Stainless Steel Wire Roes for Marine & General Applications

Stainless steel wire ropes boast higher corrosion resistance to salt water than galvanized wire ropes, so they are the best choice of marine applications. Meanwhile, the bright appearance of galvanized wire ropes will dull over time, but stainless steel wire rope will maintain its bright and modern appearance for years. Therefore they are generally used in decoration for modern display and architectural purposes, such as railings, architectural cables, cable balustrades, handrails, etc.

• The 304 material, as the most common type, is magnetic with excellent corrosion resistance and strength compared with galvanized steel wire ropes. But it still will corrode to some extent over year so it is not suitable for marine and food applications.
• The 305 material is more corrosive resistant than 304. Meanwhile, it is largely non-magnetic perfectly suited for aeronautical and naval fields.
• The 316 materials is the most corrosive resistant type and highly used in high corrosion environments and places with high salt spray. But the 316 material is about 10% less strength than 304 stainless steel.

Features:

• More flexible than 1 × 19 stainless steel wire rope.
• More rigid than 7 × 19 stainless steel wire rope.
• Excellent breaking load qualities.
• Available form 0.54mm to 12mm in diameter

Application:

• Marine industry such as rigging, sewage treatment work, steering cable and mast stay.
• General engineering applications such as control cable, davit ropes and slings
