Some friends may not yet know what anti-corrosion sleepers are. Let's first explain that anti-corrosion sleepers are common materials in railway and road transportation infrastructure, laid under railway tracks to support them. Once laid, this type of material needs to be maintained for a long time, but over time, anti-corrosion sleepers may encounter some problems, one of which is cracking. Some people are concerned whether this cracking is related to the "scoring" process of the sleeper during anti-corrosion treatment, and whether the sleeper is more prone to cracking after scoring treatment.

The so-called "scoring" refers to using a scoring machine to carve some fine seams with a depth of less than 13mm on the surface of the sleeper according to the track, and the spacing between the fine seams is strictly required. To facilitate better immersion of anti-corrosion oil into the interior of the sleepers during oil immersion treatment.

So someone asked, does the scratch treatment damage the surface structure of the sleeper, making it easier for the sleeper to crack?

In fact, scratch treatment does not necessarily make sleepers more prone to cracking, and taking some measures can effectively prevent sleepers from cracking. Generally speaking, the cracking of sleepers is mostly caused by changes in the external environment, such as temperature and humidity changes, which can affect the stability of sleepers and lead to cracking. Only by understanding the reasons for the split can we better prevent cracking.

Next, let's explore whether scratch treatment will make sleepers more prone to cracking. Scratch treatment is aimed at improving the anti-corrosion function of sleepers. Through scratch treatment, the penetration depth of preservatives can be increased, better protecting the interior of the wood. Some people are concerned that scratch treatment will reduce the structural strength of sleepers, making them more prone to cracking. But in fact, scientific and reasonable scratch treatment will not significantly affect the structural strength of sleepers, but can improve their anti-corrosion ability and extend their service life.

So, what measures can be taken to prevent cracking after scratch treatment? In fact, anti-corrosion sleepers are not uncommon in our daily lives, and they are not only visible on railways. I don't know if anyone has noticed a large truck on the roadside. When the truck is empty, there will always be a few long rectangular pieces of wood on it, which are sleepers. Observing the sleepers on a large truck, we can also find that the ends of the scratched sleepers are usually tied with iron wires. Don't underestimate those two small iron wires, they effectively prevent the sleeper from cracking.

Overall, scientific and reasonable scratch treatment will not make anti-corrosion sleepers more prone to cracking. On the contrary, scratch treatment can improve the anti-corrosion ability of sleepers and extend their service life. By taking measures such as tying iron wires at both ends, regular maintenance and upkeep, it is possible to effectively prevent sleeper cracking and ensure the safety and stability of transportation infrastructure. Therefore, when using anti-corrosion sleepers, we do not need to worry too much about scratch treatment causing the sleepers to crack, but should pay attention to scientific and reasonable production, installation, and maintenance to improve the service life and stability of the sleepers.
