Railway Tracks
Railway Tracks can be Metal Sprayed for Anti-Corrosion protection.
Corrosive environments can reduce rail life vastly, with unprotected rail, lifetimes of less than six months are being reported in some instances. Whilst loss of rail sections (due to corrosion) can occur generally or in more localised areas (e.g. around rail fastenings), it is also important to note that foot fatigue failures often occurs as a result of foot corrosion. Corrosion pits (often unseen) on the bottom of the rail can initiate fatigue cracks which can then grow undetected, resulting in rail failure 1.
British Steel, the UK-based manufacturer of premium steel products, has launched a revolutionary new rail product, which can withstand the rigours of being laid in some of the most corrosive of environment 2.
