A tsheb ciav hlau loj, tseem hu ua Rail Spike, Kev Railway Spike, taug qab Spike, Sprance Spike, Kev Tsheb Ciav Hlau, lossis Railroad Khi Ntsia Hlau, Xws liaub ntsia hlau loj thiabNtsia Hlau Ntaus2 Hom.Yog ib qho ntawm cov pob txha caj qaum tau siv los txhim kho cov kab ciav hlau thiab cov ciav hlau railroad, uas ua si lub luag haujlwm tseem ceeb hauv kev tsheb ciav hlau.
Hais txog kev nyab xeeb, qhov xwm txheej ntawm cov kab ke ntawm cov spikes ncaj qha cuam tshuam kev nyab xeeb kev nyab xeeb. Ib txoj kev tsheb ciav hlau ib zaug ua rau kev hloov pauv tom qab ntawm kev tsheb nqaj hlau, muaj peev xwm ua rau kev coj ua loj me me xws li qhia kev qhia. Yog li ntawd, thaum lub sijhawm kev tsheb ciav hlau ib txwm muaj, kev tshuaj xyuas ntawm cov ciav hlau yuav tsum tau ua ntej ua qhov haujlwm tseem ceeb. Daim ntawv thov ntawm cov kev tshawb nrhiav niaj hnub thev naus laus zis, xws li cov tsheb soj ntsuam, tau ua rau cov kev saib xyuas ntawm cov khoom siv nrawm dua thiab muaj tseeb.
Nrog rau kev nce ua txuas ntxiv hauv kev tsheb ciav hlau sib txuas, cov kev ua tau zoo yuav tsum muaj cov khoom siv cov khoom siv ceev nrawm kuj tseem nce ntxiv. Gnee cov kiv txuas tsis tu ncua hloov cov ntaub ntawv tsim khoom thiab cov txheej txheem rau kev tsheb ciav hlau txhim kho. Cov piv txwv suav nrog kev yuav nce siab dua- Lub zog alsoy lossis txhim kho ntau dua corrosion {}} awant ntau {ovistant nto kho tshuab. Cov kev txhim kho no yuav ua rau muaj kev cia siab ntxiv thiab kev pabcuam lub neej ntawm txoj kev kho cov ntsiab lus.
