Wire rope refers to a rope with a number of strands, made of steel wire, intertwined and helically inclined to form a spherical body. In the process of using wire rope, it is inevitable to come into contact with it.
Wire rope, as a generic term developed by the industry, includes all varieties of non-metallic rope, such as synthetic fiber rope, cotton rope, hemp rope and so on. But the wire rope we mention is mainly made of steel wire, and its structure is mainly composed of core and outer layer.
A wire rope is generally composed of several strands of steel wire strands, containing several wires in each strand, and the wires themselves can be divided into several small wires. Heavy duty and load-bearing wire ropes usually have higher strength.
The wires themselves are usually made of high-strength steel, and a variety of materials can be used, such as carbon steel and galvanized steel, stainless steel and so on. We usually recommend stainless steel wire rope for long-term use outdoors, as stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and durability.
Wire ropes are often used in various weight-bearing or traction parts, such as cranes, bridges, shipbuilding and so on. In addition, wire ropes and adhesives are also used in combination to make safety ropes, fishing ropes, anchor ropes and so on.
The use of wire rope must pay attention to the surface of the rope. If the surface of the rope is deteriorated, the damage caused by the corrosion will reduce the breaking strength of the rope. Secondly, the wire rope should be regularly lubricated, so as to ensure its flexibility and strength, reduce wear and extend service life.
Moreover, it is necessary to pay attention to the fastening of wire ropes. If the fastening force is improper, the life of wire ropes will be greatly reduced. In addition, the operation of wire rope should try to avoid sudden pressure and impact. Otherwise, the rope will be damaged due to fatigue, affecting its normal use.
In summary, it is important to contact the wire rope correctly to ensure its correct use. First, check the surface of the rope. If there are any obvious signs of wear or corrosion, you should replace the rope as soon as possible. Secondly, pay attention to proper lubrication, regular cleaning and maintenance. Finally, avoid sudden pressure or impact on the rope during use.
