Rail coating is a process used to protect the rail from corrosion and wear. It is a critical part of the rail infrastructure, as it helps to ensure the longevity of the rail and its components. Rail coating is typically applied to the rail head, web, and flange, and is designed to protect the rail from the elements, as well as from the wear and tear of daily use. The coating also helps to reduce noise and vibration, and can improve the overall performance of the rail. Rail coating is typically applied using a variety of methods, including electroplating, thermal spraying, and painting. The type of coating used depends on the application and the environment in which the rail is used. For example, in areas with high humidity, a more durable coating may be required. There are a number of companies that specialize in rail coating, including AkzoNobel, PPG Industries, Sherwin-Williams, and Axalta Coating Systems. These companies provide a range of products and services, including coating application, maintenance, and repair. Show Less Read more
