A UIC54 rail joint bar, also named as UIC54 rail fish plate, UIC54 rail tie, is a metal bar used to connect two lengths of UIC 54-gauge railway track, ensuring continuity and stability for trains. This type of joint bar is manufactured to the standards of the International Union of Railways (UIC) and is specifically designed to join UIC 54 rails.
Function: The bar connects the ends of two rails and is held in place by bolts, maintaining the alignment of the track.
Dimensions: UIC54 joint bars are designed for the UIC 54 rail profile and can come with 4 or 6 holes for bolts.
Material and properties: They are typically made from high-strength steel, like Chinese steel grade 40# C or 55#, with a tensile strength of around 550-650 MPa to withstand the forces of passing trains.
Application: They are a standard component in many railway systems, particularly those that use the UIC 54 rail profile.
Design: Matched to the specific UIC54 rail profile (also known as 54E1).
Dimensions: Available in various lengths and hole counts, such as 920mm long with 6 holes or 630mm long with 4 holes.
Material: Typically forged from steel like 40# or 50#, and sometimes made from 900A or 1100 grade steel for high-strength applications.
Tensile Strength: High tensile strength, often in the range of 550-650 MPa, with an elongation of at least 18%.
Strength and durability: Engineered for medium and heavy-load traffic, providing strong and stable connections.
Elasticity: High-quality joint bars have enough elasticity to absorb vibrations and shocks from train movement.
Connection: Connects two rail ends to act as a continuous girder, ensuring uniform surface and alignment.
Load transfer: Resistance to deflection is designed to be as close as possible to that of the rail itself.
Durability: Manufactured using heat treatment to ensure durability and wear resistance.
Applications: Used in mainline railways, urban transit, and industrial track systems where stability is critical.
Function: Prevents vertical and lateral movement of the rail ends while allowing for longitudinal expansion and contraction.
Performance under load: Designed to handle moderate to heavy dynamic loads from train operations.
Versatility: Some are a universal type that can be used with different types of sleepers.
