Aluminum For Railway
Aluminum Profiles for Railway Tracks & Bodies
Get high-strength, lightweight aluminum profile systems for railway car bodies, tracks, and platforms. These profiles resist corrosion and are perfect for high-load railway projects. At Conglin, we support OEM extrusion, offering precision machining and custom designs.
Why Conglin Profile for Railways
Our clients select Conglin’s aluminum profiles for railway projects because of these reasons
- They are durable and lightweight, designed for high-speed rail.
- These profiles cut train weight by up to 40% compared to steel (you get real efficiency).
- Our profiles resist corrosion by providing anodized or powder-coated solutions that work effectively for coastal or humid environments.
- They have a modern look (sleek lines and custom colors) and are compatible with panels and modules.
- They meet Rail Code requirements, including load and fatigue standards.
These aluminum profiles are specifically designed for use in trains. Their applications include freight cars and stations. You can use them for:
Inter-Car & Gangway Systems
Gangways are used to connect adjacent train cars and allow safe passenger movement between coaches.
We supply aluminum gangway assembly parts featuring complex 3D bending and high dimensional accuracy.
Aluminum alloys: 6061 / 6063 (T4 condition)
Critical operation: precision bending
5-axis 3D bending capability
Bending radius range: R70 mm – R700 mm
