Elongation	7	10	15
Hardness	170~230HB	160~210HB	130~180HB

Weld-on Railway Shoulders

Features of Railway Shoulders

1. Designed for compatibility with E-style elastic rail clips, the weld-on shoulder fastening enables customers to fabricate rail retaining units on both steel sleepers and steel base plates.
2. The rail cast iron shoulders can also be welded onto longer steel sleeper sections or bearers for use in switch and crossing layouts, where vertical rail geometry is required. The specific positioning of the railway shoulder based on layout design renders it exceptionally useful and cost-effective.

During railroad construction, railway shoulders are pre-installed in concrete rail sleepers. These shoulders are integral components placed during the pouring of the structure and serve to bond the superstructure while facilitating the installation and fixation of external engineering equipment. Railway shoulders are metal components arranged prior to concrete casting, employed to connect ground fastening devices like rail bolts and elastic rail clips. AGICO Rail is recognized for producing and supplying railway shoulders for a diverse range of railway projects globally, and these components are extensively used in modern railroad developments. While metal, including steel bars and cast iron, predominantly constitutes railway shoulders, non-metallic materials such as wood and plastic are also utilized in some applications.
