High Tensile Steel Plates for Railway Components
What Are Railway-Grade High Tensile Plates?
Railway-grade high tensile steel plates are engineered to offer superior strength-to-weight ratio, fatigue resistance, and durability in coach and wagon manufacturing. Hindustan Steel Corporation supplies plates suitable for Indian Railways applications, meeting RDSO and IRIS standards for structural safety and weight efficiency.
We supply IS 2062 E350/E450, S355J2+N, and custom EN-grade plates for use in locomotive platforms, bogie frames, coach sidewalls, and wagon understructures.
Our high tensile plates are used in:
These steel plates ensure safety under dynamic stress, impact loads, and high-speed motion.
Railway steels must handle dynamic fatigue, welding operations, and structural stresses. Typical values:
| Grade | Yield Strength | Elongation | Impact Toughness |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS 2062 E450 | 450 MPa | 19% | 27J @ -20°C |
| S355J2+N | 355 MPa | 22% | 27J @ -20°C |
| RDSO-Approved | ≥350 MPa | 20% | As per spec |
These ensure lightweight yet impact-resistant railway frames and safer passenger movement.
Low carbon and fine grain metallurgy are key for rail components:
| Element | % Max |
|---|---|
| Carbon | 0.20 |
| Mn | 1.5 |
| Si | 0.50 |
| S, P | 0.025 |
| Cu, Al | Micro additions for corrosion/weld improvement |
Plates are weldable, bendable, and compatible with coach fabrication techniques.
Our railway-grade plates comply with:
We offer:
