How Much Do You Know About Railway Rails
Mar 12, 2022| Railway rail knowledge:
(1) Knowledge of heavy rail: rail with nominal weight greater than 30kg per meter. Both train rail and crane rail belong to heavy rail. Train rail: it is used for laying railway. It should bear the pressure, impact load and friction during train operation. It is required to have sufficient strength and certain toughness. The quality requirements are strict. In addition to ensuring its chemical composition, it is also required to inspect mechanical properties, drop weight test and acid leaching macrostructure. The production plants include WISCO, Angang, Baotou Steel and Panzhihua steel. Crane rail: i.e. crane rail, which is low in height and large in head width and waist thickness. Only chemical composition and tensile strength are required to be tested. Used for laying crane and trolley rails. Production plants include Angang and Pangang.
(2) Light rail knowledge: it refers to the rail with nominal weight less than or equal to 30kg per meter. The quality requirement of light rail is lower than that of rail, and only its chemical composition, tensile strength, hardness and drop weight test are required to be tested. Main uses: light rail is mainly used for laying temporary transportation lines and light locomotive lines in forest areas, mining areas, factories and construction sites.
