Abrasive solutions for the Rail market

cutting rail

As rail track technology continually evolves and makes major advances, the requirement for abrasives in maintenance and repair operations is continually increasing, with the steel being used in the manufacture of rail track being purer and harder than ever in order to cope with increasing axel weight and total tonnage of new rail services.

 


Heat treatment, combined with high levels of carbon, manganese and silicon used in manufacturing make cutting and grinding operations increasingly tough.
