Mechel OAO reports that independent lab tests of rails (of type R65 category DT350) produced at Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant confirmed their high quality and compliance with the most exacting international standards.
For the next stage of testing after lab tests, the rails were laid onto the experimental railroad ring that is used to test rails in real-life conditions over the next 6-7 months.
Currently, Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant’s universal rolling mill has mastered production of two types of rails — R50 and R65. Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant has already signed several contracts with major Russian companies for rail supplies.
