what is a common rail?
DESCRIPTION
In the new sophisticated diesel direct injection diesel and gasoline , the common rail plays an essential role. Exposed continuously to increased pressure and heat, its performance is crucial for the whole system.TRANSCRIPT
What Is a Common Rail?
1
2
The common rail is the most essential
component of the direct fuel injection system:
diesel or gasoline.
Its role is to accumulate highly pressurized fuel
and distribute it to the injectors.
3
Why is a Common Rail Critical for Your Car?
Because a common rail failure can block the entire vehicle or
set it on fire.
Therefore:
A common rail should possess best mechanical properties.

DESIGN
1. The next-generation gasoline and diesel engines tend to become
smaller and lighter. The common rail shape should conform to the new
engine requirements and support high pressure.
2. Size and weight have been minimized, therefore material and design
optimized.
3. Geometry mistakes can easily lead to damage. The precise
parameters should be defined in the design phase and strictly followed
during the manufacturing process.
6
RAW MATERIAL SELECTION
The steels of which common rail are manufactured should possess
the following mechanical properties:
1. Excellent Internal Pressure Fatigue Resisting Property
2. Vibration Fatigue Resisting Property
3. Cavitation Resisting Property
7
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Forging with high-quality dies and tools is the best way to
manufacture common rails:
1. When forged, the common rail consists only of one piece
which eliminates the risk for cracks and leakages.
2. Forging strengthens the material by closing empty spaces
within the metal
3. Only hot forged steel offers resistance and reliability that go
hand in hand with the reduction of emission of gas and
particles.

FINAL PARAMETERS
1. Cooling
The right cooling contributes to optimized strength and resistance
of the component, providing best mechanical properties.
2. Trimming
Trimming is a precise operation which ensures the final
parameters and should be done with special attention.
