Introduction
Zinc plated steel straps for coaxial cable, referred to as zinc plated steel straps (YB/T5088-1993), are widely used in cable harnesses, plant and equipment, electrical and mechanical systems and other applications. Zinc plated steel straps are composed of three layers, an inner layer of steel, a copper-zinc alloy layer, and an outer layer of zinc. This three-layer composite structure plays an important role in protecting the steel from corrosion and wear, and thus extending the service life of the product.
Technology
Because zinc plated steel strap plays a very important role in cable harnesses, it must have good mechanical properties. The mechanical properties of a product are determined by a number of factors, including the type of steel used, the finishing process, and the tempering and hardening processes employed.
The type of steel used for zinc plated steel straps is important because it affects the wear resistance and strength of the product. In general, cold-rolled steel is used for zinc plated steel straps because it offers better corrosion resistance and is more ductile than other types of steel.
Once the steel has been selected, the next step is to finish it. This is usually done by plating the steel with zinc. This is done by immersing the steel in an electrolyte solution and then using an electric current to force zinc ions into the steel. The layer of zinc provides some protection against corrosion and wear.
After the steel has been plated, it is then tempered and hardened. This is done to improve the mechanical properties of the steel by changing its grain structure. During tempering, selected zones of the steel are placed under stress, which causes the grains to become aligned in a certain direction. In order to reach the desired mechanical properties, the steel must be hardened to reduce its susceptibility to wear and tear.
Applications
Zinc plated steel straps are used to secure cables and other components in a cable harness. Cables are typically secured at two ends, and the zinc plated steel strap provides a secure connection between the two ends. The use of zinc plated steel straps has a number of advantages, including low cost, easy installation and corrosion resistance.
Zinc plated steel straps are also used in many industrial and mechanical applications, including conveyor systems, factory machinery, production lines and other systems. The straps are robust and corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for use in a harsh environment.
Conclusion
Zinc plated steel straps (YB/T5088-1993) are widely used to secure cables and other components in cable harnesses, as well as in industrial and mechanical applications. The three-layer composite structure of the product provides strong wear resistance and corrosion resistance, while the finishing and hardening processes improve its mechanical properties. The use of zinc plated steel straps is cost-effective and easy to install, making them a popular choice for many applications.
