Steel Rails For Compact Railways

Steel Rails For Compact Railways

Steel rail, also called rail track, steel track,is the main component of railway track. Its function is to guide the wheels of the locomotive, bear the great pressure of the wheel, and keep the stability of railway transportation. The rail must provide continuous, smooth and minimum rolling surfaces for the wheels. In electrified railway or automatic block section, rail can also be used as an orbital circuit.

Description
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.
