Main characteristics and composition of rail bottom plate

Rail sole plates are typically made of high-quality steel, which provides strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear.

Rail sole plates are designed to match the specific type and size of the rail being used. The design includes holes or slots for fastening the rail to the plate using bolts or other fasteners.

The dimensions and shape of the sole plate vary depending on the rail profile, weight, and gauge. Different regions may have specific standards and requirements for sole plate dimensions.

Sole plates have pre-drilled holes or slots that align with the holes in the rail for secure fastening. These holes accommodate rail bolts or other fasteners to hold the rail and sole plate together.

To prevent corrosion and extend the service life of the sole plate, it is often coated with protective materials such as galvanization or paint.
