The train network in India is very extensive and accommodates a lot of frequently traveling passengers as well as the transport of heavy goods for the booming industrial needs. India’s important energy sector relies on coal and thermal fossil fuels, which were readily available to industry via the train network. Under this strain, the railway always strives to make maximum use of its routes and capacities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, Indian Train bogie manufacturing company ICF Indian Coach Factory surpassed the long-standing industry leader to become the world’s largest railway bogie manufacturing unit by producing more than expected in the financial year 2018-19. Due to India’s diverse terrain, railways seem to be the perfect transport for both passenger and freight services. The industry is challenged to improve current capacity to build train bogies with increased strength and ergonomics.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To understand the scenario, we need to look at the existing technology for welding train bogies. Understanding the scope of possible improvements and alternatives.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Before the introduction of fiber laser technology, the industry used MIG and TIG welding to weld sidewalls. These techniques were quite outdated and allowed for minimal upgrades over the last decade. When using these conventional methods, other processes must be combined to meet increasing aesthetic and strength requirements. Here are some disadvantages of the systems:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
