When purchasing sleepers, it is usually necessary to choose sleepers that have been treated with anti-corrosion and sleepers that have not been treated with anti-corrosion. The price difference between these two types of sleepers is significant, which often makes us unsure how to choose. Today, Qingdao Tiehan will analyze with you why anti-corrosion sleepers are more expensive than ordinary sleepers? Who has a higher cost performance ratio?
Whether it is anti-corrosion sleepers or ordinary sleepers, they are usually made of common woods such as pine and oak. The difference between the two is whether they have undergone anti-corrosion treatment. Anti corrosion sleepers are ordinary sleepers before undergoing anti-corrosion treatment, which means there is an additional anti-corrosion treatment process compared to ordinary sleepers. And because of such an additional process, it has completely become two products.
Since we need to talk about cost-effectiveness, we cannot just focus on price, but more importantly, analyze the cost-effectiveness of the two. Cost performance ratio includes many aspects. Let's first talk about the anti-corrosion performance of sleepers. Anti corrosion sleepers are wood that has undergone special treatment, usually by impregnating the surface of the wood or injecting preservatives, to give the wood good corrosion resistance. Traditional ordinary sleepers, on the other hand, are susceptible to corrosion, especially in humid environments where they are easily attacked by microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria, leading to the decay and damage of the sleepers. Therefore, anti-corrosion sleepers have obvious advantages in anti-corrosion performance and can be used for a long time in humid environments without being affected.
Sleepers that have undergone anti-corrosion treatment can function in more harsh environments, which is also why railway sleepers use anti-corrosion sleepers. The interior of the anti-corrosion sleepers is filled with anti-corrosion oil, making them more solid, durable, and resilient. In the special usage environment of railways, the service life of anti-corrosion sleepers is much longer than that of ordinary sleepers.
Finally, there is a comparison of maintenance costs. Anti corrosion sleepers have a significant advantage in maintenance costs due to their longer service life. In contrast, ordinary sleepers often require more frequent maintenance and replacement, requiring more manpower and financial resources. And anti-corrosion sleepers, due to their longer service life, can reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement, save a lot of maintenance costs, and provide users with a better user experience.
Overall, anti-corrosion sleepers have significant advantages in terms of anti-corrosion performance, service life, and maintenance costs. As a more durable and cost-effective choice, anti-corrosion sleepers are widely used in infrastructure construction such as railways and roads, bringing greater convenience and economic benefits to users. Of course, ordinary sleepers also have their advantages, and the type of sleepers to use needs to be comprehensively considered based on the usage environment.
