreover , the head part 1a of the joined nose rail is heat processed by slack quenching . in the slack quenching type heat processing , the welded nose rail is put in the preheating furnace and heated to about 500 ° c . and then , the head part of the v - shaped nose rail is heated to about 1000 ° c . and cooled slowly by injecting compressed air . the tread of the nose rail which is heat processed has a homogeneous fine pearlite structure . the slack quenching type heat processing is conducted in the above - mentioned example , however , a high carbon steel material before welding at the head part 1a may be one which is preliminary heat processed by slack quenching and have a homogeneous fine pearlite structure . in such a case , even if the nose rail 1 welded by electron beam has a small area which is thermally transformed into a pearlite structure around the welded part , the area is very narrow and almost the whole head part has a fine pearlite structure and forms a tread of the nose rail , with the result that the rail can be used without further processing . fig2 to fig5 are transverse cross sectional views of the nose rail produced in this way taken on each point shown in fig1 . fig2 is a cross - sectional view taken on line d -- d at the bending point of the nose rail shown in fig1 and each shape of the cross section taken on a -- a , b -- b or c -- c , respectively shown in fig1 is illustrated with two - dot chain line . fig3 is a cross - sectional view taken on line e -- e of fig1 and fig4 is a cross - sectional view taken on line f -- f of fig1 . a pair of rails 1 , 1 which are symmetric have the front parts where the head parts 1a as well as the base parts 1b are directly joined each other by electron beam welding . the backing material 2 is interposed between the stem parts 1c . the backing material 2 has the advantage of absorbing spike and cold shut peculiar to electron beam welding . at the back part past the bending point , as shown in fig3 and fig4 the hollow part appears between the stem parts 1c . the width of the hollow part increases as it goes backward . at the point on line g -- g of fig1 as shown in fig5 only the base parts 1b are directly joined using the backing material by electron beam welding . is described above , said backing material 3 can not only absorb spike and cold shut peculiar to electron beam welding but also minimize the necessary thickness of the bevel of the head part or the base part , and therefore , the thickness of the stem part of the front part of the nose rail can be increased , the welding heat input can be decreased , and the temperature of the base material rail can be prevented from increasing excessively . as a result , the cooling rate of the welded part by heat conduction to the parts around it immediately after welding can be controlled and a nose rail having a high strength can be obtained . the welded nose rail 1 is welded with only the wing rail and base part 1b which are arranged on the both sides thereof , and the nose rail and the wing rail are combined through the filler with bolts and nuts , with the result that the integrated and fixed crossing is formed . in this case , the nose rail and the wing rail may be combined only with the filler and bolts . the welded crossing like this is welded to have no joint missing line with the ordinary rail at the front and back ends thereof and forms a turnout . example 2 and 3 described below are nose rails which use a long nose rail and a short nose rail . in view of the relation between the area where the wheel transfers between the wing rail and the nose rail on the basis of the structure of crossing , the welded part of the head part of the nose rail of this type is apart from the point where the impact load acts during the transfer . the part around said welded part is thermally converted into a pearlite structure , but the area is very narrow . therefore , the rail which comprises the high carbon rail material containing 0 . 70 to 0 . 82 % by weight of carbon as a rail material and is heat processed by slack quenching into having the head part with a homogeneous fine pearlite structure can be used well . further , just like example 1 , the head part may be heat processed by slack quenching into having a homogeneous fine pearlite structure after the electron beam welding is completed . fig6 is a plan view illustrating the whole nose rail for welded crossing of example 2 produced according to the method of the present invention . in this example , too , a pair of rails which have the same cross sectional shape as the ordinary rail are used , each of them comprising a long nose rail 10 and a short nose rail 11 . the front end of said short nose rail is arranged at the bending point of the head part having a overall width of the long nose rail and they are symmetric with respect to the center line , with the result that they can be used as a nose rail for crossing of the compatible type . the rail material is a high carbon steel rail material containing 0 . 70 to 0 . 