This category contains a large list of vendors offering steel rails and will be of interest for the companies dealing with rail transport. Steel rails are rolled profiled products. They are mainly used for the movement of metro, trams, locomotives, trains, mine vehicles, and cranes.
Steel rails are rolled only from steel ingots or continuous-cast billets. They are made of open-hearth high carbon steel to obtain great wear resistance and durability. Steel rails are hermetically processed over the entire length by bulk oil hardening with subsequent furnace tempering. The high percentage of carbon as well as the presence of manganese and silicon in steel alloy increase the strength, hardness, and wear resistance of rails.
The largest manufacturer of steel rails is China. Also among the leaders, you can find Japan, Russia, India, EU countries, the USA, and Ukraine.
On the platform, predominantly Chinese, as well as German and Ukrainian suppliers, offer steel rails of various types at an average price of $500-1000 per ton depending on the chemical composition of steel alloy, dimensions, and scope with the minimum order of 1-25 ton. The length of one rail is 6-12 meters, and the weight starts from 4 kg. Steel rails are supplied in bulk or bundles upon request.
