Abstract
A method of field welding head-hardened rails which includes the steps of gas pressure welding the rails, shearing off excess metal therefrom at the welded portion with a portable welder device, subjecting the railhead of the pressure welded portion of the rails to a subsequent heat treatment with a gas heater device, setting a width of the pressure welded portion to be heated at the time of the subsequent heat treatment with a pair of jigs, and cooling the portion which has undergone the subsequent heat treatment with an air blowing type cooler.
