Hardened Railway Sleeper Dowel Pin, 40Cr Alloy Steel, Quenched and Tempered, HRC 40-45, Precision Ground Surface
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory – a trusted manufacturer with over 25 years of experience (since 1998) in producing high-quality railway components. Our Hardened Railway Sleeper Dowel Pin is made from premium 40Cr alloy steel, undergoes quenched and tempered heat treatment, and achieves a hardness of HRC 40-45. The precision-ground surface ensures exceptional dimensional accuracy and a smooth finish, making it an ideal choice for secure rail fastening systems. We export annually US$5 million to US$10 million worth of products to markets worldwide, including North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Oceania, delivering reliable performance and long service life.
This dowel pin is specifically designed for railway sleeper applications, providing a robust connection between the sleeper and the rail base. The combination of 40Cr alloy steel and careful heat treatment gives it excellent wear resistance, fatigue strength, and impact toughness. The precision ground surface minimizes friction and ensures easy installation, while the consistent hardness across the entire pin guarantees uniform performance under heavy loads and harsh environmental conditions.
