Lightweight hybrid structures
Rail research is combining metals with composites to reduce carriage and running-gear mass while maintaining safety.
04JBI/Rail coach building
INDUSTRY ENGINEERING BRIEFRail coach building
Low mass. Long life. Repeatable fabrication.
Rail interiors and vehicle systems demand repeatable formed sections, corrosion resistance, appearance and fabrication consistency under vibration and long service lives.
WHAT JBI CAN PROVIDESPECIFIED TUBE.
SPECIFIED TUBE.
PURPOSEFUL SUPPLY.
- Round, square and rectangular structural tubes
- Polished architectural finishes
- Custom sections and cut lengths
- Tubes for sanitary and auxiliary systems
- Visual and dimensional inspection
JBI’s shaped and polished stainless-steel tubing can support rail interiors, handrails, sanitary modules and specified fabricated systems. Structural use requires drawing-level engineering approval.
