Rail Forging
INTRODUCE :
One of the products the railway and locomotive industry relies on is forged parts. Kingrail Parts has extensive experience in the forging industry, so you can trust us to deliver reliable rail and locomotive components.
We can forge stainless steel up to 30 pounds and alloy and carbon steel up to 100 pounds. We also provide design and tooling services, including optimal forging design, metallurgical consulting, and more.
Kingrai Parts forges excellent processes for producing a wide range of components for railway engines, rolling stock and boxcars for the railway industry.
SPECIFICATIONS :
Our forged rail and locomotive components include:
1. Ball joint.
We use forging to achieve different ball joint shapes to suit a variety of rail industry applications.
2. Cams.
Forging ensures that manufacturers meet customer requirements when manufacturing cams used in railway and locomotive equipment.
3. Caps.
Forging provides an excellent method of manufacturing covers used in the railroad industry.
4. Clutch.
The heating process during forging allows manufacturers to design the correct clutch tooth shape.
5. Discs.
Disc forging can produce large steel discs for use in valves for railway applications.
6. Flange.
Forging helps strengthen the flange that guides the movement of the part.
7. Gears.
Gear designs require simple to complex configurations, and forging helps enhance the fatigue properties of the steel, simplifying the design process.
8. Nuts.
Hot forging is used to manufacture nuts used in numerous fastening applications in the railway industry.
9. Valves.
By forging your valve, you eliminate possible problems such as cracks, porosity, and shrinkage.
10. Handbrake assembly.
Forging is ideal for safety components such as pinions, shock absorbers, levers and cams.
11. Other forged components
Other track components that can be produced by forging include pins, rod ends, shafts, spindles, sprockets, yokes, etc.
Rail forging process
1. The first step in forging is to choose the metal. Commonly used metals include aluminum, carbon, copper, brass, stainless steel, cobalt, titanium, nickel, molybdenum and alloy metals.
2. Once the metal is selected and cut to size, it is heated to the appropriate temperature for shaping.
3. Depending on the forging method, the metal can be inserted into a mold and compressed or pressed between the two dies. With cold forging, the operator brings the workpiece to room temperature and works it manually.
4. After forging, track components may require secondary finishing processes such as trimming.
