VARIO 1800

VARIO 1800 Age-hardened Built-up Crossing

Advantages

  • The ultra high-tensile maraging steel W720 is used for this crossing. VAE has developed a technology, which allows W720 high-alloy steel to be used in an electron-beam welded built-up version.
  • This guarantees an excellent price-performance ratio.
