About AUSENIST Australian Standard Rail (AS 1085.1)

The Australian rail standard AS 1085.1 is formally designated as 《Railway Track Material Part 1:Steel Rails》and is developed and maintained by the Standards Australia Committee, the authoritative body for national standards in Australia. The AS 1085.1-2002 edition of this standard originally indexed five core rail profiles: 31 kg/m, 41 kg/m, 50 kg/m, 60 kg/m, and 68 kg/m, forming the foundation of Australia's railway track infrastructure.

For heavy rail profiles of 50 kg/m and above, AS 1085.1 specifies stringent material requirements including one chemical composition formula and two distinct strength grades to ensure optimal performance under Australia's unique operational conditions. The first grade is hot-rolled rail with a minimum tensile strength of 880 MPa and a minimum hardness of 260 HB, suitable for general railway applications. The second grade is heat-treated rail with enhanced performance characteristics, requiring a minimum tensile strength of 1,130 MPa and a minimum hardness of 340 HB for high-demand railway operations.

As a leading global supplier of railway track solutions, AUSENIST offers a comprehensive range of Australian Standard Rail products that fully comply with AS 1085.1 specifications. Our product portfolio covers the complete range of Australian rail profiles from 31kg/m to 89kg/m, all manufactured with 900A/1100 material grades to meet the exacting strength and hardness requirements specified in the Australian standard.

AUSENIST's Australian Standard Rail offering is complemented by our extensive inventory of international standard rails including Chinese (GB), American (ASTM/AREMA), European (EN/DIN), British (BS), Indian (ISCR), Japanese (JIS), and South African (ISCOR) standards, making us a one-stop solution provider for global railway infrastructure projects across Australia and international markets.
