Russian mining and steel producing company Evraz Group has announced that it has completed ТSI (technical specification for interoperability) certification of its 60E1 and 60E2 rails. They are now cleared for use in both high-speed routes and general purpose railway tracks.
Issued by TUV Rheinland InterTraffic, the compliance certificate allows Evraz to start deliveries to Europe and other regions where these types of rails are in demand. Rails are produced at Evraz ZSMK, a Siberian steel division of Evraz Group, where the rolling mill can be flexibly adjusted to customer requirements to produce raw (R260) and head-hardened (R350HT) rails in lengths up to 100 meters.
60E1 and 60E2 rails can be used for jointed track, ribbon track and switches. 60E1 is the most widespread rail type in Europe, while 60E2 is used by Deutsche Bahn.
