Chinese Standard Rails are widely used in railway infrastructure, metro systems, industrial railways, and heavy freight transportation networks. Manufactured according to Chinese GB railway standards, these rails are designed to provide high strength, durability, and long service life for modern rail systems.

Chinese standard rails are exported worldwide and are commonly used in railway construction projects across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America due to their reliable quality and competitive pricing.

As a professional railway material supplier, we provide a full range of Chinese standard railway rails, supporting large-scale railway construction projects and international infrastructure development.

 

Chinese standard rails refer to railway rails manufactured according to China’s national railway standards (GB standards). These rails are designed to meet strict technical requirements for rail geometry, mechanical properties, and load-bearing capacity.

They are commonly used in:

• National railway lines

• High-speed railways

• Metro systems

• Mining railways

• Industrial transportation tracks

Chinese rail standards are recognized internationally and are widely used in global railway engineering projects.

Rail Steel Grades

Chinese standard rails are produced using high-quality rail steels to meet different railway operating conditions.

Common steel grades include:

• U71Mn

• U75V

• U78CrV

• U20Mn

These materials offer excellent wear resistance, fatigue strength, and impact toughness, ensuring long-term railway stability.

HOW TO JUDGE A REAL FACTORY/MANJUFACTURER ?

1）Ask for the photo of the product with brand tag of the factory, see if the name of the trade mark is conformed with the name of the company. Such as brand tag shows YONGYANG STEEL, is related with our company name HANDAN YONGYANG IMPORT AND EXPORT CO.,LTD.
2) See the video of the factory，if the name in the video is conformed with the name of the company you are dealing with.
3) From the Google map, look for the location of the factory, you can get the real satellite image of the factory.
4) Ask for free samples with the factory brand tag with it. Trading companies are unwilling to sent samples because they have to buy samples from the factory themselves，on the other hand the factory are most willingly to send free samples on condition that you pay the delivery fee on receiving samples.
5) If possible, ask your friends in China to investigate this company, or even visit the factory
