Shearing Process of Rail Clip 

Selecting of Raw Material: We choose premium strong strength grade steel as raw material for producing rail clip, the steel is reliable and from certified long term producer. 

Shearing: The spring steel need to be sheered to specified length.  

Heating: The sheared rods are heated to the 950 ℃ to 1000 ℃, but the workers must pay attention to check the decarburization. 

Forming: The heated bar is transferred to power press for forging, and then be transported to the quenching tank for quenching and tempering. 

Inspection: the clips are checked for the dimensional accuracy and quench hardness by the inspection facility. 

Surface Treatment: The surface can be oiled or other color according to the requirement of customers. 

Packing: Plastic bags and wooden pallets or other packing way according to clients' requirement.
