The rail elastic clips (also called rail clip, elastic rail clip )are used with railway sleeper to fasten rails on both sides. The rail clips are usually made of forged spring steel, which are manufactured by hot forging process. The forged rail clips are considered to be better than other metal forming process due to most uniform microstructure.
According to different standards and applications, Rail clips can be divided into various types. The common elastic railway clip types include SKL clip, E-type rail clip, Deenik clip, Nabla clip and etc.
Elastic rail clips manufacturing process
Based on the process production, elastic rail clip manufacture process can be summarized as eight links: raw material- shearing- heating- forming- hardening- tempering- inspection- packing.
