Our 24x165 Screw Spike Grade 5.6 is a professional railway fastener manufactured with 35K carbon steel (35# steel) and paired with Fe6 spring washer, featuring hot-dip galvanized (HDG) surface treatment. With a fixed size of 24mm diameter and 165mm length, grade 5.6 strength, this screw spike is engineered for railway track fastening to secure rails, sleepers, and rail clips tightly. The screw thread design enhances anchoring force, while the Fe6 spring washer prevents loosening under long-term vibration. Strictly compliant with railway fastener standards, it provides stable, corrosion-resistant, and long-lasting performance.
In railway track operation, fastener stability directly affects driving safety. Ordinary straight-thread spikes have weak anchoring force and are prone to loosening under continuous train vibration, leading to rail displacement and potential safety hazards. Inferior materials and low-grade spikes are susceptible to bending, breaking, or thread slipping under heavy load. Without matching Fe6 spring washers, fastening tightness is insufficient, and lack of HDG finish results in rapid rust corrosion in outdoor environments—increasing maintenance frequency and replacement costs.
Our 24x165 Screw Spike Grade 5.6 with Fe6 Spring Washer HDG addresses these challenges effectively. 35K carbon steel and grade 5.6 strength ensure excellent toughness and load-bearing capacity, resisting bending and breaking. The unique screw thread design increases contact area with sleepers, enhancing anchoring force and preventing displacement under vibration. The matched Fe6 spring washer provides elastic preload, effectively preventing loosening during long-term operation. Hot-dip galvanized finish forms a thick, uniform protective layer, achieving superior corrosion resistance for outdoor, humid, and coastal railway environments.

The 24x165 screw spike adopts a screw thread structure, driven into pre-drilled holes of sleepers using professional tools. The screw thread increases friction and anchoring force between the spike and sleeper, preventing slipping or displacement under train vibration. The Fe6 spring washer is sleeved on the spike rod before nut installation; when tightened, the spring washer compresses to generate elastic preload, continuously applying pressure to the nut and effectively preventing vibration-induced loosening. The hot-dip galvanized surface layer isolates the 35K steel body from environmental elements, ensuring long-term stable performance.
Q1: What exactly does "24x165" refer to? What is the function of the accompanying spring washer?
A: "24x165" refers to a diameter of 24mm and a total length of 165mm—a common specification for standard-gauge railway lines. The accompanying Fe6 spring washer is designed to prevent loosening; it utilizes elastic tension to compensate for vibration-induced slack, effectively preventing the spike from backing out and maintaining stable, long-term clamping force.
Q2: What is the actual performance of the Grade 5.6 strength rating?
A: Grade 5.6 indicates a tensile strength of ≥560 MPa and a hardness of 140-180 HRC. This grade balances strength and toughness, making it capable of withstanding the shear and tensile stresses generated by passing trains; it is suitable for standard lines carrying mixed passenger and freight traffic.
Q3: What is unique about the material and manufacturing process?
A: We use 35K carbon steel, hot-forged to ensure an intact internal grain flow and excellent impact resistance. Threads are precision-machined via CNC to guarantee dimensional accuracy and smooth fitment. This combination effectively enhances the spike's fatigue life.
Q4: How effective is the hot-dip galvanizing against corrosion?
A: The zinc coating thickness is ≥80μm—far exceeding standard coatings—providing excellent salt spray and weather resistance for long-term outdoor use. The zinc layer acts as a sacrificial anode to protect the base metal, significantly delaying corrosion and extending maintenance intervals.
Q5: What standards does the product meet? What quality documentation is available?
A: The product strictly adheres to railway fastener industry standards; our factory is ISO 9001 certified and holds SGS test reports as well as railway fastener qualification certificates. We can provide material certificates, mechanical property reports, coating test reports, and certificates of conformity with the shipment.
Q6: What are the minimum order quantity (MOQ) and lead time?
A: Standard specifications are usually in stock, and the MOQ is flexible and negotiable. The lead time for bulk orders is 7–15 days; for urgent needs, please contact our sales team to check stock availability and arrange priority shipping.
