140' steel rails in 400 degree oven
140' steel rails in 400 degree oven
(OP)
Just joined this forum and am looking for some assistance in metal expansion.
scenario: Age oven with two rails that run through the oven for material movement. The rails in one oven are breaking the red head anchors off, where the other ovens rails are holding true.
Can anyone help me figure out why one may need more expansion room then the other?

It is just not making sense to me is all. The one that is popping the redheads raises on one end by 4" after a 6 hour heat cycle of 400 degrees.
Thanks for the advice
