Product Introduction
Plain Surface Cast Iron 5.6 Grade Rail Shoulders are cast in concrete ties for the fixation of Elastic Rail Clips. These Iron Shoulders are manufactured from pearlitic malleable iron (M.C.I. Inserts) and spheroid graphite iron (S.G.C.I. Inserts).
We offer two primary types: Single Stem Iron Shoulders, mostly used in pre-stressed concrete ties, and Twin Stem Iron Shoulders, commonly used in Bi-Block or Twin Block concrete ties. The shoulder accessories are designed for specific rail sections to ensure correct elastic clip toe loading and necessary weld integrity.
