Rail tie plates are key components in railway tracks, distributing load and maintaining rail alignment. Choosing the right material and manufacturing method ensures performance and safety.
Rolled Tie Plates:
Rolled rail tie plates are usually made from Q235 carbon steel (A3), offering good strength, plasticity, and weldability. This makes them reliable for standard railway rail fasteners and track systems.
Cast Tie Plates:
Casting is widely used for rail tie plates. QT400-18 cast steel provides high toughness, good machinability, and excellent weldability, ideal for durable cast rail fasteners under dynamic loads.
