The frost is falling today, and the dew is turning into frost. Frost fall is the 18th of the 24 solar terms and the last one in autumn. At this time, the weather is getting colder and the temperature difference between day and night is increasing. In this increasingly cold season, will frost and snow really have a negative impact on these sleepers? Through in-depth analysis of the manufacturing process of anti-corrosion sleepers, we will uncover the secret.

You may wonder whether the most common wood is easy to crack or deform when experiencing low temperature? The answer is that although natural wood does have these problems, the antiseptic sleepers after special treatment are extremely tough at this point. Taking anticorrosive sleepers as an example, they undergo high-temperature steam and high-pressure treatment in the manufacturing process, which changes the outer structure of the wood, thereby improving its anticorrosion and toughness. This kind of sleeper can still maintain its original shape in frost weather, and will not cause performance degradation due to sudden temperature difference.

More importantly, the anti-corrosion oil used for these anti-corrosion sleepers is a specially formulated chemical substance, which not only effectively prevents microbial corrosion, but also maintains stable chemical properties at low temperatures in winter. Therefore, even if the external environment is cold, the anti-corrosion sleepers still adhere to their durability and support the rail for a long time and stably.

However, although the anti-corrosion sleepers can perform well in frost weather, the uncertainty of natural conditions still needs the high attention of railway engineers. Low temperature, moisture, ice and snow and other multiple factors will inevitably affect the normal progress of transportation. Therefore, when designing, manufacturing and maintaining anti-corrosion sleepers, engineers need to consider the impact of these weather changes to ensure that the physical performance and overall safety of sleepers can reach the highest standard under extreme weather conditions in winter.

In addition to the strong ability of material structure, the stability of anti-corrosion sleepers also stems from their good matching with the railway system. At the beginning of design, engineers considered the relationship between sleepers and tracks. For example, sleepers are generally placed between a certain amount of gravel and sand, forming a good drainage system, avoiding the freezing of water and the formation of ice blocks in winter at low temperatures, thus protecting the foundation structure of sleepers from direct threats.

Just imagine that when the frost strikes, the white frost flowers flicker between the railway tracks, but the anti-corrosion sleepers still stand firmly, quietly carrying thousands of journeys, and will not be shaken by the cold attack. Their toughness and durability are the driving force for serving the railway industry, making cities and villages more closely connected.

In short, the anti-corrosion sleepers can easily cope with the challenge of frost at low temperatures, mainly due to its unique manufacturing process and scientific design concept. These carefully selected and treated sleepers, like a silent guardian, bear the heavy responsibility of railway safety and the hope and future of people. Despite the wind, rain, frost and snow, they are still unswerving. No matter how the times change, the scientific, technological and humanistic concepts contained in railway anti-corrosion sleepers will always be engraved on this deep steel Avenue.
