GOST P65 thermally hardened steel rail as EN13674-1 standard is widely used due to its excellent performance. Nowadays, with the development of globalized trade, production standards from different countries are gradually integrating, and EN13674-1 has become a widely recognized steel rail production standard internationally. In this article, we will discuss how to produce GOST P65 steel rail with a hardness of R350HT according to the EN13674-1 standard and ensure that the products can be smoothly exported to Georgia.
GOST P65 thermally hardened steel rail as EN13674-1 standard
1、 Understand EN13674-1 standard
The EN13674-1 standard was developed by the European Committee for Standardization and covers the manufacturing and acceptance conditions of steel rails. This standard has strict requirements for the chemical composition, mechanical properties, size, appearance, and defects of steel rails. When producing GOST P65 steel rail, it is necessary to ensure that the product meets the hardness level R350HT specified in EN13674-1 standard. This means that the rails need to undergo a special heat treatment process to achieve higher hardness and wear resistance.
2、 Characteristics of GOST P65 steel rail
GOST P65 steel rail is known for their high quality and durability, and are typically used on railway lines to withstand heavy loads. The main characteristics of this type of steel rail include its specific weight, cross-sectional shape, and size. In order to meet the EN13674-1 standard, the hardness level of the steel rail must reach R350HT, indicating that the steel rail has higher strength and bending resistance.
3、 Production process
The process of producing high hardness R350HT GOST P65 steel rail involves multiple steps, including raw material selection, melting, continuous casting, rolling, heat treatment, and final inspection. In each step, the requirements of EN13674-1 standard must be strictly followed.
4、 Quality control
GOST P65 thermally hardened steel rail as EN13674-1 standard with three bolt holes on both sides, 25 meters long; Must be manufactured in accordance with the valid EN 13674-1-2011+A1-2017 (or valid equivalent) standard.
Rail category: ДТ350 or R350HT.
Rail profile: R-65 type, based on the attached drawing;
Purpose: general purpose;
Steel melting method: converter (K) or electric furnace (Э) melting method;
Thermal treatment: thermally hardened, subjected to differential hardening over the entire section of the rail (ДТ);
Strength class (minimum hardness): 350 (thermally hardened).
5、 Export to Georgia
For the Georgian market, when exporting GOST P65 steel rail, in addition to complying with the EN13674-1 standard, it is also necessary to comply with the country’s import regulations and standards. The manufacturer shall provide all necessary certification documents and ensure the smooth logistics process to ensure the safe and timely arrival of the steel rails at the destination.
