Thermite welding

Thermite welding is a technique used to weld rail tracks together at an extremely high temperature (almost 3000°C) using thermite, a mixture of iron oxide and aluminum powder. The residue of the thermite, which mainly consists of liquid iron, is mixed with the iron of the rail tracks at a high temperature through a mold attached to the rail tracks to be welded together.

Processes: SKS, SKV, SOW5

Arc welding

Arc welding is a welding method in which a butt joint is created using special electrodes with increased liquid slag and reduced slag volume.

Build-up welding / repair welding

Repairing rail tracks after wear, breakage, or impact damage has occurred, for example at slip sites.

Adhesive welding

Electrically isolated bonded welding. Two types can be distinguished:

  1. Prefabricated insulated bonded welding that is assembled and bonded in the factory, also known as prefab.
  2. The same prefabricated insulated bonded welding, supplied as a package, which can be assembled and bonded in the workshop, on site or on track.
