Rails are a separate group of rolled metal, to which special requirements are imposed. These products are in the form of a reinforced beam and are used in the installation of railway tracks. This type of rolled products is designed for significant loads, which places high demands on the composition of the metal and the quality of workmanship. The UTMK company sells all types of rails, and it will not be difficult to choose the necessary parameters for rolling. These products are designed to move heavy loads along them and have a huge operational resource.
Production and purpose of rails
At the basis of the railway track, special rolled products are used that can withstand the loads created by the rolling stock. Such products are made of high carbon steel and can be up to 25 meters long. To obtain rails, metal ingots are rolled on a special mill and cut into pieces of the desired length. The marking on these products is applied directly during the molding process and includes not only a numeric and alphabetic code, but also the year of manufacture.
The range of rail products has dozens of names, which depends on the purpose of such products. This rolled metal is used for laying tracks with high operational loads. The UTMK company offers to buy rails for the following purposes:
- for railway transport - the most demanded rolled products with high requirements for the quality of rails;
- for the movement of narrow-gauge transport - used for laying tracks, in places with a limited working area;
- for crane tracks - rails designed to move goods with special lifting mechanisms;
- mining rail - used to move trolleys used in metallurgy and mining;
- tram - general purpose rails, in demand for vehicles involved in the transport of people.
Rails for rolling stock
Among the range of rolled rail products, products for laying railway gauges of standard dimensions are most in demand. Such products are marked with the code R-43, R-50 and R-65. Rail-mounted cranes are often used to carry out construction work. To create such tracks, rolled products with the marking KR-70, KR-80 or KR-100 and KR-140 are suitable. This product complies with the requirements of GOST 8161-75, as well as ISCR and BS11 standards.
The appearance of the rail resembles the shape of a beam, but has a smoother outline. This design allows you to evenly distribute the weight of the rolling stock and withstand significant shock loads. Depending on the purpose, such products are available with or without bolt holes. According to the method of additional processing, rails can be heat-strengthened (T) and non-heat-strengthened (H). Such a variety of characteristics allows you to choose a rental that fully meets the requirements of the customer.
