SCM440H flat bar as rail

In today's automation industry, most production lines use rails, or guide rails, as linear actuators.

Sliding rails come in many different types and sizes made from many different alloy steels. The following article we will learn about SCM440H steel plate as a rail. SCM440H steel has any characteristics as well as the benefits of SCM440H steel plate when making rails.

1. Overview of the application of rails

The rail is a linear driving element integrated in a number of applications such as production lines, CNC machines, automation machines, Robots and some other types of machines.

The rail will help the machine move back and forth precisely, even though the slider itself and the rail are under a certain load, the device still operates smoothly and accurately.

Due to the working environment of the rails in continuous operating conditions, besides that it also has to bear heavy loads, so the rails must be made of special steel with high rigidity to withstand heavy loads and at the same time be resistant to grinding. trail.

Currently, many types of steel are used as rails, but through the process of researching and working with many units, we all think that SCM440H steel is a suitable steel grade for rail applications. And why they are suitable, let's find out later.

2. SCM440H steel benefits as rail

SCM440H steel is a steel grade produced by Japanese JIS standard steel. Some manufacturers arrange SCM440H steel into a chromium - Molipden alloy steel bin. Because in steel chemical composition SCM440H has chromium content (accounts for from 0.85% to 1.25%) and Molipden content (from 0.15% to 0.35%) helped steel billets improve the muscle. steel very much.

As mentioned above, thanks to the addition of chromium and molybdenum to the chemical composition of SCM440H steel, the mechanical properties of steel have been improved significantly compared to conventional carbon steels. SCM440H steel has the following properties:

- Homogeneous hardness on all dimensions;

- The load, abrasion and impact resistance of SCM440H steel is greatly improved and superior to carbon steel S45C, S50C, S55C;

- High deformation resistance;

- Easy to process by wire after heat treatment;

- Tensile strength easily reaches 10.0 after annealing;

In addition, SCM440 steel plate has a thickness of 16 (mm) - 120 (mm), width 1000 (mm); length 6000 (mm). With this diverse specification, SCM440 steel plate can completely be applied to many different types of rails.

With the above characteristics and specifications, it is easy to see that SCM440H steel sheet is superior to some other alloy steels in the application of railway types. And here are some of the benefits we have gathered:

- SCM440H steel plate with diverse specifications should be applicable to many different types of rails;

- Homogeneous hardness on all points helps to cut machining costs, tools as well as billet.

- Increasing the life of the product helps save time and effort.

- Increasing productivity, bringing quality products.

- Increase profits and reputation for businesses.

From the above analysis, it can be seen that SCM440H steel plate is the perfect choice for the rail application because of its characteristics such as abrasion resistance, heavy load, impact resistance, uniform hardness.
