Rail Spring& Pressings Materials

Rail industry springs and pressings are engineered for durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable heavy-load performance, resulting in longer service life and reduced maintenance costs. 

Steel springs are widely used in rail suspension systems for their wear resistance, low maintenance, and cost efficiency. Alloying steel with high silicon content increases strength and hardness, making it ideal for supporting railway carriage weight. 

For applications requiring electrical conductivity, we supply beryllium copper springs and pressings. Aluminium pressings are also available for projects needing lightweight yet strong materials. 

Our engineers can recommend the most suitable materials and spring types to meet your environmental and operational requirements.
