Railway oil immersed sleepers are a common basic building material on railway lines, which bear the enormous pressure and weight of trains and are an indispensable and important component of railway lines. However, with the increase of usage time, railway oil immersed sleepers are prone to cracking, which not only affects the safety and stability of railway lines, but also brings serious safety hazards to trains. Therefore, early handling and effective prevention of cracking are crucial. So, what if the railway oil immersed sleepers crack? What are the ways to avoid cracking? Next, Qingdao Tiehan will discuss with everyone.
To analyze the treatment methods after sleeper cracking and the ways to prevent sleeper cracking, we first need to understand the reasons why railway oil immersed sleepers are prone to cracking. Railway oil immersed sleepers are materials made from wood that have undergone high-temperature and high-pressure impregnation treatment. Their interior is filled with anti-corrosion oil, which maintains high flexibility and wear resistance. But with the extension of usage time, the accumulated pressure from railway trains and the environment causes irreversible effects on the sleeper structure, consuming the flexibility of the sleeper and naturally leading to cracking. In addition, due to the influence of sunlight and rain, the drying and shrinkage of the surface of the sleepers can also exacerbate the cracking situation.
So, what if the oil soaked sleepers on the railway crack? Before addressing the issue of cracking, we need to analyze the state of cracking. For example, are there only slight cracks on the surface of the sleepers, or are there traces of compression cracking at both ends. Determine the situation of cracking and apply targeted treatment.
If the maintenance is done well, some cracked sleepers will be discovered when there are slight cracks. In this case, anti loosening wire can be used to bind the cracked areas without affecting railway operation, to delay their cracking. For sleepers that are severely cracked and affect their use, it is advisable to consider replacing them with new oil immersed sleepers in a timely manner to ensure the stability and safety of the railway line.
Next, let's explore how to effectively prevent cracking of railway oil immersed sleepers.
We often say that children's education cannot be inferior to the starting line, and the same goes for preventing railway sleepers from cracking. In the production process, targeted measures should be taken to strengthen their ability to prevent cracking. For example, before soaking in oil, dry the sleepers to reduce the moisture content inside and provide more space for the anti-corrosion oil to penetrate. Another important aspect is the anti loosening wire, which is tied at both ends of the sleeper before being immersed in oil. This way, the soaked sleeper is an oil immersed sleeper with anti loosening wire, which has a good effect on reducing sleeper cracking.
In short, the cracking of railway oil immersed sleepers is an important hidden danger to the safety and stability of railway lines. Early treatment and effective prevention of cracking are of great significance for ensuring the safety and smoothness of railway operation. We can solve the problem of cracking by repairing, tying iron wires, and taking preventive measures to ensure the safety and stability of railway lines. I hope that the railway department and staff can strengthen the maintenance and upkeep of railway oil immersed sleepers, strictly follow regulations and standards in their work, and ensure the smooth and safe operation of railway lines.
