Our advanced on-line heat-treatment technologies make the head-hardened region of JFESP and JFE-THH rail thick and uniform.
Optimal alloy designing and processing bring about the outstanding wear-resistance of
JFE-SP and JFE-THH rail.
JFE-SP and JFE-THH have excellent weldability in flash-butt and Thermite welding.
JFE-SP and JFE-THH rails offer consistent quality accomplished by our super-clean
steelmaking technology, advanced on-line heat-treatment technique and rigorous
inspection system.
The excellent resistance to wear and rolling contact fatigue damage of JFE-SP and JFETHH rails will greatly contribute to reduce the cost of maintenance and replace.

The rail samples obtained at the rate of one from each steel
heat shall tested for electric resistance in the manner set
forth in the annex "Method of Determining the Electric
Resistance of Current Transmission Rails". If the requirements
of paragraph 2.2 have been satisfied in the test, all rails
manufactured from the said heat shall be accepted.
