DB Certified Aluminum Welding Wire

Advantages

• Guaranteed Market Access: Holding the DB certificate is a prerequisite for entry into the German and much of the Central European rail supply chain.

• Reduced Project Risk: Ensures materials are pre-qualified to meet the highest standards for passenger safety and dynamic loading.

• Quality Assurance: Certification provides objective proof of the consistency and performance of the filler metal batch after batch.

• Traceability: Full documentation is provided to support the critical material tracking required by railway projects.

FAQ

• Q: What is the most common filler metal classification for DB-certified rail welding?
• A: High-Magnesium alloys, particularly ER5183 and ER5087, are most common because they provide the necessary strength and fatigue resistance for aluminum railcar bodies, often meeting the HL1/HL2 classification.

• Q: Does DB certification automatically cover EN 15085?
• A: While the requirements often overlap, DB certification is specific to Deutsche Bahn's own standards, which generally exceed the minimum requirements of the broader European standard EN 15085 for railway applications.
