Elastic rail clip manufacturing process

Brief introduction

The elastic rail clip is one of the common fastening components to fix the track to rail sleepers (wooden and concrete sleepers). The rail clips are produced by hot forging process with the material of forged spring steel. The raw materials mainly include 60 Si2MnA, 60Si2CrA , 38 Si7 and other types of spring steel. The spring steel has excellent mechanical performance, physical and chemical performance, etc. AGICO is the approved elastic rail clip manufacturer by China's Railway Ministry and has been ISO9001-2008 certified. AGICO supplies the elastic rail clips with high precision, high tensile strength and corrosion resistance, which are used widely in railway projects worldwide. These facts make our rail clip products ideal for track assembly use.
