LINMAG Rail Milling Service

Rail milling is a very cost effective and economic alternative to re-railing. Rail milling will help to get rid of dangerous rail defects such as head checks and squats (rolling contact fatigue - RCF). The rail profile is fully restored (+/- 0,1mm). Lowest surface roughness is achieved in the contact band between wheel and rail. This leads to noise emission decrease in train operation. Milling is very clean and all materials are collected. Milling is a gentle material treatment and keeps the metallurgical structure of the rail steel untouched (no blueing, all heat is transferred to the removed chips). It can be used also in switches, crossings and especially in tunnels as it is free of dust. Rail lifetime is extended and rail Life Cycle Costs (LCC) are decreased. LINMAG is a worldwide provider of high quality rail maintenance services. LINMAG offers an extremely fast rail head reprofiling service for new or worn rail. The resulting long stretches of refurbished track are as good as new, or even better.
