Cast Manganese Crossings
Section of the patented intermediate piece welding
AMS high-manganese steel is characterized by its excellent strength and therefore is best suited for use as the basic material for crossings. This steel with approx. 13% manganese content develops an exceptionally wear-resistant surface during operation and for this reason is suitable for highest axle loads. The castings are manufactured at the foundries of the VAE affiliates JEZ.
The patented flash-butt welding process of VAE permits the connection of AMS with normal rail steel and thus it can be welded into the CWR track.
