What are the types of rail joints?

Rail Joints also called railway fish plates or joint bars, or splice bars is a metal joint bars connected to the ends of two rails to bond them together. A quality rail joint bar can largely reduce the impact of wheels on the jointing sections of the rail tracks. And increase the continuity and steadiness of the train when passing through the jointing sections. These rail components are guaranteed railroad transportation safety no matter whether it’s light or heavy.

Types of rail joints

We supply more than 30 types of rail joints, according to different standards:

Rail joints for light rail: 8kg, 9kg, 12kg, 15kg, 18kg, 22kg, 24kg and 30kg

Rail joints for heavy rail: 38kg, 43kg, 50kg, and 60kg

Crane rail joints: QU70, QU80, QU100, and QU120

To ensure the fine use of railroad equipment, we need to maintain the rail joints from time to time in order to improve quality and avoid any accidents.

Assembling and maintenance standards for rail joints:

STEP1: Check if the bolts are well fastened and make sure no wounds or cracks on the surface

STEP 2: Keep each connecting rod and locking device clear from cracks. No grinding or corrosion on the rod body or abrasion pinhole less than 1mm. Good insulation shall be maintained.

STEP 3: All iron rod connections with good insulation. The insulation link between the locked iron and gauge rod are both fine. In uninsulated conditions, a 3mm gap should be kept and not into other parts. And bolts are fastened well.

STEP 4: Ensure no cracks on the shell of the switch machine to assemble rail joints, and the installation is firm under good lock condition.

STEP 5: Ensure the oil tank circuit is in good protection without damage or being buried by ballasts or other debris.

Study on Cooling Method of SUP9 Spring Flat Steel

Study on Cooling Method of SUP9 Spring Flat Steel Hot rolled spring flat steel bar is mainly used for the automotive industry, and it’s the raw material for automobile leaf spring manufacturing. The main varieties of spring steel include 60Si2Mn spring steel, SUP9 spring steel flat bar , 55SiMnVB spring steel. SUP9 spring steel flat bar is produced in accordance with the Japanese standard. At present, many leaf spring manufacturers mostly use SUP9 spring steel as the raw material for manufacturing automotive leaf springs. Compared with 60Si2Mn, SUP9 spring steel has good hardenability and low decarburization tendency, so the mechanical properties and fatigue properties of the leaf springs produced with SUP9 spring steel are better than that of 60Si2Mn steel. However, due to the good hardenability of SUP9 steel , the hardness is often too high during actual rolling production and cooling. The reheating, quenching and tempering treatment are carried out in...
