AREMA RAIL
AREMA Rail refers to steel rail that meets the standards of the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association (AREMA). These standards are widely applied in North America to ensure good interchangeability, safety and durability of railroad track systems.
AREMA standard rails have high strength, good wear resistance and strict dimensional control. They are typically used for heavy-duty, mainline and high-speed railroads. Commonly used models include 115RE, 132RE and 136RE, which are typically manufactured from high-strength carbon-manganese steels such as U71Mn or 900A. Due to its stringent specifications and reliable performance, AREMA Rail is a core component of North America’s railroad infrastructure.
