Applications

High-Speed Passenger Railways
Deployed in regional express networks (e.g., 160–200 km/h lines) where R260’s balanced hardness ensures smooth rides and reduced noise emissions.
Used in feeder lines for high-speed trains (e.g., connecting stations to main TGV/ICE corridors), with R300HT grades supporting higher axle loads from modern EMUs.
Heavy-Haul Freight Networks
Ideal for bulk cargo transport (coal, ore, grain) on long-distance corridors (e.g., iron ore lines), where R260Mn’s abrasion resistance extends rail life by 20% in abrasive conditions.
Supports double-stacked container trains in North America, meeting AAR M-101 requirements.
Mining & Quarry Systems
Engineered for underground mine railways (e.g., copper mines, coal mines), resisting deformation from uneven track beds and abrasive ore cart wheels.
R260Mn grade preferred for surface quarry rails, where constant loading/unloading of gravel/stone demands enhanced impact resistance.
Port & Intermodal Terminals
Critical for container gantry cranes (40+ ton loads) in hubs, with galvanized UIC54 rails resisting saltwater corrosion and repetitive stress from automated stacking systems.
Used in AGV (automated guided vehicle) rails for seamless integration with warehouse logistics, ensuring precision movement of heavy cargo.
Industrial Heavy-Duty Applications
Installed in steel mill hot zones for molten metal transport, with R300HT 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.
