Metals for Railway: Rail, Rolling Stock and Infrastructure

Metals for Railway: Rail, Rolling Stock and Infrastructure

Short answer: Railways use head-hardened rail steel for track, S355 and S460 structurals for rolling stock and stainless for trackside hardware, so material choices target fatigue and corrosion life; our Construction Guide 그리고 Fatigue Guide give the supporting detail.

At a Glance

Track and Rail

Rails use Steel Section Supplier head-hardened grades, with strength data in our 강도 비교 and fatigue in our Fatigue Guide.

Rolling Stock

Bodies use Steel Plate Supplier S355 / S460 and bogies use cast steel, with welding in our Welding Guide; a quick spec summary is below.

Part 등급 Need
Rail R260 / 350L Wear life
Body S355 / S460 Light weight
Trackside 304 stainless 부식

Corrosion and Inspection

Coastal lines use Corrosion Resistance Guide practice and NDT in our Quality Inspection Guide.

Procurement Tips

Specify EN rails and traceability per our Mill Test Certificate Guide 그리고 Export Packing Guide.

자주 묻는 질문

Which steel for rail?

Head-hardened R260 or 350L for wear and fatigue life.

What structurals for trains?

S355 and S460 plate and sections for light, stiff bodies.

Why stainless trackside?

For corrosion resistance with low maintenance.

How is railway steel certified?

EN standards with full material traceability.

Is fatigue a concern?

Yes – rail and wheels are fatigue-critical parts.
