UIC54 RAIL (54E1)
Product Overview
The UIC54 rail, also called 54E1, is a standard railway track profile defined by the International Union of Railways (UIC). With a base width of 70 mm, height of 159 mm, and base width of 140 mm, the UIC54 rail profile is widely used in railway construction worldwide.
Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel, the UIC54 rail offers excellent strength, wear resistance, and bending performance. It is designed to withstand high-load train operations and adapt well to curved railway lines, making it ideal for high-speed and heavy-duty railway lines.

Features of UIC54 Rail
High strength
UIC54 rail is made of high-quality carbon steel material, which has high strength and can withstand high-load train operation, and is suitable for the construction of high-speed and heavy-duty railway lines.
Wear resistance
UIC54 rail has good steel quality, excellent processing technology, and high surface hardness, so its wear resistance is also very good, which can meet the requirements of the long-term high-speed operation of trains.
Excellent bending performance
UIC54 rail has good bending performance, can adapt to the bending curve of the railway line, and can maintain a good line geometry.
Applications of UIC54 Rail
Railway construction: UIC54 rails are widely used in the construction of railway lines, especially suitable for the construction of high-speed and heavy-duty lines.
Railway maintenance: UIC54 rails have a long service life and good wear resistance, so they are also widely used in railway maintenance and renewal work.
Railway reconstruction: In railway reconstruction projects, UIC54 rail is also a commonly used rail specification, which can adapt to different needs of railway lines and meet the requirements of reconstruction projects.
