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.
