Rigid Frogs made of Bainite

Material choice as crucial economic factor

With long-lasting investment goods such as railway infrastructure, competitiveness against other carriers depends on providing and securing a market-driven and profitability-oriented network infrastructure. This particularly relates to turnouts that represent an especially cost-intensive and safety-relevant component of this structure.

With its frogs made of Bainite 1400 Plus, voestalpine BWG has created a highly wear-resistant component for this heavily loaded area of the turnout. This more than doubles the lifetime at the same load.
