Webinar: New Signal Wire Attachment Method to Reduce Rail Cracking and Improve Safety
Join Seth Shira, Applications Engineer, for a special webinar introducing EWI’s new friction welding method designed and fabricated for use on RE136 rail. Developed with support from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the unique solid-state technique offers benefits including:
- Lower impact on rail – No formation of martensite in the weld or heat-affected zone of the rail
- Flexible – Uses threaded studs that allow for detachment and reattachment of signal wires from the rail for maintenance-of-way operations
- Stronger – Provides twist-off strengths and conductivity that exceed other common industry techniques
- Cordless – Battery powered and requires no tether to a truck
The webinar will be offered on four dates: July 8, 9, 14, and 16. (Material covered will be the same in each webinar session.) To register for a specific session, click the date of your choice below.
