Rail Shoulder manufacturing process

Cast rail shoulder is a railway component made of cast iron material, which is mainly used for the connection and fixation between railway tracks and concrete sleepers. It ensures the stability and safety of the tracks and is an integral part of the railway system.

Cast rail shoulder:
Cast rail shoulders are usually produced by a casting process. During the casting process, molten cast iron is injected into a mold and left to cool and solidify to form the desired shape and size.
The casting process makes the cast rail shoulder have higher dimensional accuracy and surface quality.
Rail shoulder (as part of the rail) :
The shoulder is the side part of the rail formed during the manufacturing process. The manufacturing process of the rail includes several steps such as hot rolling and heat treatment to ensure that it has the required strength and wear resistance.
The shape and size of the rail shoulder are usually determined according to the specific requirements of the railway system and national or regional standards.
