The train does not run on a bare track. In order to assist the train, there are many auxiliary accessories installed on the track, such as turnout, track pressure plate and other accessories. Track plate and other accessories are generally made of steel casting, in use is generally placed in the field, if the maintenance of the track plate is not done, it will cause damage to the track plate, let's see what material the track plate is made of. Track press plate manufacturers
Cast carbon steel: Cast steel with carbon as the main alloying element and small amounts of other elements. Carbon containing less than 0.2% is cast low carbon steel, carbon containing 0.2% ~ 0.5% is cast medium carbon steel, carbon containing more than 0.5% is cast high carbon steel. With the increase of carbon content, the strength and hardness of cast carbon steel increase.
Cast low alloy steel: Cast steel containing alloying elements such as manganese, chromium and copper. The total amount of alloying elements is generally less than 5%, which has great impact toughness and can obtain better mechanical properties through heat treatment. Cast low alloy steel has better service performance than carbon steel, which can reduce the quality of parts and improve the service life.
Cast SPECIAL STEEL: Alloy cast steel refined to meet special needs, of various varieties, usually containing one or more high alloying elements to achieve a particular performance.
In fact, the casting material of the track press plate is also relatively diverse. It should be selected according to its actual needs when used, so as to play a good application advantage. Rail platen is a common accessory in our life, but also can not be missing, if there is no rail platen, when the train runs on the track, it will produce a greater impact, causing the offset of the track, affecting the operation of the train.
