With the acceleration of urbanization construction, the rail transit system is rapidly developing in China. And with it comes increasingly high requirements for safety, comfort and efficiency. In this context, the application of forged parts with special shapes in the rail transit industry has become inevitable.
Forged parts with special shapes are cast steel components manufactured according to specific shapes, which differ from standard forged parts. They have higher strength, toughness and corrosion resistance, and can withstand higher pressure, torque and vibration loads. The following are common applications of forged parts with special shapes in the rail transit industry.
- Wheelset forged parts: The wheelset is an essential component in the rail transit industry, and its quality and performance are closely related to the operation efficiency and safety of trains. Forged parts with special shapes, such as the forged wheel core, injectors, insulating pads and rim protectors, cleverly solve many problems in the manufacturing process of wheelsets, and improve their reliability and service life.
- Lifting equipment forged parts: The use of lifting equipment is indispensable in the construction of public transportation facilities such as subways and high-speed railways. Forged parts with special shapes, such as forged clamps, hooks, chains and bolts, can withstand large torque and tension, ensuring a smooth lifting operation.
- Rail forged parts: As a certain contact area is needed between the wheels and rails, this has also given rise to the application of forged parts with special shapes on the rails. Compared with ordinary forged parts, forged parts with special shapes have higher surface hardness, superior internal properties, better wear resistance and longer service life, providing better protection for railway infrastructure.
The above three areas are the main applications of forged parts with special shapes in the rail transit industry. In practical applications, forged parts with special shapes are combined with standard parts and other components to form a stable and efficient operating mechanism for rail transit systems. In the future, with the continuous upgrading of technology, the application of forged parts with special shapes in the rail transit industry will become more diverse and widespread.
