As a lifeline for mass transportation, Railways have to continually innovate and steel play a pivotal role in providing choice for heavy haul applications by meeting the demanding conditions of the mass transit and freight networks in becoming faster and further. Head hardened rail offers greater efficiencies through the potential to handle higher axle loads with low deformation and wear. These rails are commonly found in tracks where higher acceleration and deceleration are inevitable. Jspl pioneered in setting up online head hardened rails facility with technical consultation with germany and, Sms meer successfully commissioned its head hardening facility in may 2016. The head hardened process would include tilting of rails after tandem mill, Induction heating as required and quenching through selective cooling technology through water. These would have higher resistance to wear and composed of possible with greater hardness of rail head, Which acts as the upper a component of a rail and supports the wheels of railroad cars.
