Used Rails Scrap R50 R65

Description:
Our Used Rails Scrap R50 R65 consists of high-quality, recycled railway rails that are primarily sourced from decommissioned or replaced railway tracks. These rails are carefully inspected, cleaned, and sorted to ensure they meet international standards for use in various industrial applications. R50 and R65 are two of the most commonly used grades of rail scrap, with R50 typically used in light to medium-duty tracks and R65 in heavier-duty tracks. Both grades offer excellent strength and durability, making them ideal for metal recycling, steel manufacturing, and construction.

Used rails are highly valued for their recyclability, as they can be melted down and reused to produce new steel products. Our R50 and R65 used rail scrap is ideal for companies in the steel industry, foundries, and construction looking to access high-quality material for steel production, infrastructure projects, and manufacturing operations.

Key Features:

  • High-Quality Steel: Sourced from decommissioned railway tracks and rails, offering high-strength material with low contaminants.

  • Eco-Friendly: Contributes to a circular economy by reusing valuable steel resources and reducing environmental impact.

  • Global Demand: Used in a wide range of industries, including steel manufacturing, construction, and recycling.

  • Durable: R50 and R65 rails are known for their strength and longevity, making them ideal for industrial reprocessing.

  • Compliant with International Standards: Our used rail scrap meets all necessary regulatory and environmental standards for export and recycling.
