🔹 Steel rope production – used for lifting mechanisms, elevators, cranes, and other rope systems.
🔹 Construction – used in suspension structures, bridge systems, and safety applications.
🔹 Mining industry – used for hoisting mechanisms and mining rope systems.
🔹 Maritime and port industry – used for ropes and cable systems operating in demanding environments.
🔹 Automotive industry – used for steering cables and other cable components.
High tensile strength – withstands significant tensile loads in rope applications.
Wear resistance – provides resistance to mechanical abrasion during operation.
Corrosion protection – galvanized and zinc-aluminum coatings provide additional protection against corrosion.
Flexibility and durability – suitable for steel ropes subjected to repeated loading.
Various coating options – available with different surface conditions according to application requirements.
The chemical composition depends on the steel grade and applicable standard requirements. The wire is manufactured from non-alloy steel with controlled contents of carbon, manganese, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus. Zinc and aluminum, where applicable, are components of the protective coating rather than the base steel.
