The casting process of Rail Maintenance Clamp
Track maintenance clamps are usually made of high carbon steel, alloy steel, or other durable metals to ensure that they have sufficient hardness and durability.
The raw material is cut according to the size and specification of the track maintenance clip. This can be done by sawing, shearing, or other cutting methods.
Forging is the process by which metal is heated and shaped with a hammer or other tool. When making a track maintenance clip, the raw material needs to be heated to the proper temperature and then hammered into the desired shape with a hammer. Forging can increase the hardness and strength of track maintenance clips, making them more durable.
After forging is complete, the surface of the track maintenance clamp may be rough and require further machining. This includes grinding, sanding and shaping to give track maintenance clips a flat surface and precise dimensions.
Heat treatment is the operation of heating and cooling a metal to change its microstructure and enhance its properties. Track maintenance clips need to be properly heat treated to improve their hardness, toughness and resistance to wear.
In order to prevent rust and corrosion of the track maintenance clamp, its surface usually needs to be painted or treated with rust. This can be done by applying paint, rust inhibitor, or other protective layers.
If the track maintenance clip consists of multiple parts, these parts need to be assembled together by an appropriate connection, such as bearings or rivets.
