2022 Steel Rail Selection Guide: International Standard, Features, Applications

Steel rail:

Steel rail mainly used to guide the train wheels far forwarding which is the main part of railway track components.The categories of rails are divided into: light rail, heavy rail, Crane Rail. Its function is to guide the locomotive wheels of the vehicle to go forwards, bear the huge pressure of the wheel, and is installed on the sleeper. What's more, the track rail must be continuous, smooth. Steel rail is mainly used in the train, the high-speed rail, the subway and the urban traffic road construction. Also can be used for workshop, coal,gold iron ore, ect. 

 

Due to high quality and competitive prices, our rails have been exported to over 50 countries, including Mongolia, America, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Britain, Spain, Belgium, Poland, India, Thailand, Malaysia, and Sudan, etc.

In order to ensure better quality, the steel rails have to undergo various tests, such as chemical composition test, tensile strength test, hardness test and drop weight test.
