ntroduction You will find detailed information on JFE's railroad rails in this catalog, including technical and dimensional data. This information should help you select the rails best suited to your specific needs. JFE Rails are produced in the shape mill at our West Japan Works. Their high quality reflects the superior manufacturing processes and quality control systems that we have developed during more than a hundred years of steelmaking. The rails' super-clean materials are produced with a combination of desulfurizing, degassing and continuous casting processes for improving contact fatigue properties. And their quality is assured by the rigorous controls of UST, ECT and other systems. Along with the super-clean standard carbon rails, our head-hardened rails, JFE-SP and JFE-THH, which are produced by our advanced on-line heat treatment technologies, enjoy favorable reception from worldwide heavy-haul customers. JFE rail manufacturing meets the specifications of JIS, AREMA, EN, UIC, AS, IRS and other internationally recognized standards. We hope this information is helpful, and we look forward to serving you. 2 3

Head Hardened Rails (JFE-SP4, SP3, SP2, SPA, THH370N, THH370A, THH370, THH340 and IH) Designed for heavy haul railways and passenger railways, JFE head hardened rails have been developed by super clean steel making, optimal chemical composition and our advanced on-line heat treatment technologies that deliver still higher economics. Features 1 2 3 4 Uniform, thicker head hardened layer. Our advanced on-line heat-treatment technologies make the head-hardened region of JFE head hardened rails. Outstanding wear-resistance. Optimal alloy designing and advanced heat-treatment technologies bring about the outstanding wear-resistance of JFE head hardened rails. Excellent weld-ability. JFE head hardened rails have excellent weld-ability in flash-butt and thermite welding. Consistent quality. JFE head hardened rails offer consistent quality accomplished by our super-clean steelmaking technology, advanced on-line heat-treatment technique and rigorous inspection systems. 5 Extremely economy. The excellent resistance to wear and rolling contact fatigue damage of JFE head hardened rails will greatly contribute to reduce the cost of maintenance and replace. 14
