PERLIT 1300
PERLIT 1300 Fine Pearlite Built-up Crossing
Advantages
- The running track and the wheel overrunning area are made from material with a fine pearlitic structure. This structure has a very high wear resistance in the case of rolling contact.
- The mechanical properties of the rail material are improved by a special heat treatment.
Technical characteristics: PERLIT 1300
| Tensile Strength | 1.200 – 1.300 N/mm² |
| Material grades: Point of the crossing | Rail steel, hardened in a special heat treatment process developed by VAE to above tensile strength (elongation min. 10%) |
| Closure rails Wing rails | Made from fine pearlitic, head-hardened rails |
| Bolting of the crossings | Either high-tensile bolting or with high-tensile double spring washers |