82 % by weight of carbon . the long nose rail end the short nose rail 11 are directly joined by welding the head parts and the base parts continuously by curve and linear electron beam welding and the welded end part is treated with a tab plate . fig7 is a cross - sectional view taken on line a -- a of the nose rail 1 shown in fig6 fig8 is a cross - sectional view taken on line b -- b , fig9 is a cross - sectional view taken on line c -- c , and fig1 is a cross - sectional view taken on line d -- d . at the point of the front end part r of the short nose rail , as shown in fig6 and fig7 the backing material 4 extends from the center of the pair of rails , along the r part , to the bottom face of the head chin part and the top face of the base part . then the tab plate 5 is used and the head parts 1a as well as the base parts 1b are directly joined to each other by curve and linear continuous electron beam welding . on the line b -- b , as shown in fig8 the backing material 4 is interposed between both stem parts 1c . rearward from that point , as shown in fig9 and fig1 , the hollow part appears between both stem parts 1c and the width of the hollow part increases as it goes backward . at the point on line d -- d shown in fig6 only base parts 1b , as shown in fig1 , are directly joined by electron beam welding using the backing material 4 . like example 1 , the nose rail 1 of example 2 , fig1 , is welded with only the wing rail and base part 1b , which are arranged on the both sides thereof ; the nose rail 1 and the wing rail 8 being combined through the filler 9a with the bolt 9b and the nut 9c , with the result that the integrated and fixed crossing is formed . the nose rail 1 and the wing rail 8 may be combined only with the filler 9a , bolt 9b and 9c . the welded crossing like this is welded not to have a joint missing line with the ordinary rail at the front and back ends thereof and forms a turnout . fig1 is a plan view illustrating the whole nose rail 1 for welded crossing of example 3 produced according to the method of the present invention . in this example like example 2 , a pair of rails which have the same cross sectional shape as the ordinary rail are used , each of them comprising a long nose rail 12 and a short nose rail 13 . the long nose rail 12 and the short nose rail 13 have the head parts joined directly by linear electron beam welding and the base parts by linear and curve electron beam welding . in the position where the front end of said short nose rail is arranged with respect to the long nose rail , the head part of the short nose rail is beveled from the point a -- a ahead of the bending point c -- c of the head part having a overall width of head part of the nose rail . the welded end can be eliminated at the point of the cross section a -- a to b -- b by finishing the head part of the nose rail after welding . while in the case of the base part , the welded end can be eliminated by finishing the base part of the nose rail after processing within the base of the short nose rail . fig1 is a cross - sectional view taken on line a -- a of the nose rail 1 shown in fig1 , fig1 is a cross - sectional view taken on line b -- b and fig1 is a cross - sectional view taken on line c -- c . is shown in fig1 , 13 and 14 , the stem part and the base part from the front end on line a -- a to the point on line b -- b of the short nose rail 13 is cut and removed with only the head parts 1a left . the base part 1b from the point on line b -- b to the point on line c -- c is cut and removed to be r - shaped with the head part 1a and the base part 1b left . at the point on line a -- a and line b -- b , only head parts 1a are directly joined using the backing material 6 by linear electron beam welding . the depth of the welding decreases gradually between the point on line b -- b and the point on line a -- a and the welding is completed . as shown in fig1 , the backing material 6 is interposed between the stem parts 1c in the back part from the bending point of the long rail on line c -- c , and the head parts 1a as well as the base parts 1b are directly joined by electron beam welding . there is a hollow between the stem parts 1c . at the point on line d -- d of fig1 in the back part , as shown in fig1 , the long nose rail 12 and the short nose rail 13 have the symmetric cross section and the head parts 1a as well as the base parts 1b are directly joined using the backing material 6 by electron beam welding . like example 1 , the nose rail 1 of example 3 is welded with only the wing rail and base part 1b , which are arranged on the both sides thereof ; the nose rail and the wing rail being combined through the filler with the bolt and the nut , with the result that the integrated and fixed crossing is formed . the nose rail and the wing rail may be combined only with the filler , bolt and nut . the welded crossing like this is welded to have no joint missing line with the ordinary rail at the front and back ends thereof and forms a turnout . the heat processing will be more clearly understood with reference to the following description taken in connection with the flow diagram illustrating the continuous s . q heat processing of the head part of the nose rail for crossing according to an example of the present invention shown in fig1 . fig1 a and 17b ( section ( a ) illustrates s . q heat processing of the integrated head part 1a of the nose rail 101 . fig1 a and 17b ( section ( b ) illustrates s . q heat processing of the head part 1b branching into two of the nose rail 101 . in the case of the s . q heat processing according to this example , the s . q heat processing is conducted continuously from the integrated head 101a of the front part of the rail 101 to the head 101b branching into two of the back part . when the integrated head part 101a is s . q heat processed , both of the heating burner 102 and the cooler 103 are controlled to be closed . when the head part 101b branching into two is s . q heat processed , both of the heating burner 102 and the cooler 103 are moved and rotated following the