Technical Parameters
Railway Steel Rail Basic Technical Specifications
| Category | Specification | Details / Value |
|---|---|---|
| Product Name | Railway Steel Rail | |
| Primary Function | To provide a continuous, stable, and wear-resistant guiding surface for train wheels, supporting and distributing the enormous loads from rolling stock. | |
| Profile Design | Sections | Comprises three main parts: Head (wear-resistant), Web (load-bearing), and Foot (stability and fastening). |
| Design Standard | Profile geometry strictly follows international standards (e.g., UIC, AREMA, BS, GB/T) to ensure wheel-rail compatibility. | |
| Grade & Material | Standard Grades | 700/900/1100A (e.g., U71Mn, U75V, U20Mn). The number indicates the minimum tensile strength in MPa. |
| Material | High-carbon manganese steel or carbon steel, often micro-alloyed with Vanadium (V) or Chromium (Cr) for enhanced properties. |

Performance, Manufacturing & Application
| Category | Specification | Details / Value |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical Performance | Tensile Strength | 700 MPa - 1300 MPa, depending on the grade and heat treatment. |
| Yield Strength | ≥ 400 MPa (Standard) to ≥ 700 MPa (High-strength). | |
| Elongation | ≥ 10% (ensures sufficient toughness and ductility). | |
| Impact Toughness | Charpy V-notch impact value ≥ 20J (at -40°C to -20°C, for low-temperature toughness). | |
| Manufacturing Process | Primary | Converters or Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking → Continuous casting → Universal mill rolling → Online heat treatment. |
| Key Process | Head Hardening (Quenching & Tempering) used for premium rails to increase surface hardness and wear resistance. | |
| Surface Quality | Requirement | Surface must be free of cracks, scars, folds, and other defects that could become fatigue initiation points. |
