supplied to Aktobe Rail and Section Works LLP (ARBZ), Kazakhstan. The new rolling mill was installed
in the town of Aktobe under the auspices of Kazakhstan Temir Zholy JSC, the national railway company,
and is the first and only rail manufacturing plant in Kazakhstan. In order to produce rails with a high
contact fatigue and wearing resistance, the rolling mill was equipped with the Injector Dual-phase Rail
Hardening (Idrha+) system. This system is the most advanced technology available for inline hardening
of heavy-duty rails with lengths up to 120 m. The rails produced are pre-certified per GOST standard and,
beside saturating the domestic market, are exported to the Russian Federation and CIS countries
