Our comprehensive range of rail sections and rail steels, combined with innovative material concepts and advanced HSH® heat treatment, ensures optimal performance and longevity for railway tracks across various applications and maintenance strategies.
Depending on the predominant damage mechanism, we define suitable areas of application for our rail grades. For lines at risk of head-checking, we offer the 340 Dobain® HSH® grade. In areas with increased wear and slip waves, we recommend our perlitic rail grade 400 UHC® HSH® (R400HT). Recent track experience shows that this rail strategy gives the longest service life and, due to reduced maintenance, the lowest life cycle costs.
Our 340 Dobain® HSH® rail grade employs a unique combination of Dobain® material concept and HSH® technology to effectively prevent the initiation of head checks. This groundbreaking approach tackles head check mechanisms at a physical level, ensuring a more durable and reliable track.
For areas with increased wear and slip waves, our 400 UHC HSH rail grade is the ideal choice. The UHC® steel design, coupled with HSH® technology, creates a microstructure that enhances resistance to wear, corrugation, and RCF. This translates to noise and vibration damping, superior profile stability, and exceptional running behavior.
