Steel making company Evraz has received compliance certificates from Russia’s Federal Railway Certification Register for the mass production of two new rail types.

EVRAZ said that samples of these rail types passed all the required tests both in its labs and at the All-Russia Railways’ Research and Development Institute and the tests have confirmed all claimed specifications of the new products.

"Getting two new rail types certified is another important step EVRAZ has made in reinforcing its market positions."

Both the rail types are produced at the company’s new rail and beam shop, which includes new head-hardening technology. They are available in lengths from 18m to 100m, depending on customer’s needs.

The company said that no comparable rails have ever been produced in Russia before.

The tests demonstrated that DT370 rails have up to 40% higher wear compared with standard rails.

EVRAZ vice-president and railway products division head Ilya Shirokobrod said: "Getting two new rail types certified is another important step EVRAZ has made in reinforcing its market positions."

With the certificates in place, the company can begin rail deliveries to commercial users, while the shop team is working on launching new types of rolled goods.
