Material Properties
Key Benefits & Design Intent
Typical Applications
On-street tramway tracks where the rail top must be flush with pavement.
Junctions and turnouts in urban environments.
Tight-radius sections and gutters where the grooved head keeps the running surface continuous with the roadway.
Welding, installation & maintenance notes
Welding: compatible with standard field repair methods (aluminothermic/thermite welding) and with specialist surfacing techniques for high-wear heads. Use qualified procedures that account for the grooved geometry.
Fastening & bedding: embedded rails require careful coordination of groove fillers, drainage and bedding material to avoid water trapping and to limit differential settlement.
Inspection & reprofiling: periodic grinding or surfacing extends life; choice of steel grade strongly affects reprofiling frequency.
