Steel Rail Main Function

Function Technical Description Key Features/Examples
Load Bearing Supports vertical loads (static + dynamic) from trains and distributes to subgrade - Heavy-haul rails (e.g., 75kg/m) handle 30+ ton axle loads
Guidance Wheel flanges interact with rail inner surfaces to maintain direction - High-speed tracks maintain ±1mm gauge tolerance at 350km/h
Smooth Ride Minimizes vibrations and noise through continuous welded rails (CWR) - CWR reduces noise by ~10dB vs. jointed rails
Track Switching Turnouts enable route changes with movable components - High-speed turnouts (e.g., 60kg/m-18#) allow 160km/h diverging speeds
