Description

Rail elastic clip is used to fasten the rails to the underlying base plate together with the concrete sleeper. Usually rail clips are made of forged spring steel which is produced by hot forging process. Because of the uniform microstructure of forged clips, it is considered to be better than other metal forming process.

Production Processes of Elastic Rail Clips:

1. Raw material purchasing
2. Shearing
3. Heating to forging temperature
4. Forming
5. Hardening
6. Tempering
7. Surface treatment
8. Inspection-Packing

Type I rail fastening systemis suitable for 50kg/m and 60kg/m rails that fixed on concrete shoulders, it’s unnecessary to be fixed with rail clamp, due to it has good elasticity, less force loss and better maintain the geometric shape of rail track, so I type rail fasteners have become the popular and main fasteners in Chinese railway with concrete sleepers.