opening width and angle of the head part 101a of the rail . the s . q heat processing is conducted from the front and of the rail 101 to the back end and the opening between the two the rails increases as it goes backward from the branch part 101c , therefore , the flame of the heating burner 102 streams backward , with the result that the stream of the flame to the cooler 103 in the front part can be reduced . the shield cloth ( heat insulating material ribbon ) is provided between the heating burner 102 and the cooler 103 to shut out the flame of the burner . the whole area from the front end of the rail 101 to around the branch part 101c may be preheated to 300 ° c . to 500 ° c . with an electric furnace and the like , then the head part 1a of the rail may be heated and hardened with the heating burner 102 , and the stem part 101b as well as the head part 101a of the rail may be cooled at the same time by an air shower , in order to obtain the deeper hardened layer . the whole welded part my be preheated , then the head part 101a of the rail may be heated and hardened with the heating burner 102 , and not only the head part 101a but also the stem part 101b and the base part 101c of the rail may be cooled at the same time only with an air shower , in order to reduce the stress in the welded joint part during heating and cooling . the distortion occurring after the s . q heat processing also can be reduced . in the case that two rails 101 in the rear of the branch 101c of the nose rail are heated and cooled continuously at the same time , in order to prevent each whole rail and two rails from bending due to the break in the balance of heating and cooling , both sides of each rail 101 from the lower surface of the chin 101d to the upper surface of the base part 101c are covered with a protecting plate and only the head part 101a of the rail is heated and cooled . therefore the balance of heating and cooling of each whole rail and two rails can easily be maintained , with the result that each rail can be prevented from bending in right and left directions and each of two rails on both sides can bend almost evenly in up - and - down directions . fig1 illustrates the shape 101a of the front head part of the nose rail 101 . after the front part 101a of the nose rail is welded , the head is half - processed into having the maximum width and shape to satisfy surface hardness , cross section hardness , and effective hardened layer at the finish of the product , and therefore , s . q heat processing conditions can be almost even over the whole length of the nose rail . the processing rate can thus be kept constant . when heated , the integrated part 101a of the head can be prevented from being overheated by changing the width of the flame in response to the width of the head part . and when cooled , the head part of the rail can be cooled over the length thereof slowly at the required cooling rate by air shower , which can cool evenly , from the upper surface and the side surface . fig1 - 21 are flow diagrams of s . q heat processing of the integrated part 101a of the head of the nose rail . fig1 is a cross - sectional view taken on line a -- a of fig1 and illustrates the cooling process at the point where the width of the head part of the nose rail 101 is 0 mm at the finish . the head part 101a of the rail is half - processed and the whole nose rail 101 is cooled by injecting the air shower from the cooler 103 to the upper surface and the side surfaces of the head part of the nose rail 101 . fig2 is a cross - sectional view taken on line c -- c of fig1 and illustrates the heating process at the point where the welded nose rail 101 is not half - processed . the width of the flame band of the heating burner 102 is adjusted in response to the width of the head part 101a of the rail ( see the hatching part 102a of the figure ) to prevent overheating . fig2 - 25 illustrate the s . q heat processing of the branch part 101b of the head part of the nose rail 101 . fig2 is a cross - sectional view taken on line d -- d of fig1 and illustrates the cooling process at the point in the rear of the branch 101c of the nose rail 101 . the filling material 105 is provided between the head parts 101a of the rail at the branch point 101b . the rail from the chin part 101a of the head part on the outside of the rail to the upper face of the base part 101c is covered with the protective plate 106 , and the air shower from the cooler is injected to the upper and side surfaces of the rail head part , with the result that the only rail head part 101a can be cooled . fig2 is a cross - sectional view taken on line e -- e of fig1 and illustrates the cooling process at the point where the nose rail 101 branches into two . the cooler 103 separates at the center and moves to above the head part 101a of the rails 101 on the both sides and rotates in response to the opening angle of the rail 101b . the air shower of the cooler 103 is injected from the upper surface of the head part 101a and the outside surface of the nose rail 101b , respectively , with the result that the only rail head 101a can be cooled . fig2 is a cross - sectional view taken on line f -- f of fig1 and illustrates the heating process at the point where the nose rail 101 branches into two . the heating burner 102 separates at the center and moves to above the head part 101a of the rails 101 on both sides and rotates in response to the opening angle of the rail 10lb . the rail head part 101a is then heated from each upper surface . the rail from the chin part 101d