50E1 Rail
Product Overview
50E1 railway rail is a premium-grade heavy rail engineered to meet the rigorous demands of European mainline railways, heavy-haul freight networks, and industrial heavy-duty systems. Compliant with EN 13674-1 standards, this rail is manufactured from advanced pearlitic steel grades (R260, R350HT) to deliver exceptional wear resistance, fatigue strength, and dynamic load capacity.
Key Features
Dimensions:
Weight: 50.37 kg/m(111.05lb/yd)
Head Width: 65 mm | Rail Height: 153 mm | Base Width: 134 mm | Web Thickness: 15.5 mm
Length: customized from 5m to 25m.
Material & Mechanical Properties
Standards:EN 13674-1 (rail geometry), ISO 9001:2015 (quality management).
Steel Grades:
R260 (260–300 HBW, ≥880 MPa tensile strength): Standard for mainline freight (axle loads up to 25 tons) and regional passenger lines.
R300HT (heat-treated, 300–340 HBW, ≥1080 MPa tensile strength): For ultra-heavy haul (30+ ton axles) and high-speed (≥200 km/h) applications.
Customization Services
Rail Processing: Pre-drilled bolt patterns (M24–M30), stress-relieved end machining, and mill-certified weld preparation.
Accessories:
Rail clips
Fish Plates & bolts for secure 50E1 rail joints.
Rail Pads: 5–15 mm thickness for vibration damping in passenger lines.
Applications
Heavy-Haul Freight Networks
Ideal for bulk cargo transport (coal, ore, grain) on long-distance corridors, where R350HT’s ultra-high strength resists deformation from 30+ ton axle loads .
Supports double-stacked container trains in North America, meeting AAR M-101 requirements for 28.6-ton axle loads .
Industrial Heavy-Duty Applications
Installed in steel mill hot zones (up to 400°C) for molten metal transport, with R350HT steel maintaining structural integrity under thermal cycling.
Forms the backbone of heavy machinery assembly lines (e.g., construction equipment factories), supporting 30+ ton modular component transport .
