Description
Used Rail Scrap (R65) consists of decommissioned railway tracks made from high-grade carbon steel, originally designed to withstand heavy loads and intense pressure in railway systems. The R65 specification refers to rails weighing 65 kilograms per meter, offering superior strength and durability compared to lighter rail types. These used rails, sourced from Germany, are carefully inspected to ensure they are free from major structural defects like deep rust, cracks, or bends, making them ideal for recycling and reprocessing. Known for Germany's strict quality control and environmental standards, this scrap offers excellent value for steel manufacturing and industrial applications.
Application:
Used Rail Scrap (R65) is widely utilized in industries that require dense, high-strength steel, making it a valuable material for various heavy-duty applications:
- Steel Production: A primary raw material for steel mills and foundries for manufacturing new steel products.
- Construction Industry: Recycled into beams, columns, rebar, and structural components for large-scale infrastructure projects.
- Shipbuilding & Heavy Machinery: Reprocessed into durable parts for ships, industrial equipment, and containers.
- Automotive Industry: Used in fabricating robust vehicle parts, machinery components, and frames.
- Metal Fabrication: Ideal for producing tools, pipes, plates, and other heavy-duty metal products.
- Recycling Industry: Contributes to eco-friendly practices by reducing reliance on virgin raw materials and minimizing carbon emissions.
- Infrastructure Development: Suitable for bridges, tunnels, railroads, and other heavy civil engineering projects due to its density and durability.
