Steel wire ropes are usually composed of several parallel strands of steel wire, and are widely used in fields such as human production, construction, transportation, and ocean due to their high strength, wear resistance, durability, and long service life. In daily life, we also use many types of steel wire ropes. This article will introduce some common steel wire ropes and their characteristics.

1、 Ordinary steel wire rope

The basic structure of an ordinary steel wire rope includes a rope core and a rope skin, most of which are composed of 6 strands of steel wire, with 7 or 19 steel wires per strand. Ordinary steel wire ropes have high strength and load-bearing capacity, as well as torsional stiffness and durability, making them suitable for lifting, traction, fixation and other fields. However, ordinary steel wire ropes also have defects, such as susceptibility to wear, fatigue, and corrosion, which require regular maintenance and inspection.

2、 Stainless steel rope

Stainless steel rope is woven from multiple stainless steel wires. Compared to ordinary steel wire ropes, stainless steel ropes do not rust, can resist corrosion and corrosion, and have a long lifespan. It also has high temperature, cold resistance, and corrosion resistance, suitable for high-end fields such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical, aerospace, etc.

3、 Galvanized steel wire rope

Galvanized steel wire rope is woven from galvanized steel wire. It has good corrosion resistance and can be used in humid environments. At the same time, galvanized steel wire ropes also have good strength and durability, suitable for hanging chains, lifting, support, and rock drilling and other fields.

4、 PC wire harness wire rope

PC steel wire rope steel strand bundle is a building material composed of high-quality tool steel wire rope and high-quality cement through pre-stressing processing technology. Its structure has good durability and small self weight, and is divided into single layer, double layer, patterned, etc. It is suitable for bridges, tunnels, water conservancy, fire-resistant rooms and other fields in construction. PC wiring harnesses have high strength and long service life, and are commonly used in concrete structures of large buildings.

5、 Metal cable

Metal cable is a metal wire rope woven or interwoven with steel wires, commonly used in offshore drilling, construction, mining, and railway fields. Metal cables have the characteristics of fatigue resistance, strong load-bearing capacity, and adaptability to various environments, while also having a long lifespan. However, attention should be paid to anti-corrosion, rust prevention, and maintenance.

In summary, steel wire ropes have a wide range of applications in daily life. Different types of steel wire ropes have different characteristics and advantages and disadvantages. It is necessary to choose steel wire ropes that are suitable for your field and use and maintain them correctly to ensure their service life and safety.
