The article defines the parameters and working conditions for the final restoration of the integrity of the rail beams of a continuous gauge rail by electrocontact welding, as well as when welding rails with each other when they are elongated in the field by the method of preliminary bending. This involves the process of welding rails at temperatures above the temperature of their fixation. In this connection, an appropriate calculation scheme has been considered in relation to which the necessary parameters have been determined to ensure the conditions for straightening the residual curvature and, as a consequence, the formations of the corresponding stress state. To ensure the self-straightening conditions, the resulting formula for determining the residual bending arrow, the elimination of which under the influence of its own weight leads to the appearance of compressive stresses in the weld zone. In addition, a formula has been derived for determining the compressive stresses in the weld zone arising in the rail after the elimination of residual curvature. This means that when performing welding operations without forced straightening of the rails, you can restore not only their integrity, or weld them together. Thereby form a corresponding temperature-stress state.
