RAILWAY SYSTEM
MATERIALS USED IN RAILWAY SYSTEM
The railway system relies on a variety of materials known for their durability, strength, and resistance to wear and environmental conditions. A & M Manufacturing Company Ltd brings extensive expertise in utilising these materials to manufacture critical railway system parts and components, ensuring safety and reliability in operations. Here’s how we apply our capabilities across key materials:
Carbon Steel: Used extensively in the construction of railway tracks, carbon steel provides the necessary hardness and strength to withstand the weight and speed of trains. A & M Manufacturing Company Ltd specialises in processing carbon steel to produce rail components, ties, and other structural components, applying rigorous quality control measures to ensure these parts meet the stringent safety standards required by the railway industry.
Alloy Steel: used for components requiring higher strength and wear resistance, such as rail anchors, fastening parts, and coupling systems. Our expertise in alloy steel allows us to forge and machine parts that can endure the dynamic and static loads encountered in railway operations, guaranteeing longevity and performance.
Stainless Steel: preferred for its corrosion resistance and strength, making it ideal for carriage construction, interior fixtures, and external paneling. At A & M Manufacturing Company Ltd, we utilise stainless steel to fabricate components that maintain their integrity and appearance over time, even in harsh weather conditions.
Aluminium: its lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties make it suitable for high-speed train body components, infrastructure and other critical railway components. We leverage our knowledge in aluminium processing to manufacture parts that contribute to fuel efficiency and speed, without compromising safety or durability.
Copper and Copper Alloys: Copper alloys, known for their resistance to corrosion, are used in bearings and brushings. Our casting, precision machining and fabrication capabilities ensure that these components meet the high-quality standards necessary for the safe and efficient operation of railway systems.
A & M MANUFACTURING COMPANY LTD'S SPECIALTY IN THE RAILWAY INDUSTRY
A & M Manufacturing Company Ltd excels in the railway industry, showcasing our expertise across a spectrum of manufacturing techniques tailored for the production of essential railway infrastructure components.
Through investment casting, we manufacture precision parts such as signal levers and track switch components, where intricate designs and exact specifications are crucial. Sand casting and shell mould casting are strategically employed for heavier, structural parts such as rail anchors and crossing pieces, which require robustness and longevity under rigorous use.
Gravity die casting is adeptly used for producing durable aluminium fixtures and signalling equipment, benefiting from the method’s ability to achieve parts with excellent surface finish and dimensional consistency.
Forging stands at the core of creating high-load bearing components such as rail clips and fasteners, leveraging the process’s capacity to significantly improve the metal’s strength and resistance to fatigue.
Precision machining further refines every component, from track fittings to junction boxes, ensuring they adhere to the precise tolerances necessary for seamless railway operations.
At A & M Manufacturing Company Ltd, our comprehensive approach, combining these specialised techniques, allows us to offer customised solutions that meet the unique demands of the railway sector, ensuring our contributions enhance the structural integrity, safety, and efficiency of railway systems.
