About
Rail Steel Head Hardened 136RE is a specialized carbon steel alloy engineered for railway track construction, featuring enhanced surface hardness through heat treatment processes. This premium-grade rail steel undergoes controlled cooling and tempering to achieve superior wear resistance and fatigue strength in the rail head area where wheel contact occurs. Sourced from integrated steel mills specializing in railway infrastructure materials, it meets stringent AREMA and international railway standards for heavy-duty applications. The 136RE designation indicates its tensile strength rating and chemical composition optimized for high-traffic rail networks. Primary applications include mainline railways, freight corridors, and urban transit systems where durability is critical. Key properties include high carbon content, excellent work hardening characteristics, and resistance to rolling contact fatigue. Makers and railway contractors purchase this material for track construction, rail replacement projects, and specialty applications requiring superior metallurgical performance compared to standard carbon rail steel grades.
