Railway Applications-Track-Switches and Crossings-Crossing Components Made of Cast Austenitic Manganese Steel
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 15689 standard focuses on establishing material requirements for cast austenitic manganese steel used in fixed crossings and cradles for crossings with moveable parts. These components are intended to be welded or bolted to rails.
The standard also provides codes of practice for inspecting and testing both unmachined and machined heat-treated castings. It outlines methods for identifying and tracing crossings and sets limits for weld rectification by the supplier. Furthermore, the standard includes special requirements for pre-hardened crossings.
It should be noted that certain aspects like machining tolerances and inspection of finished crossings are covered in a separate standard, EN 13232-6 & -7, and are not included in DIN EN 15689. Additionally, the standard acknowledges that special applications, such as tram systems, may have specific demands that need to be mutually agreed upon between the customer and the supplier.
