Steel rail is the main component of railway track.Its function is to guide the wheels of the locomotive and rolling stock forward, bear the great pressure of the wheels, and pass to the sleepers.The rail must provide a continuous, smooth, and least resistant rolling surface for the wheels.In the electrified railway or automatic block section, the rail can also be used as a track circuit.The rails are rolled from carbon killed steel smelted by open hearth furnace and oxygen converter.Its purpose is to bear the running pressure and impact load of rolling stock.
Classification of steel rails:
Domestic:
Steel rails in China can be divided into crane rail, heavy rail and light rail in terms of the approximate weight of kilograms per meter:
- Crane rail.There are four kinds of crane rail,they are QU120,QU100,QU80,QU70.Material is generally manganese steel,like U71Mn,U75V,U78CrV,U77MnCr,U76CrRE .QU120 steel rail has the largest single weight,up to 118kg/m.
- Heavy rail.According to the types of steel used, the steel can be divided into: common manganese steel rail, common carbon steel rail containing copper, high silicon copper steel rail, copper rail, manganese rail, silicon rail, etc.With the steel grades of U74,U71Mn,U70MnSi,U71MnSiCu,U75V,U76NbRE,U70Mn,etc.There are mainly 38kg/m, 43kg/m, 50kg/m, 60kg/m and 75kg/m steel rails.
- Light rail.There are mainly9kg/m,12kg/m,15kg/m,18kg/m,22kg/m,24kg/m,30kg/m steel rails with the steel grades of 50Q,55Q,45SiMnP,50SiMnP and Q235B.
Foreign:
Each country in the world has its own standards for the production of rails, and the way of classification is not the same.
BS standard:60A,60R,70A,75A,75R,80A,80R,90A,100A,113A with the steel grades of 700 and 900A.
