Characteristics of normal-rail welded rails up to 360 m

Normal gauge welded rail up to 360 m is a key component of railroad infrastructure, made of high-quality steel. It is characterized by exceptional durability and resistance to bending and abrasion, which is the result of advanced heat treatment methods. Production is carried out in a multi-stage process, starting with the selection of the right quality steel, followed by hot rolling and precision final welding.

A key aspect of production is the use of butt-welding technology, which allows individual rail segments to be joined into long, continuous sections.

In terms of physical properties, normal-rail rails welded to 360 meters are distinguished by a uniform distribution of internal stresses, which is important for the safety and smoothness of railroad traffic.

Features and advantages of normal-rail welded rails up to 360 m

Features of normal-gauge welded rails up to 360 m:

• High quality steel - the use of specially selected steel ensures long service life.
• Advanced welding technology - the use of butt-welding methods ensures strong and durable connections between segments.
• Length up to 360 meters - rail segments up to 360 meters in length minimize the need for joints.

Advantages of normal-gauge rails welded up to 360 m:

• Increased infrastructure life - longer rail life reduces the need for frequent replacements and repairs.
• Reduced maintenance costs - long rail lengths reduce the need for frequent servicing and splicing.
• Efficiency in installation - long rails allow for faster and more efficient installation work.

Welded normal rail profiles up to 360 m

We offer welded normal-gauge rails up to 360 m with profiles 49E1 and 60E1.

49E1 rail profile

Features:

• Weight of about 49.39 kg per meter.
• Height of 149 mm, which provides good track stability.
• Base width of 125 mm, which allows stable seating on sleepers.
• Head thickness of 67 mm, providing abrasion resistance.

Advantages:

• Good resistance to vertical and lateral loads.
• Suitable for a wide range of applications - from local traffic to some types of freight traffic.

Disadvantages:

• This profile is not ideal for high speeds, which can be a problem on high-speed rail routes.
• Wears out faster in heavy use, especially on curves.

60E1 Rail Profile

Features:

• Weight of about 60.21 kg per meter.
• Height of 172 mm, which provides better strength and stability.
• Base width of 150 mm, which increases stability on sleepers.
• Head thickness of 72 mm, which increases abrasion resistance.

Advantages:

• Profile suitable for heavy freight and passenger traffic, including high-speed trains.
• Thicker head provides longer life, especially on heavily used routes.
• Thicker and wider base increases track stability.

Disadvantages:

• Higher cost compared to lighter weight profiles.
• Greater weight and size can make installation more difficult and require better base materials.

Steel grades

We offer normal-gauge welded railroad rails up to 360m in R260 and R350HT steel.

R260 steel grade

Features:

• Low carbon steel with additives of manganese, silicon and other elements to improve its properties.
• Tensile strength of about MPa.
• Hardness in the range of 260 HB (Brinell).

Advantages:

• R260 steel has a good combination of strength and wear resistance.
• Good energy absorption capacity, which is advantageous for dynamic loads.
• Suitable for most standard railroad applications, including passenger and freight traffic.

Disadvantages:

• Not ideal for very heavy traffic or extreme climatic conditions.

R350HT steel grade

Features:

• High-carbon steel with additives such as chromium and vanadium, which increases its strength and hardness.
• Tensile strength of more than 1175 MPa.
• Hardness in the range of 350 HB (Brinell).

Advantages:

• Steel suitable for heavy-duty railroads, where high hardness translates into longer service life.
• Excellent properties under high dynamic loads and severe operating conditions.
• Higher hardness means less susceptibility to deformation.

Disadvantages:

• Higher than lower hardness steels.
• High hardness can make machining processes such as cutting or welding more difficult.
• Lower energy absorption capacity compared to lower hardness steels.

Application of normal-gauge welded rails up to 360 m

Normal-gaugewelded rails up to 360 m with the 49E1 profile are widely used in the construction of railroads suitable for medium-intensity passenger and freight traffic. Due to their versatility, these rails are used in both urban and regional rail networks. Their design provides adequate stability and safety on routes with gentler curves, where train speeds are not extremely high.

Such rails are ideal for areas where a good balance between cost and rail strength is required.

On the other hand, normal-gauge welded rails up to 360 meters with a 60E1 profile are preferred in situations requiring higher load-carrying capacity and durability. Such rails are suitable for major railroads, including high-speed passenger routes and heavy freight lines. The 60E1 profile, with its higher weight and greater strength, is ideal for high-traffic and high-speed routes. In addition, its use is advantageous in extreme conditions, such as harsh climatic conditions and mountainous areas, where rail strength and stability are crucial to the safe and reliable operation of the rail network.

Tips for investors

• Evaluate technical specifications - check the exact parameters of the rails, including profile, weight per meter, material (such as R260 or R350HT steel) and quality standards.
• Analyze infrastructure requirements - determine whether the rails will be used on passenger lines, freight lines, or in special conditions such as high speeds or difficult terrain.
• Total cost analysis - consider not only the purchase price, but also transportation, installation and long-term maintenance costs.
• Logistics planning - consider the logistical aspects of transporting and delivering long stretches of rail.

Storage of normal gauge welded rails up to 360 m

Adequate storage of normal-gauge welded rails up to 360 m is key to maintaining their quality and functionality. Our recommendations:

• Maintain proper environmental conditions - store rails in a dry, clean place, away from aggressive chemicals or excessive moisture.
• Proper alignment - rails should be stacked horizontally on stable supports, evenly spaced to avoid deformation.
• Provide easy access - arrange the rails in such a way as to allow easy access and inspection.
• Avoid mechanical damage - provide adequate protection from impacts or other factors that can cause damage.

Did you know

• The product having 360 meters is one of the longest rails available on the market, allowing more efficient construction of tracks with fewer joints.
• Such long rails allow the creation of long, uniform rail sections, significantly increasing their strength and reducing the risk of failure.
• Transporting long rails requires specialized logistics solutions, which presents engineering challenges.
• Longer rails reduce the number of joints, resulting in a smoother ride and less noise.
