Connecting the world of rail with all our welds
Connection. The vital link between two components. Approximately 7.097 km of railways are connected in the Dutch railway infrastructure to offer travelers a safe and reliable way to get to their destination. The connection of rails, however, cannot be done without welds. And rail welds cannot be done without certification in order to guarantee safety and the highest quality. We recently extended our Rail Services portfolio with the flash butt weld certificate for the 400 UHC® HSH® rail quality. From now on, the 400 UHC® HSH® rails can be supplied in ultra-long lengths of up to 360 meters. (Fun fact: UHC stands for the metallurgical steel design based on Ultra High Carbon content, and HSH describes a unique heat treatment technology, so-called Head Special Hardened.)
