Applications in the Rail Industry

Whether it is rail vehicles for freight and passenger transport, control and safety technology or rail infrastructure: in the rail industry safety and observing the highest quality standards are of elementary importance. As a result, the steel components installed need to fulfil the highest standards when it comes to surface protection.

Infrastructure

Worldwide, there are approximately 1.17 m km of railway networks, all of which needs to be maintained for long-term use. Damage results directly in the blocking of sections of the railway and therefore expensive disruptions to freight and passenger transport. As a result, components used to secure rail sections need to be provided with enduring, effective protection against corrosion, depending on where they are employed - for example salty air on the coast - as well as chemical and mechanical stress.

Rail Vehicles

From fasteners to retaining rings: countless components are fitted in rail vehicles. Effective surface coatings are required to protect these against corrosion in the long term and hinder optical limitations in the form of red rust. In addition, exterior areas in particular require the use of a coating system that offers a high level of protection against aggressive alkaline or acid cleaning agents such as those often use in the removal of graffiti.
