Abstract
A conductor rail having a rail-like support section made of metallic material, in particular a support section which is I-shaped in cross-section, and which has at least one other component of another metal attached to it, has a light metal body acting as conductor section—in particular an extruded section of an aluminium alloy—mounted in at least one of the side channels of a ferrous support section, the component of higher strength material covering the outwards facing surface of the conductor section. This conductor section is fitted by mechanical locking into the side channel, the light metal body of the conductor section may reside in the side channel under compression.
