What’s the function of rail clip?

Key functions of rail clips:

Rail clips production process

Raw material gathering—Shearing—heating to forging temperature—Forming—Hardening—Tempering—Surface Treatment—Inspection—Packing

The Spring steel bars should first be cut as required. By convention, the sheared bar is heated to 950 ° C to 1000 ° C, and then the heated rod is transferred to a power press for forging. Before hammering, keep three sets of molds and fixtures according to the drawings. The forged rail clips are conveyed to the quench tank. After checking the dimensional accuracy and the quenching hardness, the rail clips are sent to the next tempering procedure to achieve proper toughness in the spring. The final product will be packaged after rigorous inspection.
