Steel rope

Steel rope is a type of rope made from strands of steel wire. Wire ropes are typically made of high-quality, high-strength steel wire and can be coated with materials such as PVC or galvanized steel to protect them from corrosion and abrasion. The strength of a wire rope is determined by its diameter, the number of wires from which it is made, and the size and type of wire used in its construction. Steel ropes, in addition to their strength and durability, are abrasion resistant and can withstand high temperatures as well as being tensile resistant, making them ideal for applications where precise tension is required.

Usage Areas and Types

1) Stainless Steel Rope

Stainless steel is the standard alloy used in rope and cable. Although there is no difference in strength, its resistance to corrosion is much higher than galvanized and coated ropes. For this reason, they are the preferred material uses in the marine and water-based salt industries. It does not readily react to chemicals in food processing, textiles and photographic environments. Its high resistance to corrosion, heat and cold, and pulp and paper chemicals make stainless steel wire rope a much needed material for the manufacture of precision instruments, automobiles, fishing boats, petrochemical equipment and other fields.

2) Galvanized Rope

Galvanized wire ropes are steel wire materials that have been subjected to galvanization to increase corrosion resistance. The finished wire is dipped in a zinc bath to completely cover the product, that is, it is galvanized. Although the coating will degrade over time, it is resistant to rust, corrosion and other harsh chemicals. Galvanized wire can be found in the industrial and construction sectors, as well as in agriculture and DIY projects.

3) Coated Rope

Stainless steel and galvanized wire can be PVC coated with poly-vinyl chloride or vinyl. Coated wire rope comes in various colors such as clear, black, white or any color required in various industries. PVC coated wire is flexible, weather resistant and very cost effective. Nylon-coated wire, while not as flexible as PVC, is abrasion resistant and ideal for businesses in extremely cold regions. Wire ropes can be installed to suit specific applications.