of the head part on the outside of the rail to the upper face of the base part 101c is covered with the protective plate 106 , with the result that the only rail head 101a can be heated . fig2 a , b and c are a side elevation view , an elevation view and a bottom view of the heating burner , respectively . the heating burner 102 is a water cooled one . a lateral pair of heating burners 102 are constructed to be able to move horizontally in the direction of the width of the head part 101a of the nose rail , and rotate in the direction of the opening angle of the head parts and moved and rotated in response to the shape of the rail head part 101a by the drive . the heating burner 102 has a pair of device heads 120 which are laterally symmetric . there are provided plural crater banks 121 in the device head 120 in the direction of the width of the rail head part and the flame band can be controlled by igniting and extinguishing remotely the crater bank . the flame strength of each device head 120 can be controlled by adjusting the gas flow of each device head 120 . there is provided a heating band burner 102 in the first half part in the proceeding direction of the rail and a soaking band burner 102 in the latter half part , resulting in the structure having two blocks . the heating band burner 102 , at the beginning of the heating by the burner , raises the temperature around the surface of the rail head part 101a and heats rapidly to about 800 °- 900 ° c . with the neutral flame to increase the hardening - and - heating depth , while the soaking burner 102 provides uniform temperature dispersion by thermal diffusion after rapid heating , increases the hardening - and - heating depth by heat conduction , and heats to the required hardening temperature with reducing flame to prevent over - heating and decarburization around the surface , with the result that the deeper hardened layer can be obtained efficiently . fig2 a , b and c are a side elevation view , an elevation view and a bottom view of the cooler 103 . the cooler 103 injects condensed air from an air compressor or a blower as an air shower to the rail head part 101a and is , like the heating burner , moved and rotated in response to the shape the rail head part 101a by the driver . the cooler 103 has a pair of air boxes which are laterally symmetric and each air box 130 has a structure comprising an air box which injects an air shower from the upper surface and the outside surface of the rail head part 101a , the cooling ability of the air shower by the condensed air of each air box 130 being able to be controlled by adjusting the air flow of each air box 130 . there is provided a partition plate 131 at the entrance of the cooler 103 to prevent the air shower injected from the air box 130 from flowing along the surface of the rail head part 101a to the heating burner 102 , to prevent the part around the surface of the rail head part 101a heated and hardened from being cooled below the required cooling rate and to prevent the surface hardness and the cross section hardness around the surface from declining after the s . q heat processing . the cooler 103 in the first half cooling part in the proceeding direction of the rail cools the area having a temperature within the range of 800 ° to 500 ° c . slowly at the required cooling rate , in order that the rail head part 101a may have a fine pearlite structure . the temperature around the surface of the rail head part 101a becomes 300 ° c . by passing through said first half slow cooling zone . the interior of the rail head part 101a within the range of the tip to the branch 101b close to the rail head part 101a and the upper part of the stem 101b following it have a temperature over 300 ° c ., therefore , further cooling is necessary to prevent softening of the hardened layer , that is , the part having a fine pearlite structure , by the interior heat . in the case that the part of the nose rail 101 having a welded construction is cooled rapidly by water , large temperature stress occurs at the welded part , therefore , the latter half part of the cooling process is a rapid zone cooling by an air shower having a better cooling ability than the first half part , not only to suppress the temperature stress , but also to cool the whole nose rail below 300 ° c . efficiently . after that , the nose rail is air - cooled to the room temperature . as set forth hereinabove , according to the present invention , the base material of the nose rail is directly joined by electron beam welding without any added hot charge so that the chemical composition of the weld metal is almost the same as that of the base material . therefore , the welded part has the same pearlite structure as the base material rail or a fine pearlite structure by welding under the conditions of the suitable preheating temperature and welding . moreover , in the case of electron beam welding , the total heat input is small and the width of the part influenced by heat is very narrow , resulting in little residual stress and distortion after the welding . according to the present invention , the whole part from the tip of the nose rail for a crossing having an integrated construction to the branch part , can be s . q heat processed by heating and cooling in response to the size and shape of the head part . therefore , there can be formed a hardened layer having a depth of 20 to 25 mm and a homogeneous pearlite structure , which has a good abrasion and fatigue resistance , over the whole surface of the nose rail for the crossing .
