What are elastic rail clips made of

Oct 09, 2025 Leave a message

Elastic rail clips are usually made up of spring steel by forging process. Forged items are manufactured by hot forging process either by open die or closed die. The product takes shape upon hammering the metal after heating it to forging temperature. The properties of forged items are considered to be better than other metal forming process due to most uniform microstructure.
