Difference between different materials of Rail shoulder
Nodular cast iron
Strength:
QT500-7, QT450-10 and QT400-15 represent ductile iron with tensile strength of 500MPa, 450MPa and 400MPa, respectively. These materials have higher strength and can withstand greater pressure and impact.
Wear resistance
ductile iron has good wear resistance, suitable for long-term friction and wear occasions.
Corrosion resistance
ductile iron has a certain resistance to general corrosive media, but additional protective measures may be required in harsh corrosive environments.
Overall performance
ductile iron has high strength and wear resistance, while the cost is relatively low, so it is widely used in rail shoulder manufacturing.
