What is a flat bar rail?

 What is a flat bar rail?



1. What’s a flat bar rail?

A flat bar rail is a steel bar, which has a rectangular cross-section profile. There are two types of flat bar rail, square bar rail, and flat steel rail. Their difference lies in their profile. One is square, while the other is a rectangle.

2. Application

Flat bar is widely used in curtain walls, engineering machinery, shipbuilding, elevator parts, overhead crane railsweight stack, and the automobile industry.

3. Size

The main sizes of flat bar rail include 40x30mm, 40X60mm, 80x60mm, 50x50mm, 100x60mm. The two numbers represent the height and length of the profile of the rails. And the unit of measurement is mm. And the total length of the whole rail is normally 5.8m.

4. Materials and standard

Flat bar rails materials have different standards, like A572, GR 50, ST52-3, S355JR, and Q345B. For example, ASTM A572 steel is a common high strength, low alloy (HSLA) structural steel used in the United States. And Q345B is a kind of GB standard low alloy steel. The main standards are GB, AISI, ASTM, SAE, EN, BS, DIN, and JIS. For instance, JIS represents Japanese standards.

5. How are flat bar rails processed?

Manufacturers can produce flat bar rail in both hot rolled and cold drawn conditions. Hot-rolled steel rails are rolled at high temperatures, while cold-rolled ones are in normal temperatures. Hot-rolled rails are easier to shape, while cold-rolled ones have a smoother surface.

6. How do identify the quality of flat bar rail?

The quality flat bar is straight and has a smooth and intact surface.

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...

Rail clip installation

Rail clip installation rail clip installation Prerequisites for the rail clip installation 1. The rail presser is installed after the steel beam on the crane rails surface is adjusted; 2. The steel beam of the crane must be 3. The rail pressure device should be installed; 4. Before the installation of the  rail clamp , the surface paint of the crane beam is finished and meets the requirements of the current regulations; 5. Before the installation of the rail presser, the track joints should be connected, and the track joints and side bending deviations should meet the requirements of “Steel Structure Engineering and Acceptance Specifications”-83). 6. The welding of the base plate control plate and the steel suspension beam should meet the design requirements. Installation sequence and essentials A. Welding the fixed base, the fixed base can be used, the three grooves on the surface and the position of the rail presser can be positioned, and the allowable deviation of the position ...
