What is rail oblique cutting processing
Edit:Zongxiang Heavy Industry--Nicole Date:2024-07-30 17:10:36

Rail oblique cutting refers to the process of cutting at a predetermined angle and depth at a certain part of the rail. This cutting method can change the geometric shape of the steel rail to meet different usage requirements. Under curved sections or special terrain conditions, the geometric shape of the steel rail can be adjusted by oblique cutting to better adapt to the line conditions and reduce vibration and noise during train operation. The oblique cutting of steel rails, especially at angles of 45 degrees and 60 degrees, plays an important role in railway engineering. These two cutting methods not only affect the laying effect of steel rails, but also directly affect the stability and safety of train operation. Firstly, the 45 degree oblique cut technology for steel rails is widely used in the joint treatment of railway tracks. This technology changes the traditional vertical cutting method of rail joints by using a 45 degree oblique cut, making the left and right rails symmetrical to each other. When paving the tracks, traditional methods are used for splicing, but the gap between the front and rear tracks needs to be maintained at a certain distance, and the inclination angle of the left and right tracks should be symmetrical to meet the design requirements. This technology effectively reduces the impact, vibration, and noise generated when the train wheels roll over the joint, and extends the loosening time of the roadbed below the joint. It is particularly suitable for passenger mainlines that require high comfort and for high-altitude and permafrost areas that are sensitive to vibration. The 60 degree oblique cut of steel rails, although not as common as the 45 degree oblique cut in joint treatment, also has its unique application value in certain specific scenarios. Choosing the appropriate cutting angle can better adapt to different engineering requirements. Generally speaking, the larger the cutting angle, the lower the cutting force. Although the cutting effect may be slightly inferior to small angle cutting, the service life of the cutting tool will be extended. Therefore, when cutting thicker rails, a 60 degree oblique cut may be a more reasonable choice as it can improve cutting efficiency while protecting the cutting tool from excessive load damage. The 45 ° or 60 ° oblique cut connection of the steel rail can reduce the vibration and wear caused by the driving over the track joint, making the driving smoother. At the same time, it also reduces the noise during operation, especially the impact and deformation of the crane beam caused by vibration when the driving load reaches the steel rail joint.

Our company processes steel rails, cutting them at various angles and sizes directly. A customer from Singapore found us through online search, and their company is facing the maintenance and modernization of an old railway line. Some bends in the route need to be replaced with specific angles to ensure stability and safety when trains pass through. After understanding the customer's needs, we provided them with steel rail processing services. After several email exchanges, the customer ultimately decided to use the 43 kilogram steel rail 45 ° oblique cutting process. When two steel rails cut at a 45 ° angle are joined together, their cross-sections will interlock with each other, forming a tight connection. This connection method helps to reduce splicing gaps and improve the overall strength and stability of the steel rail. In addition, oblique cutting can better disperse stress, reduce the occurrence of fatigue cracks, and thus improve the fatigue resistance of rails. The 45 ° cutting of 43 kg steel rails has the advantages of high processing accuracy, superior material properties, strong connection stability, and high application flexibility. After the customer places the order, we immediately arrange for the factory to process the steel rails and load them. At the same time, we actively contact the freight company to ensure that the products can arrive smoothly in Singapore.
