Railroad spike is the main component in rail fasteners. It is used to fasten railway sleepers or rail ties in the rail track and plays an important role in ensuring the stability of railroad.
Railroad spikes as the railway accessories are commonly used in railway track facilities, which were generated in early time and developed following the continuous upgrade of the railway track. Now the commonly kinds of domestic rail spikes include wood screw spike, spring spike, dog spike, conventional spike etc.
Common conventional rail spikes are divided into manual spike and machine-made spike. The process of installation and usage of two kinds of spikes are very simple and the rail spikes can be fixed by spike hammer. Manual rail spike are made by hand and thus have varies sizes. But the price of them is lower and generally sold by tons. Machine-made spikes are made by the process such as forging, heat treatment and thread chain. Regardless of the shape, size and availability they are the best choice in spite of higher price. The machine-made spikes are generally sold by units.
The process of common manual railway spike is an earlier process of the spike producing. This mode of production is used by manual forge way, making hot embryo shape of railway spike. So using this production process to make railroad spike itself exists some shortcomings, for example, part of the rail spike surface will raise or have rough selvedges, and its weight will have positive or negative deviation.
Compare to the manual railway spike, machine-made spike can avoid these problems very well. The railroad spike production process is the combination of manual and mechanical mode. Commonly machine-made spikes have smooth surface and each of them has little deviation. Therefore railroad spike can be produced batch production more effectively and there will be no high defective rate problem which commonly exists in manual spike.
