Steel Rail and Sleeper
The structure of railway track respectively is track bed, sleeper, and steel rail. Sleeper is used to support load from steel rail together with the weight itself and then pass on weight to the track bed. Steel rail is the basic bearing structure of railway track which is used to guide the locomotive vehicle and provides wheel rolling contact surface of least resistance at the same time. High quality steel rail must possess enough bearing capacity, bending strength, fracture toughness, stability and corrosion resistance performance.

Heavy rail of GB2585-2007 Standard
Steel rail can be divided into two types: heavy rail and light rail. Heavy rail means which weight greater than 30kg per meter. It includes general heavy rail and crane rail. The general rail usually refers to trunk railway, special railway line, curve, tunnel rail. Rail section of heavy rail is greater than the light, and able to withstand greater force.

Steel Rail Quality and Measures of Slow Down the Rail Fatigue
- After rolling, steel rail should be straight and cannot have significant bending and torsion. For the part bending and torsion of heavy rail and rectify the deformation, end of the rail tilt, etc., shall not exceed the standard rules.
- Steel surface should be clean and smooth and cannot have crack, scarring, scratches and other defects; Ending of face shall not be with marks of shrinkage cavity and intercalation, etc. Overall of light and heavy rail surface defects and its geometrical quantity levels shall not exceed the provisions of the standard.
- Measures of slow down the rail fatigue: Purifying the steel rail, control form of sundries; Adopting quenched rail, developing high quality heavy rail and improving steel rail mechanical properties; Reform the old rail system and make reasonable use of steel rail; Rail grinding, etc.
Steel Rolling Process and Quality Control
Raw material--Heating--High-pressure water dephosphorization--Primary rolling--High-pressure wind dephosphorization--Precision rolling--Saw cutting--Pre-bending--Air cooling—the test of chemical composition and mechanical properties--Vertical straighting--Ultrasonic detection--Drilling and milling—Heat treatment--Inspection and analysis—Labeling--Packing--Storage
Railway Sleeper
Railway sleeper is the fundamental, important and indispensable material for railway line. The railway sleeper plays an important role in fixing railway track gauge, bearing the weight from steel rail and passing vehicles, evenly dispersing the pressure of railway track so as to keeping the railway more stable and expedite. With the development of railway industry, railway sleeper can be divided into three types up to now: wooden sleeper, concrete sleeper, steel sleeper. The following are the basic parameter of our UIC865 Series Steel Sleeper and BS-500 Series Steel Sleeper.
