Steel Rail overview
Steel rails are essential components of railway track systems, providing a stable surface for trains to run on. Steel rails are categorized based on material composition, mechanical properties, weight, and length. We are a professional and reliable manufacturer of steel rails, producing a wide range of steel rails that meet international standards. We offer technical support and services, and can also provide custom solutions based on customer requirements. Feel free to contact us for more information.
Classification of Railway Rails in China
The classification of railway rails currently produced by us is as follows:
Steel Type:
Carbon Rails: These are primarily made by adding carbon (C) and manganese (Mn) to improve strength and toughness, such as U71Mn, AP1, and U74.
Alloy Rails: Based on carbon rails, alloy rails add elements such as vanadium (V), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), and molybdenum (Mo) to improve strength and toughness, such as PD1, PD3, and V-Ti rails.
Heat-Treated Rails: These are carbon rails that undergo heating and controlled cooling to improve their metallurgical structure, resulting in high strength and toughness, such as PD2.
By Rail Weight:
38 kg/m (P38)
43 kg/m (P43)
45 kg/m (P45)
50 kg/m (P50)
60 kg/m (P60)
75 kg/m (P75)
By Mechanical Properties:
Standard Rails: These have a tensile strength of no less than 800 MPa.
High-Strength Rails: These have a tensile strength of no less than 900 MPa.
Wear-Resistant Rails: These have a tensile strength of no less than 1100 MPa.
Rail Length:
12.5 m, 25 m, 75 m, and 100 m. Currently, 25 m rails are most commonly produced.
