Rigid Bainite Frogs
With its frogs made of Bainite 1400 Plus, voestalpine Turnout Technology Germany has created a highly wear-resistant component for this highly stressed area of the turnout.
Material selection as a critical economic factor
In the case of long-lived capital goods such as railway infrastructure, competitiveness with other modes of transport depends on the provision and maintenance of a network infrastructure that is in line with market requirements and geared to profitability. This is especially true for turnouts, which are a particularly costly and safety-relevant component of this structure.
With Bainite 1400 Plus frogs, we have created a highly wear-resistant component for this highly stressed area of the switch. This more than doubles the service life at the same load.
