Production Processes of Elastic Rail Clips:
Rail clip processing procedures includes:
- Raw material purchasing
- Shearing
- Heating to forging temperature
- Forming
- Hardening
- Tempering
- Surface treatment
- Inspection-Packing
To produce rail clips usually use spring steel bar as the raw materials, before heating, raw materials must be sheared according to the length required. Then they are heated to 950℃ to 1000℃, next works transfer the heated bar to power press for forging, in accordance with drawing three sets of dies and fixtures are kept before hammering. The following procedure is to convey the forged rail clips to quenching tank. Then check the dimensional accuracy and quench hardness of the rail clips. The next procedure is tempering to achieve appropriate toughness in the spring. And the final step is to pack the rail clips after serious inspection.
