UIC 60 Rail

The UIC 60 rail, also known as the 60E1 rail, derives its designation “60” from its weight per meter of rail length, equivalent to 60 kilograms per meter. Manufactured from high-quality carbon-manganese steel, this rail is designed for high-traffic railway systems. Additionally, its widened base provides ample bearing area for sleepers or baseplates, significantly enhancing track stability and load distribution capabilities.

UIC60 Rail Material Composition

The 60E1 rail is crafted from high-strength steel grades (R200/R260/R260Mn/R350HT), ensuring exceptional wear resistance, fatigue strength, and full compliance with UIC/EN standards.

Applications of UIC 60 Rail

60E1 rails excel in diverse railway applications, combining high-strength materials and precision design to meet modern transportation demands. Their versatility and reliability make them a top choice for global engineers and infrastructure projects.

Mainline Railways

Specifically designed for high-speed passenger lines (e.g., 200+ km/h networks) and heavy freight corridors, where its robust structure withstands repeated high-impact loading from frequent trains, ensuring minimal track degradation over decades of use.

Industrial Railways

Proven in heavy-haul environments such as mining sites (hauling ore trains), ports (container logistics), and steel mills (transporting molten metal carriers), its wear-resistant R350HT material grade excels under extreme loads and harsh operational conditions.

Urban Transit Systems

Perfect for subway and tram networks in densely populated cities, its widened base and precise engineering reduce noise and vibration, enhancing passenger comfort while supporting the the high-frequency service demands of urban mobility.

Core Advantages of Our UIC60 Rail

Superior Material Quality

Made from high-carbon-manganese steel (R200-R350HT grades), offering exceptional resistance to wear, fatigue, and impact. Heat-treated for enhanced hardness (260–390 HBW) and tensile strength (≥1175 MPa).

Structural Stability

Widened base design ensures optimal load distribution, reducing stress on sleepers and ballast.Ideal for high-speed (up to 300 km/h) and heavy-axle-load operations.
