Tata Steel has announced it will invest more than €12 million (£10m) in new technology so it can produce longer wear-resistant rails at its French steel mill. The new technology will enable Tata Steel to heat treat rails of up to 108 m in length at its Hayange facility in the Lorraine region of north-east France. Heat-treated rail can last up to three times longer than standard rail when used in high wear conditions such as heavy traffic, high axle loads or tight curves.
