Tram Rails

The tram system, rapidly growing worldwide during the last years, offers traffic solutions and innovations. Grooved, Block & Vignole Rails.

Due to urban growth and the saturation that it originates, urban transport market is expanding rapidly throughout the world, demanding new requirements that request specific products; ArcelorMittal offers a wide portfolio of railway products for Tram and Light Rail Systems produced at our world-class manufacturing plants. Our process complies with most demanding European requirements according to EN 14811.

Low carbon vanadium grades for increased service life

ArcelorMittal offers a complete range of Low Carbon Vanadium (LCV) grades for grooved rails which provide better performance and increased service life for Light Rail Transit operators.

At ArcelorMittal, we are actively involved in designing new rail-based solutions that meet the needs and requirements of light rail transit (LRT) operators with the support of our ArcelorMittal Global R&D rail unit. Thanks to pilot plants and prototyping facilities, new products and rail mill processes can be developed, as well as monitor on-track real performance, wear behavior to fatigue, and weldability.

Low Carbon Vanadium (LCV) for better performance, why?

  • Able to perform gauge corner restoration.
  • Easy maintenance.
  • Welding according EN 16771.
  • Increased wear resistance.
  • Increased fracture toughness.
  • Low brittleness.
