The DT350VS400 rails are an exclusive development of EVRAZ ZSMK. Their operation is possible at speeds up to 400 km/h. Due to the special steel composition, they retain their quality characteristics even at low temperatures – up to minus 60 degrees.
The creation of unique, innovative products is the result of painstaking and comprehensive work with our customers and partners, said Sergey Sintsov, Vice President of EVRAZ, Head of the Sales and Business Development Division.
"So, together with Russian Railways and relevant institutes, we are monitoring the operation of rails, identifying their strengths and development areas. This allows us to create products for specific projects, and the Moscow–Saint Petersburg high-speed railway is certainly one of the most important projects for the transport industry and the country as a whole."The creation of the DT350VS400 rails is the result of deep calculations of the interaction of track and rolling stock. Our rails are distinguished by their high straightness and profile accuracy, which guarantees their operation at high speeds, added Alexey Bortz, Director of Rail Rolling Development at EVRAZ.
