Railway Steel Rail Dog Spikes

Railway Steel Rail Dog Spikes

Dog spikes is functionally equivalent to a cut spike and is also square in horizontal section and of similar dimensions, but has a pointed penetrating end, and the rail head has two lugs on either side, giving the impression of a dog's head and aiding spike removal.

Railway Dog Spikes - Installation Failure Analysis & Solutions

Installation Failure Phenomenon Possible Cause Detection Method Solution Prevention Measure
Dog spike head cracks during driving 1. Material cold brittleness (low temperature)2. Excessive driving torque 1. Visual inspection for cracks2. Torque meter verification 1. Replace with low-temperature-resistant material (e.g., Q355B)2. Reduce torque by 10–15% 1. Pre-heat spikes to 5–10℃ in ≤-10℃ environment2. Calibrate driving tool torque monthly
Coating peeling within 3 months 1. Coating thickness insufficient2. Tie surface with oil/stain 1. Magnetic thickness gauge test2. Visual inspection of tie surface 1. Replace with spikes with qualified coating (≥80μm for HDG)2. Clean tie surface before installation 1. 100% coating thickness inspection before delivery2. Wipe tie installation position with degreaser
Insulation layer damage (insulated type) 1. Installation tool collision2. Insulation layer material aging 1. Insulation resistance tester (≤10⁶Ω = damaged)2. Visual check for scratches 1. Replace damaged spikes2. Use tools with rubber sleeves 1. Install protective sleeve on insulation layer during storage2. Avoid direct tool contact with insulation layer
