Typical applications
Ultra heavy-haul mainlines (ore & bulk freight)
Port & terminal tracks with concentrated loading and frequent shunting
Mining & industrial haulage lines
In-plant crane rails & runways (specify head hardening / HT if used for crane duty).
Materials, grades & quality assurance
Typical steel grades offered by mills: standard AREMA grades and higher-grade / head-hardened options (specify grade in RFQ).
Each shipment includes Material Test Certificate (MTC) with chemical composition and mechanical tests; NDT and third-party inspection available on request.
Engineering & compatibility notes
Do not assume interchangeability. Even within AREMA families geometry differences (head radii, head centre width, straight segments) alter wheel–rail contact, turnout fit and joint behaviour — always run a CAD overlay before acceptance.
Jointing & transitions: use matched joint bars or approved transition rails (joint-bar lengths and bolt patterns vary by rail family).
Welding / thermite work: declare head-hardened or HT rails in RFQ — welding & post-weld testing procedures differ for HT rails.
FAQs
Q: Can you drill to my joint pattern and supply joint bars?
A:Yes — drilling to drawing and matched joint bars are standard options; include drawings with RFQ.
Q: What documents come with delivery?
A:Profile drawing (PDF/DXF) + Material Test Certificate (MTC); additional NDT/third-party reports on request.
