Wire ropes are not only used as slings for hoisting operations, but also used in the construction of suspension bridges. The use of wire ropes on suspension bridges is much larger, and they are used as long-term traction support Used to control the stability of the entire suspension bridge.

Many people expressed their confusion. How did the steel wire rope hold the sea-crossing bridge weighing tens of millions of tons? Why won't the wire rope under high load for a long time break? This makes many people unbelievable, so how does the wire rope do this?

This starts with the production principle of steel wire rope. The production principle of steel wire rope is actually the same as that of hemp rope. First, twist the individual steel wire into a small strand of steel wire, and then twist the steel wire into a large strand, and repeat the process. Selection of materials, phosphating, oiling, plating and other processes to increase its strength and corrosion resistance. And when it is safely installed on the bridge, a special person will conduct regular inspection and maintenance to ensure the service life of the wire rope.
